Re: Star Trek Orions
It's from GURPS: Prime Directive and I'm not shot in the head about it either. Although I do think some kind of -5 disadvantage representing the species proclivity for larceny is appropriate.
Having a CF in no way implies they get along with that culture. It does mean they suffer no penalties when dealing with that culture. E.g. I don't see them suffering a -3 penalty when haggling with a Federation free trader or vamping a starfleet ensign. I figure most Pirates do what must be done to ensure they are not at a disadvantage in a culture they regularly deal with.

Re: Star Trek Orions
Captain Joy;
That looks like it ought to work fairly well. (I don't like the pheromone idea myself, but what you have should work.) Why is the Radiation Tolerance optional? As a racial feature wouldn't all, or none have it? Or have I forgotten part of your background? David Johnston2; G:PD's, and TOS's background have the Orions as being part/closely associated with the Federation. Realistically the CF should depend on where they work, Orions Pirates have bases spread all through the Alpha Sector. Intolerance legal systems, this is limited to Orion Pirate template the common Orion lacks this Dis Ad in G:PD

Right, but I like Intolerance legal systems for all Orions as it explains why their own government is ineffectual.

Also, calling it Intolerance just bugs me. How does that even work, -3 Reactions with a Neutral cap toward authority figures who enforce the law? Lawyers? Members of Congress? |

On this we are in complete agreement. But I can't think of anything better. The intolerance is really against legal systems, not a group of people.
