3412 BCE
- RSD -55/87:[Notes 1] This year is the first public mention of Orion starship crews on an alien insurance claim.[1]
2249 BCE
- RSD -43/51:[Notes 1] The Battle of Lomatin IV sees Orions in ground, air, and space combat on both sides. Botchok's national governments lodge a protest over the breaking of the Treaty of Kammzdast, and the belligerent worlds are punished. Other powers use Orions in combat more discreetly.[1]
1492 BCE
- RSD -35/0811 (November):[Notes 1] By popular legend, the Orion Dawn begins when Ombrey and Maark steal two armed alien freighters, putting ships under sole Orion command and starting the Orion pirate tradition. They settle the Rigel B/C worlds the same year.[1] The Orions' far-flung network of secret supply stations and repair yards allows them to steal two armed merchant ships. Though the Rigellians had complete information on the theft, they profess ignorance to the Kammzdast signatories who dare ask for their aid. The Rigellians subtly use their influence to bring more Orions into their trade halls. In less than 50 years, the Orion pirates will have 200 merchant vessels.[2]
1283 BCE
- RSD -33/17:[Notes 1] The first Orion-built and Orion-crewed ships—unarmed merchants—are launched from yards on the Bema, Sharu, and Nilor colonies. Secretly, pirate hulls had long since been regularly manufactured. By this time, there is substantial Orion involvement in the Rigel IV trading halls.[1]
