There is more to the Orions than their surface level depiction, but of course we have to dig deeper. They are after-all, THE race to introduce the green-skinned alien babe trope.
But as said, from their government to their syndicate, there is more to their society than first appears.
This is the Cultural Index a series aimed at exploring various Science-Fiction species.
For outsiders to a series to get to know the basics and maybe even hardened Sci-fi nuts might discover something new.
Thanks for watching!
How to VOTE on what happens next:
Down below in the comments are two choices of topics left by me.
Whichever gets more likes is the species that will get the next video!

Got a few thoughts on this... Easiest is their genes are very dominant leading to the hybrids being almost undisguisable, a kin to human hybrids with only reduced ridges or slight ear points, that can disappear after a couple generation or are easy to cosmetically fix to fit their standards... Or they might even have rules that only those passable as "pure" Orion are let on ships to meet other races. Either because they don't know how new race will react to seeing other races. Say they had a half Vulcan on board when making first contact with Andorians when they were still at war, that would put an end to those "talks"... Or maybe it's a strategy because many races find smoother skin more appealing and less threatening. Kind of like how Cardassian women got surgery for smoother skin to look more Bajorian. Their whole thing is getting "close" so if the other people think your in "bed" with their enemy or if your "repulsive" to them that plan falls a apart quickly...

It would make sense if you think about it just like a human (with iron based blood) will turn red as the blood flow increases either due to physical activity or stress, by blushing. If the copper blood based species had a vascular system that was similar to ours (which if you believe the preservers seeded the Star Trek galaxy did) they would look more greenish in the same situations humans would start looking rosey.

A combination of skin-lightening makeup and special lighting was used to try to give Nimoy a slightly greenish skin tone. The effect was almost unnoticeable on-screen due to film-stock limitations and the low resolution of early color television when first broadcast. It is more noticeable in the digital remasters.

I'm still impressed that Discovery went and brought back the Orions, same as Enterprise did. TNG, DS9 and Voyager were all really lax on the secondary classic species, with only one Andorian appearing between all of them and looking awful to boot, and maybe one Tellarite in Voyager, zero appearance from the Orions though. At least the post-millenium shows actually bother to do stuff with the different aliens that TOS established. Not like painting someone green would be that difficult to begin with...

Thank you. I've been trying to pin down if the Orions were/were not in the Federation & I thought they weren't, but from your video I think I got it right?

Is there a episode on the Deltans? Except for Star Trek The Motion Picture, I never seen a Deltan on any series. Amazing how Talos IV is never mentioned in any series except the original series.

That's pretty sweet. I just watched BOUND. I think the Orion's kinda fun. I think they need to use the right color that makes the Females skin glow electric green. Leave the males camou. Culturally it appears the idea may be derived from Egypt's Orsiris? But there's always Nordic Mythology with Cernunnos, The Green Man. Biblically, & I feel most importantly, it's crucial to understand Orion is one of the most repeatedly recognized select few renown Holy Celestial Skymarks specifically addressed & accredited by Our Lord. I particularly enjoy the women as I enjoy a healthy variety of Color given good form. :)

is ENTERPRISE some alternate timeline (as I seem to recall an episode of ENTERPRISE that revealed that Orion women were commonly the masters of the males (their slaves))?... oh, hadn't heard the later-part of the video yet (where you talk about that a little) - I guess that kind of echoes human-history, where people sort of '"justify" owning slaves' by the slavery they- or others of their ethnicity-had gone through.
