Mistaken in the deleted scene "Kirk Apologises to Green Girl" for Gaila, Imvi is not in fact Orion, but Koltaari. In the prime universe, the Koltaari are a technologically advanced but prewarp race, with no contact with the Federation prior to the twenty-fourth century. With the events that lead to the XI timeline, the Koltaari instead develop warp technology in order to ally their planet with others and guard against the invasion of the Klingon Empire, who treat Koltaari space as a testing ground of sorts for technology pilfered from the Narada and information extracted from her crew at Rura Penthe.
