Dead Orbit is one of the factions of the Guardians of the City. Dead Orbit grudgingly maintains a presence in the Tower to equip their champions in the Crucible.[1] "Superb" technicians and specialists work for the group.[2] The leaders of Dead Orbit are called Arachs.[3]
Members of Dead Orbit intend to escape an already dying Earth before the Darkness's return, as they've given up on the Traveler and put little faith in the City's ability to hold out against a major attack. While they recognize that such a move could be very costly in terms of lives, they see no other alternative for survival, and instead put their faith in finding enough Golden Age technology in vaults and abandoned shipyards to allow them to escape and find a new homeworld. They are even willing to cross New Monarchy's legal authority to achieve this end, but they also recognize they will need to bring Guardians to their cause in order to fight against any future threats.[1]
