Star Trek: Starfleet Command - Orion Pirates is the 2001 standalone expansion pack for the 2000 space combat game Star Trek: Starfleet Command II - Empires at War. It does not require the original game to play. It includes a fully-fledged and playable version of the Orion race which was present as a non-controllable enemy race in prior titles, but is split to 8 different cartels, each with its own ship configurations but sharing the same hull designs. It also includes an overhauled campaign which now includes the Orion activity layer as an addition to the standard races' territory possessions.
As of Windows 10, the game crashes in the early game after a few commands are entered, which can be resolved with a single configuration file change.
