Morales

Morales is a planet located within Federation space, and with a significant Orion population.

During the Four Years War, Starfleet made the discovery that the Orions had driven the planet's original inhabitants, the Morali, into the jungles and wastelands. The Morali had forgotten their culture, language, and begun to live like animals. Some reports even claimed that the Morali were being hunted by the Orion settlers. In response, the Federation established a military government to temporarily oversee the affairs of the planet's 350 million inhabitants. The plan was to eventually create a more humane form of government; regardless, the planet remains a military possession under Commodore Milton Ashe.

A recent relaxation of Orion emigration has resulted in a large number of Orions settling on the planet where unemployment is high and urban-planning seriously lacking. An additional influx of 5,000 illegal Orion immigrants per year has only complicated the situation. (The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge)
