The orion/reptilian systems function by suppressing autonomy at the individual and group level to form a pyramid hierarchy. The primary method of suppressing it is fear, with added dashes of deception via information control. The reptilian empire is ruled by fear and you go further up the chain by internalizing suppression of fear by directing it into anger and inflicting it on others in an organized and methodical fashion.
When orion and reptilian systems intersect they have found alliances with each other. They can't meaningfully intersect which humanoid systems as is without suppressing and destroying normal communal bonds. Leadership nodes in humanoid systems have a greater degree and depth of connections - it's not a pyramid even if there is centralization. The depth in leadership node relationships comes in part from allowed individual and group autonomy that scales into organizational autonomy. Love and compassion are allowed and encouraged in humanoid systems in ways that aren't found in the reptilian system (they despise love). You can be a worker in a humanoid system and have dignity, in the reptile system you always want to be a manager.
Both have leadership and subordinate nodes but the social network structure is quite different. Just because both govern resource extraction/distribution doesn't mean they are equivalent. If there was equivalency the galaxy would have formed a giant blob already - they are different ways of life. The process for communication and coordination are quite different in each system.
The only place that there is real commonality is deference to the godhead and people who can communicate with it. In comes the challenge of humans. Humans can incoherently run a range of frequencies beyond most lifeforms due them being seeded as DNA banks. As they become more capable of integrating these frequencies they bridge them. This process is currently used as an unaware, subconscious bridge but as they become conscious and their capability rises they will be more capable of rulership, not mere mediation. This presents a challenge to all currently existing systems in the galaxy.
There is no moral equivalency between this new system and the old ones either. The alien systems have blinded themselves with the belief that everything that can be invented has been - they are blind to what the godheads are doing in front of them the same as humans are blind to what aliens engineer on timescales beyond their current awareness.
