The Orion is a heavy Cruiser, borderline battlecruiser made by the U.N.E. that has very high health for a Cruiser, decent Spinal damage, and light turrets in case any small ships attack. Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Orion is a slow Cruiser. It carries 2 Small Lasers and 1 Medium Laser, it is capable of good Spinal Weaponry use, but is slow for a ship of its class.
Appearance
On the back of the Orion is a teleporter that leads to a small room which contains nothing but the pilot's seat. The current model is partially broken due to an admin deleting several ship meshes.
Advantages
- High-damaging Spinals.
- Decent support ship.
- Highest health of any non-event Cruiser.
- A few light turrets to defend against small ships.
Disadvantages
- Vulnerable bottom and sides.
- Slow for a Cruiser.
- Not much Turret firepower, they do not do much against capital ships.
- Lack of Flak or Cannon Turrets, meaning you must use its Spinals in order to deal Hull damage.
- Large for a Cruiser.
Strategy
- Escort larger ships for sieges and use its Small Cannons to kill attacking ships.
- Moderately effective against a single Alien Swarmer, but does not fare well against larger groups.
- Use your Spinals to deal damage to capital ships, and your Turrets to attack small ships.

Trivia
- Named after a famous star constellation, Orion the Hunter.
- The current model is based on the Veteran from Galaxy on Fire 2.
- The U.N.E have used this ship in the past.
- Has a limited version, the Cold Blood.
