The Orion Syndicate

Description:
A highly secretive criminal organization who deal in just about anything on the black market. Their motto "take everything, and give nothing back" is to live by.
Biological Description:
The races that make up the Orion Syndicate are varied, but most are humanoid in one form or another with humans being the major majority. . 
Society Description:
The Orion Syndicate is controlled through a code of silence. Any member who violates this code will eventually be killed. The syndicate is tightly organized but highly departmentalized as to reduce the likelihood of infiltration. Each ship or planet controlled by the Orion Syndicate is under the direct authority of either a Captain or Governor, both rankings being held by highly trusted long time members of the Syndicate. The authority is absolute, say that they do answer to bosses above them. The leader of the Orion Syndicate has the title of King Pin and is only known by the name Othello. 
General History Description:
The Orion Syndicate was for centuries operated in a state that can best be described as controlled anarchy. The local Orion governments control little more than the spaceports and population centers surrounding them. All other matters are handled by the corporations and syndicates operating in the region. This extreme lassez-faire attitude within Orion space makes them a popular commercial center for reputable and disreputable traders alike. A strong black market trade is run through Orion space, including the sale of drugs, weapons, and Orion slave women. Such darker business matters are usually handled by crime syndicates operating in secret or using fake corporations as a front for their dealings. The most powerful and far reaching of these entities is the Orion Syndicate itself, a criminal organization with its fingers in illegal activities throughout the known galaxy. The Orion Syndicate is, of course, only one of hundreds of syndicates that operate throughout Orion space and beyond, but it is the most influential and the one entity that most outsiders associate with Orion society. However in recent years much of what has come to be known as the Orion Syndicate has acquired absolute control over Orion society and has developed an interest in claiming planets and establishing their own sphere of influence and control outside the boarders of other races. The Orion Syndicate is an organization of pirates through and through, and will colonize empty planets in the claimed space of other races, and will attack ships armed or unarmed.
