The Orbit alliance was started mid-round 14, when 3 small alliances decided to get together and take on the big boys. These alliances were: Unforgiven Sin, European Legion, and Liberators. Originally, the_powwer was supposed to be a part of Orbit and in the first stages of name thinking, it was PULSE - Powwer Unforgiven Liberators Sin European-legion. But after the_powwer was no longer a part and the HCs of each alliance consulted, a consensus was made on the point that during a merge, we should leave our pasts behind, hence Orbit.

The alliance finished 12th in its first round (R14, mainly due to Stane and Williams) and in the following Havoc round broke into the top 10, finishing 8th.

Near the end of round 14, the alliance had an internal conflict and came close to falling apart. However, due to the labours of some of the hardcore members (namely Xcel, GeenPorem, Ron7684, Brug and Phrazer), Orbit rose again in round 15 ready to return to the battlefield.

By Round 16, all of these HCs except Phrazer and hopefully Brug (should he ever return) had either parted ways with Orbit, or left to gain experience in the larger and more powerful alliances of Planetarion. As a result, a number of other trusted BCs moved up the promotion ladder to fill their places: DarkYoshi, Ionferno and Ptraci.

Round 16 HCs were the so called "schexy gf" Phrazer, "scanneriffic" DarkYoshi, "ex-whore" Ionferno and "schexy" Ptraci.

R17 sees Orbit take to the battlefield once more with hopes of closing the gap on the top 10!! Also, Breakoff alliances Insurrection and Myth were formed

Round 18 saw a significant change in Orbit's command struture, as Ptraci and Exothermic left to form the alliance Insurrection in the previous round. Although Orbit struggled for a bit to deal with this heavy loss, they were eventually successful, and a new command team was born. This team consisted of: Ashka, DarkYoshi, Phrazer, Brug, Masta_Mark, and a new promotion from DC; Magistar, another original member of Orbit. Orbit finished in 17th this round

Round 19 saw another change in Orbit's structure/policy. Phrazer took the round off from HC duty and returned to being a normal soldier for Orbit's Navy. Brug took the round off due to conflicts with his military schedule. That left Masta, Yoshi, and Magi to pick up the slack. To do this, they enlisted the help of Crowly, a new but exciting member of Orbit. During round 19, Orbit began to realize its true potential. Recruitment conditions were changed from that of a training alliance to one of a contender. As a giant help to troop morale, in the beginning Masta awoke to find 17 incoming waves fleetcatching him. With little assistance, he obliterated the incoming fleets and was vaulted into the top 30. Near 3/4 of the way through the round, the battle team of Masta and Crowly came up with a daring plan: The two alliances that broke away from Orbit, Insurrection and Myth, formed a NAP with each other. In order to remind them where they came from, Orbit launched a massive offensive on the two alliances. Within a week, both had dropped several places, and Orbit was nearing the Top 10 (highest rank was 12, ended at 13) this being the high point of Orbit's round, the rest of the round was spent having fun, and celebrating the returning of some former Insurrection and Myth members.
