[edit] Contacts & Structure

[edit] Contact Information

Orion is contactable on their forum Here

Many Orion members choose to meet in #orion on the irc.coldfront.net IRC servers. The channel is open to any and all diplomats from all alliances.

[edit] Government Structure

The government structure of Orion is one built for speed of decision making, however it also attempts a pioneering stance on it's structure. Each position will normally hold two members of the government at equal rank, including the leadership. The allows for equal accountability, as well as a self-maintained "checks & balance" system. This government would not be possible without efficient communication, and implicit trust of each member.

The different position levels and their descriptions can be found in the Orion Charter. Please see this for any questions you may have.

[edit] History

[edit] bk-Hawk Coalition Chancellorship

Orion was founded on August 27th 2008, and is a coagulation of both ISSF and CMEA alliances. It was lead by chancellors bk and Hawk from ISSF and CMEA respectively. Membership Peaked around 140 members and it passed 2 million nation strength quickly. The alliance was relatively uneventful during this time. However, in Late November several of its key founding members, including Chancellor Hawk, left the alliance. This meant the end of the Coalition Chancellorship.

[edit] bk Chancellorship

Orion continued its peaceful growth over the following months.

In late January, Orion suffered another membership loss. This time, Yawoo and Minister of Defence Aisrep.
