A few other uses of Orion in fiction that I am aware of:
The Ship 'Michael' (as in avenging angel) from Footfall (Again by Niven and Pournelle).
And the ship from Orion shall rise by Paul Anderson.
A CBC Miniseries featuring a (faked) Orion derived interstellar ark supposedly launched in the 60's and the people that have been living on it for almost 40 years.

I think it was from SyFy. It was so bad it could only be SyFy. Could be a good murder mystery, if it were not ruined by the whole fake ship idea.
- vhodges 4y agoYes, it was on SyFy, but was a CAD co-production so aired on CBC here.
- RajT88 4y agoThis one I believe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension_(miniseries) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension_(miniseries) You have to rate a show like this relatively if you are watching on a network filled with crap. It was not bad for a SyFy show! > Could be a good murder mystery, if it were not ruined by the whole fake ship idea. Not quite what you are thinking, but you may enjoy Aniara: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7589524/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7589524/
