Podcast Overview

Welcome aboard the Orriona—where the galaxy is queer-norm, found families are forged in the fire, and hope burns brightest in the darkest corners of the void. ORRIONA is a multi-voice audio drama series that weaves cinematic sci-fi action with deeply personal character journeys. No coming-out angst. No homophobia. Just grand space adventures where queer love and friendship are as natural as starlight. THE STORY SO FAR: When High Priestess Nienna's ceremonial fleet is ambushed by an ancient enemy, her last surviving Warden witnesses a desperate sacrifice that rewrites the timeline itself. Meanwhile, the sentient starship Orriona—after centuries of exile—receives her old friend's distress call and races to mount a rescue. But she can't do it alone. Her search for a crew leads to Edgepoint Station, a decaying frontier outpost where misfits become family: a disgraced pilot searching for his father's ghost ship, a con artist with dangerous skills and buried secrets, a theatrical medic duo fleeing their past, an engineer haunted by what she's lost, and the last Warden of a murdered High Priestess. Together, they'll chase stolen artifacts across the galaxy, uncover conspiracies that threaten the foundations of civilization, and discover that the strongest shields aren't made of technology—they're built from trust, loyalty, and love. WHAT TO EXPECT: Ensemble cast with rich character dynamics Found family at the heart of every story Ancient mysteries and impossible stakes Slow-burn romance woven through the action Cinematic sound design and original score Episodes released weekly CONTENT NOTES: Space-battle peril, occasional violence, grief, telepathy/mental pressure. No homophobia or queerphobia of any kind. CURRENT SEASON: LEGACY (Book One of the Orriona Universe) Created by A.X.

Sleep came in fragments. Each time he closes his eyes, the explosion replays—the <strong>Belloros </strong>vaporized in a clean, cold analysis from his tactical display.</p><p>Twenty-four hours ago, he was running card games on Level 9.</p><p>Now luxury surrounds him. A contract promising credits. Academy patronage. A future.</p><p>Eight years ago, that would have set his heart racing.</p><p>Now it feels like contamination. The kind of feeling meant for alleys and abandoned corridors, where sharp edges fit the frontier's landscape. Here, surrounded by abundance, it feels wrong.</p><p>He would deal with it later. On the <strong>driftline</strong>. Where he always dealt with everything.</p><p>But the Orriona's showers aren't the thirty-second sonic rations of <strong>Edgepoint</strong>. Hot water cascades over his shoulders—a luxury bordering on reverence. And in that private moment, something breaks.</p><p>The Belloros explosion. The targeting solution. The choices made in fractions of a second.</p><p>His chest heaves. The pressure building until each breath requires conscious effort. The compartmentalization he's maintained for years cracks open, and he can't hold it back.</p><p>After the water stops, voices drift from the galley. Kellan's laugh.

Deep bruises from the hangar firefight throb across her shoulders and back—ducking behind crates, disarming a gravity mine under fire, bolting up the Orriona's ramp with plasma bolts sizzling past her head.</p><p>She's alive. The bruises are proof.</p><p>But now she's awake in Quarters One aboard a sentient starship. A private bathroom with an actually functioning shower. A workbench equipped with tools she's only seen in technical journals. Clothes without burn marks or worn edges.</p><p>It feels like someone else's life.</p><p>For fifty years, Val has survived on the frontier with Jotter at her side—her constant companion, the keeper of her family's legacy. Fifty years of taking the hardest jobs, the most desperate contracts, always choosing the path that led further from anything that looked like home.</p><p>She left behind expectations she couldn't meet. A mother who wanted her to design starships, not fix broken ones. A family legacy of advanced engineering theory when all she wanted was to work with her hands.</p><p>Now she stands in quarters that belong on an IMZ luxury cruiser, looking at a reflection she barely recognizes.</p><p>The engineer who improvises repairs with salvaged parts. The woman who's spent decades keeping broken things running against impossible odds. Someone who learned long ago that comfort like this isn't meant for people like her.</p><p>But the Orriona chose her. Gave her a workbench that's never known desperate fixes. Gave her tools without the scars of a thousand emergency repairs.</p><p>In eight hours, they reach the Axrathan derelict. A mission that will require everything she knows about bio-mechanical systems and ancient technology.</p><p>The question waiting in the mirror is simpler, and infinitely harder: Does she deserve to be here?
