Variants:
    The ON1-DA Orion was a modification to the Orion seen mostly in the Ducy of Andurien, hence
    the designation. Dropping the KaliYama class 10 autocannon and its ammo for a Kreuss PPC, a
    second Irian Weapon Works short-range missile launcher mounted around the left arm I.W.W.
    Medium laser, and five spare heat sinks gives the design greater range overall, but does not
    lessen its short-range punch to any appreciable degree. However, the missile launcher has
    been found to be as problematic as the long-range launcher during high-heat situations;
    which, admittedly, the extra heat sinks help alleviate. Additionally, the PPC is the same
    model from the same sources as those used by the Awesome assault ‘Mech, which, combined
    with the limited supplies of these weapons that the League as a whole usually suffers, means
    that sourcing these weapons has proven difficult at times. For these reasons, this model
    Orion is not often seen on the battlefield, especially towards the end of the Third
    Succession War.
