Task Force Orion was a formation in the Navy of the Salarian Union. Attached to the Eighth Fleet, the task force was a subdivision assigned to aid in STG operations along the Traverse's frontier, as well as to intervene and stop batarian slaver parties, pirates and mercenary bands, as well as to provide additional security against unknown alien threats.
When Reaper forces first entered the galaxy and began to besiege Hegemony space, Task Force Orion was dispatched to investigate the loss of contact. They briefly engaged a small Reaper force of half a dozen ships, and were forced to withdraw. Seeing that they were facing an extremely powerful and new foe, Task Force Orion was recalled to Sur'Kesh as the entire salarian military was mobilized.
