I'm actually not sure they were called Orion bots. I'm thinking years and years ago... maybe they were called Omicron bots. I have terrible memory. Sorry for the false positive.
The bot I'm thinking of had a scrambled progs.dat so people couldn't disassemble it and steal code easily, and it navigated without waypoints really well for its time. The guy who wrote it got a good job in the industry because of it, apparently.
