But the Cardassians probably would try to spark a war between the Ittika-Ka and the Gorn to cause more trouble for the Federation.

The Emporions are intelligent lichens? Or humanoids who did something bad to their planet?
You appear to be assuming there's "war" and "anti-war" factions of the Gorn, but my read of last year's report is that both Florists and Reclaimers would very much like to claim the mantle of conquerers.
The difference is that for the Florists, this is merely to place them in a stronger position for bargaining for an alliance with a great power, while for the Reclaimers it would be step one to becoming a Great Power.
Note also that it's not so much that we are backing the Florists and the Cardassians are backing the Reclaimers. Rather, we and the Cardassians are competing over the Florists, while the Reclaimers aren't interested in an alliance with either of us.
Any alliance with the Reclaimers would be an alliance of convenience that will be upheld only so long as it's convenient for them.
The Florists we can talk with, but unless we can break them of several fairly important cultural assumptions we're going to have a lot of trouble with the Gorn down the line if we try to integrate them into the Federation.

I do kind of like the idea that they misplaced their original planet. It's still around somewhere and probably still ok? Just, well, there's a lot of stars in the sky, you know?

That was actually implied as a possibility in the log - it was mentioned that a supernova screwed up the subspace trade route the place used to be on.

Another possibility is a long dark age ended by the discovery of some key resource or the rediscovery of some key tech, or by alien traders first coming upon the system and kicking off the Age of Emporion, as opposed to the age of 'scratching out an existence in a marginally habitable star system.'

I've actually got a little mental box full of TBG spinoff ideas.
One is: "This *is* An Empire Quest: An Orion Space Princess Quest, that is "in which the Eternal Empire fleet is woken up at an earlier point:
[ ] 1500: Big mess, everything still on fire, remnants of the Empires around
[ ] 1900: New societies emerging, very militant, but divided
[ ]2300: Federation exists, Peaceful but unified.
And the players vote on which of the Imperial Princesses were in command of the fleet, and the type of fleet.
Hayant was the Navy Princess with a maxed Combat fleet. But there would be options for her other sisters:
[ ] Liberal Scholar Princess, good at think, good at adapting, bad at fite and talk
[ ] Charismatic Libertine Dilettante Princess. Average at a surprising number of things, good at talk, bad at fite
[ ] Cyaug Aerocommando All Facepunch Princess. VERY GOOD AT FITE AND NOT DIE. Good at lead, bad at talk and think.
[ ] Hayant, good at fight, think, and talk. Not very flexible
Fleet make up point by from things like:
[ ] Colony ship options with civilians, workers, artists, And others.
[ ] Industrial and resource ship options,
[ ] more/less ground forces,
[ ] more/less Navy resources,
[ ] the cream of the Imperial Universities in cryo trays
[ ] SO MANY SLAVES YOU GUYS

Interesting! Wake up in 2300 and race the Federation to conquer Orion before they affiliate and head off in a direction like Ferasa/Daiwar/Risa or Indoria and establish a resource base.
I have no idea what the space-1900s or 1500s looked like. No Federation, so presumably easier to go Military.

So I'm going to assume at least one option would be trying to ally with the federation. Lots of support and strong allies. But you're now in a culture war as you try and stop them from resolving those slavery 100 tags in a way damaging to Orion culture.

Yikes. Apparantly someone decided Orion pirates could destroy wholeplanets and build their own Dyson spheres:
Early in Orion history, Orion pirates sometimes destroyed whole inhabited planets simply because they weren't economically viable. They would then use the fragments to construct Dyson spheres and then populate the vast area with slave labor.[12]

Wholeplanets- because obviously the Dyson sphere superstructure won't hold together if made with regular low-fibre milled planets.

Ouch. That'd be Super Hard Mode- they'd have Vegan Powers.I want the 1900 start and the Vegian Tyranny bouncing around theVegaSol Sector.
Im imagining a 1500 a bit like the first Homeworld where you start on a journey back to homespace collecting forces along the way, but instead arrive at Orion to find its been scoured clean by atompshere deprivation bombs. Then its time to fite Konan the Klingon barbarian, and Lord Gornmungous for control of the space wasteland.

What is this I don't even ....
The only dysons in Star Trek were from civs way up the tech totem pole from TNG era feds.
Random ass pirates having the ability to make one? Lolno.
Planetbusting isn't actually that hard with Star Trek tech IF the target can't intercept at all. You've got inertia and mass manipulation tricks, throwing relativistic asteroids is very much an option.

When throwing together some background for my "At Last The 2235 Game!" concept, I put together a few things and concluded that the
I didn't develop the actual internal governance or culture of the Vegians much; they're just the "lilac biowar survivor people" who found it a mix of frustrating and ironic that Earthlings were cheerfully colonizing what was once their sphere of influence before they self-destructed.
We ignore almost everything from the Orion beta canon for a reason
