The Orion system was a trinary star system in the Beta Quadrant. Its primary was Pi3 Orionis. Located in the Orion sector, the system consisted of three planets, the outermost of which was known as Orion Prime.
The Orion system was just under 10 light years from Coridan, and only 26.3 light years from Sol. While located within Federation space, it remained an independent system, and was the seat of the Orion Colonies and the Orion Union.(TNG novels: The Persistence of Memory, Silent Weapons, The Light Fantastic; Star Trek: Star Charts; TOS novel: The Great Starship Race)
The Orion Institute of Cosmology was located on Orion I, and the Bank of Orion was headquartered on Orion III. (VOY: "Good Shepherd"; TNG novel: Silent Weapons)
