'''The United Federation of Orion''' (UFO) was a federal republic on [[Civcraft 2.0]] located deep in the Northwestern (-,-) quadrant.

History
Butter Brigade Attacks
After a brief peacetime era, Orion once again became under attack by a new group, the Butter Brigade. The Butter Brigade's first attack was done in the middle of the night. The most known building in Orion, the Orion 101, was torn down by them while the Orion player base was low. What followed was a day a griefing for the town. Eventually the perpetrator was caught, and put into a minor vault, while the main one was being built.
Soon, friends of the pearled criminal were showing up in the city, and attacking innocents. While this was going on, they had someone breaking out their friend. The attacks lasted for 2 days. During this time, Orion pleaded for Minas Minas to send help to defend the city. No help was sent, besides a lone unarmed diplomat, who arrived on his own free will to help out in the situation. He was later pearled in the attacks.
Then all of a sudden the attacks stopped. There was news that the BB was heading up north to attack Minas Minas directly. Hearing this news, the remaining Orionites split up into 2 groups. One to help defend Minas Minas, and another one to break the BB's vault.
Eventually the attackers were pearled in Minas by a united effort by many assorted players. Some would even come down to Orion and help with the freeing of the innocents.

Member Cities
Orion
Orion was a Democratic-Capitalist city located in the -,- on the edge of a river. The city was started on the first day of Civcraft 2.0 due to great luck in finding a good location.
The city started out as a hole in the ground that held the beds of the founding citizens in addition to mines that were used to get supplies for the city. Following these initial weeks, a period of rapid expansion occurred; the city quickly ran out of open plots and skyscrapers spawned within the first weeks of construction.
After the immediate success Orion was set back due to the group of griefers known as the Black Knights, or "BK". This spawned out of the belthazor incident where he admitted to cheating. What followed were weeks of repetitive murders and griefing that shook the town to its bones. With aid from Kappi and the Metropolis most of the griefers were caught. The rest fled to Haven.
There was a small resurgence of BK attacks soon after when the griefers attacked from Haven and pearling a large portion of the unsuspecting citizens. This was related to the reparations that were set against the griefers while unannounced in their entirety were "too high". With help from Haven, they were eventually settled.
Soon after Orion experienced its largest population expansion yet, quickly going from the few remaining citizens to well over 50.
