Overview[]
The Fires of Orion was one of the sister ships of the Andromeda Ascendant, and was destroyed in the fall of the Systems Commonwealth. Apparently, Rommie was close to her, because she was referred to fondly by Rommie in a conversation that she had with Dylan.
Trivia[]
- The name refers to the quote from ”Blade Runner”.
- Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
