The Founding Story of Orion United

The Battle of Orion

In the year 2712, during the devastating Battle of Orion, the UEE’s struggle to defend its citizens against the relentless Vanduul incursion left the Orion system in ruins. Entire colonies were razed, and countless lives were lost or displaced as humanity faced an existential threat. Amid this chaos, the cracks in the UEE’s infrastructure became painfully clear: critical systems faltered, communication networks were severed, and tactical coordination failed at crucial moments.

Amidst the ashes of Orion, a group of survivors—engineers, coders, and technologists—banded together in the ruins of a once-thriving colony on Armitage. Witnessing the failures of outdated systems firsthand, they made a vow: never again would humanity stand divided or technologically unprepared in the face of such a threat. They would escape and create tools to unite citizens, organizations, and governments, ensuring that even in the darkest times, humanity could rely on its ingenuity and collaboration.

This group became the founding members of Orion United.
