The Orion Registry was a semi-regular census of the Orion people and the Orion Colonies, focusing on trade and business data. It was published at approximately ten-year intervals. Following the fall of the Orion Empire, a time marked by arrogance and pride during the turbulent period of the Reverse, a humbled Botchok Planetary Congress (BPC) discreetly shifted its focus from government to accounting. To restore economic order, the BPC compiled the Orion Registry, which would list all the remaining Orion Colonies, their populations, great families, economic data, preferences in trade and various other business statistics.
