Not one empire — a whole contested region, with its own resistance league.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Orion Empire (Orion Group)
“Orion Group” is not one faction but an umbrella covering several documented, and often mutually opposed, powers: the Orion Empire itself (also called the Uru An-Na Empire — Orion is simply a phonetic rendering of “Uru An-Na,” meaning “the Light of Heaven”), its inner “Alliance of the Six” and independent “Grey Collective,” and a separate resistance bloc, the Orion League, whose stated purpose is protecting its member worlds from the Grey-Reptilian Orion Empire. Treating all of this as a single unified “Syndicate” erases exactly the internal conflict that makes the documented material interesting.
Name: Orion Empire (also referred to as the Orion Group)
AKA: Uru An-Na Empire — “Orion” is described as a phonetic translation of “Uru An-Na,” meaning “the Light of Heaven”
Location – Home System: Not a single system. The Orion Empire’s inner “Alliance of the Six” is centered on the M42 (Orion Nebula) cluster, with its logistics and military headquarters at Rigel — also called “Asba’a” — roughly 860 light-years from our Sun, described as a quadruple star system enclosed within a “plasmic shield.” A separate faction, the Orion League, is based around Alnitak, Betelgeuse, and Meissa.
Distance from Earth: Approximately 860 light-years to Rigel; Undocumented precisely for the broader Empire, which spans multiple stars
Attitude: The Orion Empire is described as combining races of “pure evil” alongside others with “highly elevated spiritual wisdom” (unnamed), reflecting a genuinely mixed and internally contentious population rather than a single hostile monolith. It is reported to be philosophically aligned with colonization, imperialism, and “service to self.” The separate Orion League exists specifically to resist it.
Motives: Colonization and imperial expansion, per the Exopaedia website, following an early alliance between Vegan explorers and Reptilian civilizations who shared this agenda
Physical Appearance: No single physical template applies to a population this large and varied. A separate, more detailed secondary source describes the “Tall Greys” specifically (associated with Orion) as 7 to 8 feet tall, with some accounts claiming individuals as tall as 11 feet, featuring larger and sometimes prominent noses distinguishing them from smaller Grey types, and possessing vestigial reproductive capability. A distinct source gives a demographic breakdown for humanoid Orion-system inhabitants generally: roughly 75% “standard” Vegan-type humans, 14% non-human Vegan-type (insect- or reptoid-like), 10% darker-skinned Lyran-descended, and 1% Caucasian Lyran-descended, with a “priestly” class distinguished by unnaturally clear blue eyes said to be attained through a spiritual practice rather than genetics.
- Average Height: Varies enormously by named group — no single figure applies. “Tall Greys” specifically: 7–8 ft, with some accounts up to 11 ft.
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Undocumented in unified terms; varies by named subgroup
- Eyes: Documented specifically for one “priestly” Orion-system class: unnaturally clear blue, said to result from a spiritual practice rather than genetic inheritance
- Sex: The “Tall Greys” are documented as retaining vestigial reproductive capability and using modified cloning, artificial insemination, and implantation to reproduce; some hybrid lineages cross-bred with taller reptilian species reportedly retain full reproductive capability
Other Physical Information: The “Tall Greys” are documented with an estimated brain capacity of 2,500 to 3,500 cc, compared to roughly 1,300 cc for an average human — attributed to artificially grown neural matter produced through cloning, into which memory patterns and consciousness can reportedly be inserted by design
Special Traits and Abilities: The “Tall Greys” are described as capable of performing actions that appear “miraculous” to observers, attributed variously to advanced technology or to spiritual, biological, or bio-electric gifts, and are reported to glide rather than walk
Communication Type: Undocumented in unified terms
Origin: The Orion Empire was established by Vegan explorers who, upon encountering Reptilian civilizations sharing a common agenda of colonization and “service to self,” formed an alliance with them, per the Exopaedia website
Life Form Type: A mixture of reptilian and humanoid civilizations, per the Exopaedia website, with “Greys” constituting the majority of the reptilian-classified population and Vegans predominating among the humanoid population
Subspecies: None formally confirmed as biological castes. The Empire’s inner “Alliance of the Six” is composed of six named races occupying the M42 cluster — referred to in one source as the Maytra, Kiily Tokurit, Ebans, Grial, Ciakahrr (more accurately identified as the Alpha-Draco), and Indugutk — who are reported to use the Do Hu, Asbaan, and Solipsi Rai as a subordinate labor force.
Most Common Species: “Greys” broadly, per the Exopaedia website’s description of the Empire’s reptilian-classified majority
Level of Species: Undocumented — no formal tier or “Level X” classification is supported by any source
Habits: The Empire is reported to have built “artificial synthetic worlds” within the M42 star-forming region, though no source names their residents or the worlds themselves. An independent organization called the Orion “Grey” Collective, composed of all Grey races in the Orion zone, is reported to operate separately from the Alliance of the Six, opposed to the Galactic Federation of Worlds, the Orion League, and the Orion Council of Five, and allied instead with the Draco Empire, the Ashtar Collective, and the Corporate of Altair.
Transportation Type: Undocumented in unified terms; no “Black Triangle” or “Cigar-shaped” craft type is specifically attributed to the Orion Empire in any source reviewed
Witnesses Reports: SSP veteran Penny Bradley confirms the existence of an Orion Empire. Broader background comes from the Exopaedia website and Elena Danaan’s A Gift from the Stars. No source reviewed connects this entry specifically to the Betty and Barney Hill case (see the separate Neonates entry) or to Phil Schneider’s claims.
Special Features/Characteristics: The Orion Nebula (M42) is described as containing an “interdimensional portal” of particular interest to the Alpha-Draco; the Corporate of Altair reportedly sought control of it first, then allied with the Draco upon finding it already under Draco control. Separately, government sources are reported to have referred to the smaller, less hostile Grey type associated with 1950s–70s diplomatic agreements as the “Ebans” (or “Ebens”).
Summary/Description: “Orion Empire,” also called the Uru An-Na Empire, names a complex and internally divided set of powers rather than a single hostile force. Its inner “Alliance of the Six” occupies the M42 (Orion Nebula) cluster with a military headquarters at Rigel, and comprises six named races that reportedly use several other races as a subordinate labor force. An independent Grey Collective operates alongside it, allied with the Draco Empire. Opposing this bloc is the separate Orion League, based around Alnitak, Betelgeuse, and Meissa, whose stated purpose is protecting its members from the Grey-Reptilian Orion Empire. No unified biometric profile, named castes, or “Level X” classification applies across this entire, deliberately complicated political landscape.

Related Cases: The separate Orion League (Alnitak, Betelgeuse, Meissa) actively opposes the Orion Empire and should not be conflated with it.
DETAILED REPORT
SSP veteran Penny Bradley confirms the existence of an Orion Empire, whose name is explained as a phonetic rendering of “Uru An-Na,” meaning “the Light of Heaven.” Two further sources — the Exopaedia website and Elena Danaan’s A Gift from the Stars — provide the bulk of documented detail. Exopaedia describes two major regional empires, the “Draconian” Empire and the more recent Orion Empire, the latter established after Vegan explorers encountered Reptilian civilizations sharing a common agenda of colonization and “service to self” and allied with them. The resulting Empire is described as a mixture of reptilian and humanoid civilizations, with “Greys” constituting the majority of the reptilian-classified population and Vegans predominating among the humanoid population; roughly one in six worlds in the Orion constellation is said to host a reptilian population, though how this figure was determined is not explained. Exopaedia further notes a separate organization, the Orion Confederation, whose relationship to the Orion Empire as a possible successor remains unclear even to that source.
Danaan’s account adds considerable structural detail. She describes the Orion Nebula (M42) as containing an interdimensional portal of particular interest to the Alpha-Draco, with the Corporate of Altair having sought control of it before allying with the Draco once it was found to already be under Draco control. Within this cluster sits the “Nubu” Orion Empire, or Alliance of the Six — “Nubu” reportedly meaning “the masters” — composed of six named races: the Maytra, Kiily Tokurit, Ebans, Grial, Ciakahrr (more accurately the Alpha-Draco), and Indugutk, who are said to use the Do Hu, Asbaan, and Solipsi Rai as a subordinate labor force. The Alliance’s spiritual center sits within M42 itself, while its military and logistical headquarters are located at Rigel — also called “Asba’a” — a quadruple star system roughly 860 light-years from Earth, described as enclosed within a “plasmic shield” and once host to abundant life before becoming, in Danaan’s words, “a colonization heaven.”
A separate, independent body, the Orion “Grey” Collective, is composed of all Grey races in the Orion zone and operates apart from the Alliance of the Six. It is described as opposed to the Galactic Federation of Worlds, the Orion League, and the Orion Council of Five, allying instead with the Draco Empire, the Ashtar Collective, and the Corporate of Altair. The Orion League itself — a genuinely separate faction from the Orion Empire, not a subset of it — currently includes Alnitak, Betelgeuse, and Meissa among its members, existing specifically to protect its worlds from the Grey-Reptilian Orion Empire.
A further, distinct body of secondary material — not part of Muller’s Orion Empire sourcing but widely circulated in ufology discussion — describes the “Tall Greys” associated with Orion in more physical detail: 7 to 8 feet tall on average, with some witness claims reaching 11 feet, larger noses than smaller Grey types, vestigial reproductive capability supplemented by cloning and artificial insemination, and an estimated brain capacity of 2,500–3,500 cc against roughly 1,300 cc for humans. This same material states that government sources referred to the smaller, less hostile Grey type involved in 1950s–70s diplomatic agreements as the “Ebans” or “Ebens.” A separate demographic breakdown circulating in related literature places Orion-system humanoid populations at roughly 75% standard Vegan-type, 14% non-human Vegan-type (insect- or reptoid-like), 10% darker-skinned Lyran-descended, and 1% Caucasian Lyran-descended, with a priestly class distinguished by unnaturally clear blue eyes attributed to spiritual practice.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Orion Empire — M42, Rigel, and an Internally Divided Political Landscape
- Classification Correction: This entry previously flattened a genuinely complex, internally opposed political landscape — the Orion Empire/Alliance of Six, the independent Grey Collective, and the resistance-oriented Orion League — into a single hostile “Syndicate” with a unified biometric panel, invented technology (Chronos-Tech, Direct Mental Interface, Dyson-ring habitats), and a “Level X” classification. None of this simplification is supported by the sources, which describe named internal factions, alliances, and rivalries in considerable and specific detail.
- Source Chain Assessment: The core Orion Empire material comes from the Exopaedia website and Elena Danaan, cross-referenced by Jake Muller against SSP veteran Penny Bradley’s confirmation that such an empire exists. This should be treated as a reasonably detailed but still unverified secondary compilation. The Tall Grey physical-typology material and the Orion-system demographic breakdown come from separate, wider secondary ufology sources not part of Muller’s citation chain, and are presented here as supplementary, similarly unverified detail.
- Pattern Context / Comparative Cases: The Orion League’s existence is the single most important corrective this entry required: it is a real, separately documented faction that exists specifically to resist the Grey-Reptilian Orion Empire, meaning “Orion” cannot be treated as a synonym for a single hostile force without erasing an entire documented resistance movement.
- Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No independent verification exists for any part of this material. Even within the sources themselves, several key claims are explicitly noted as unexplained — including why Reptiloid Greys are said to favor the Orion Nebula’s radiation environment, and how the “one in six worlds” reptilian-population figure was determined.
- Geographic and Historical Context: Rigel’s real astronomical distance (roughly 860 light-years) is distinct from the roughly 1,200-light-year distance associated with the stars of Orion’s Belt (Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka) documented elsewhere in this archive’s Mintakans entry; the two should not be conflated as a single “Orion’s Belt” distance figure.
“Orion Empire” turns out to name a genuinely complicated, internally contested set of powers — an inner Alliance of Six headquartered at Rigel, an independent Grey Collective, and a separate resistance league actively opposing them — rather than the single, unified hostile army this page previously described.
Rigel is described as having once been “a colonization heaven.”
