'''Dead Orbit''' | '''Dead Orbit''' is one of the factions of the [[Guardians|Guardians of the City]].

==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
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 [[vault]]s 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 [[Guardian]]s to their cause in order to fight against any future threats.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> | 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 it is unknown how much of a fleet Dead Orbit has developed but what they have, they reluctantly allow the Consensus and Vanguard make use of it for defensive purposes. | |||

Now setting up a recruiting stand in the Hanger of the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|new Tower]], Dead Orbit hopes to recruit enough Guardians to impress the Consensus so they can provide the resources to refit the Dead Orbit fleet and leave to find a new home. | ||

Members of Dead Orbit and its Arachs follow a grim, fatalistic even nihilistic code where the only hope for civilization is to leave Earth and find a new home. Such beliefs are recorded in a tome called '''The Book of Departure.''' | |||
