Orion slave girl Orion slave girls ( also known as Orion animal women ) were female Orion s who were very popular " commodities , " trafficked through the slavemarkets of the Orion Syndicate . In 2152 , Zoumas recalled to Charles " Trip " Tucker , while they were on an Enolian transport together , how he himself had once spent two hours with an Orion slave girl . This story was among many Zoumas told Tucker , to the point of driving Tucker to become irritated with how much Zoumas was talking to him . ( ) The next year , Tellarite bounty hunter Skalaar commented to Captain Jonathan Archer that , if rival bounty hunter Kago - Darr managed to collect a reward the Klingon s were offering for the capture of Archer , Kago - Darr would probably spend it on Orion slave girls , an expenditure Skalaar considered a " waste . " If he managed to obtain the reward himself , on the other hand , he planned not to spend it on Orion slave girls but would instead spend it on buying back " Tezra " , a freighter he previously owned . ( ) In 2154 , some crew members wound up as commodities themselves , at a processing station on Verex III . When Captain Archer expressed surprise that the Orions would sell their own kind , Arik Soong told him the females were " known for their extreme appetites , their innate skills . " The Verex market ' s Orion slaver had even sold his last wife . ( ) Later that year , the secret of the Orion slave girls ' irresistibility was discovered when the slave sisters Navaar , D ' Nesh , and Maras were presented to Captain Archer , ostensibly to improve relations between Earth and the Orions . Their presence became a major distraction to the crew of " Enterprise " due – it turned out – to the powerful pheromone s which they were releasing . It was revealed that Orion females were not enslaved at all , but rather the enslavers , and the sisters were active agents in a plot to capture " Enterprise " for the Orion Syndicate . ( ) In the 2250s , Captain Pike had some personal experience of Orion culture to weigh against Starfleet ' s 23rd century scientific insights . In 2254 , his fantasy of doing business on the Orion colony at one point came to include Vina in the form of an " animal woman " . ( ) One of his fantasized guests remarked that the natives of the colony were " funny " because they " actually like being taken advantage of . " ( ) By the 24th century , Orion slave girls had become quite popular characters in holosuite programs . ( ) While in the brig aboard the in 2374 , Dukat casually requested a bottle of " kanar " and an Orion slave girl to help him pass the time . ( ) Background information . The Orion slave girls were first conceived in the story outline for " The Cage " , as " sinuous green dancing girls " of Protos VI , who danced barefooted along with Vina , though she herself was not technically said to be one of them . ( " The Making of Star Trek " , p . 58 ) In the second revised final draft script of " The Cage " ( which contained Captain James Winter rather than Captain Pike ) , the appearance of Vina as an Orion slave girl was described thus ; " " Wild ! Green skin , glistening as if oiled . Her fingertips are long gleaming razor - edged scimitars , her hair not unattractive but suggesting a wild animal mane . " " After her eyes were also stated to be " wild , " the script continued , " " We feel she ' s larger than before , immensely strong [ . . . ] Now dancing wildly , animal beautiful [ . . . ] The green , animal Vina [ . . . ] seeming taller than Winter , perhaps even stronger . " " Manny Coto once admitted that , prior to becoming largely responsible for the appearance of Orion slave girls in ENT Season 4 , he had " always been fascinated with [ . . . ] the Orion slave girls . " ( " Before Her Time : Decommissioning " Enterprise " , Part Two : Memorable Voyages " , ENT Season 4 Blu - ray special features ) In the final draft script of , the Orion slave girls in that installment were described as " stunningly beautiful . " Commenting on the existence of Orions on Earth in the alternate reality , Roberto Orci suggested that there might be " an underground railroad and some of the [ Orion Slave Girls ] got out and they were sold to freedom . . .
