Shortly after returning to New Orleans, and with a slight lineup change, alias:orion changed direction completely. Instead of the simpler radio friendlier songs, alias:orion began to develop universes for their records to exist within.

The StarDuster Saga, alias:orion's three act epic of intergalactic travel and championing, tells the compelling and very complicated tale of fighting a war that cannot be won.

The latest addition to the alias:orion library of explosively engaging records, the Assembly, a chronicling of an aritifical intelligence's conception and self realization, speaks to the human spirit in terms as triumphant as they are defeating.
