The Syndicate did not attempt to do much in the way of governing the Orion people, though they positioned enough of a council in place to maintain stability on the planet. The Orion government was very difficult to define, as the only body of any real power was that of the Syndicate. As yet, Starfleet had been unable to plant a reliable agent into the Syndicate. The Syndicate was very careful who it lets into their confidences, and their membership process was both expensive and time-consuming and not without risk. There had been attempts by Starfleet Intelligence to infiltrate the Syndicate, but every attempt had ended in failure, with the Starfleet operative exposed and eliminated. The Federation had issued dozens of sanctions against the Syndicate in the last several decades, though the enforcement of those sanctions had been inconsistent from administration to administration. While most of their crimes were heinous, it was the last that was of the greatest concern to the Federation. They operated, either covertly or openly, dozens of gambling halls and slave markets.
