Caj

The Caj were a group of Orions that formed a great family.

The caju act a merchant houses, organizing trade networks, inter-clan marriages, funding explorers and hiring mercenaries for immediate crises. Each caj takes care of its; no Orion has the authority to speak for the species, and that's how they like it. Orion governments more closely resemble loose patchworks of individual subcontractors paid by the caju to negotiate with foreigners, build roads, run court systems and so forth.
