We present special classes of orientifold models involving supersymmetry breaking via branes at angles. Type II superstring theories are compactified on a two torus times a four-dimensional orbifold. Combining worldsheet parity with a reflection of half of the compact coordinates leads to D6-branes at angles which are mapped onto each other by the orbifold group, while applying the geometric action only along one coordinate leads to intersecting D8-branes with non-trivial transformation properties under the orbifold group. The models differ in the gauge groups and matter content.
