Orion numbers

[Infinite]

In hierarchical, authoritarian systems, a few always rule over many. I'd say the 4d is probably most prevalent, with smaller numbers of 5d and 6d. If they had more higher density, their system wouldn't work as effectively, because there would be "too many chiefs and not enough Indians"(sort of the way they would see it), so those 5 and 6d that find the organization a bit too crowded and competitive would go their own way.

Well, that makes sense.

How many years apart are those quotes? The way time and space work the Orion Empire could look very different in the span of 20 of our years, which could have been a long time for them or connect to another timeline/probability of them where the numbers have changed, or are different.

I think that 20 years is very little from the perspective of other densities.
