Dead Orbit

Dead Orbit was one of the three Consensus factions of the Last City, led by Arach Jalaal. Its members believe humanity must leave Earth before the Darkness returns, having put their faith in the stars rather than the Traveler.

Overview

Dead Orbit's creed holds that the Traveler is not humanity's only salvation. After the Red War showed that threats are drawn to the Traveler, the faction stepped up recruitment and set up a stand in the Tower's Hangar, seeking Guardian support to secure resources for refitting its fleet. Lore-wise, the faction left the Last City during the Season of the Splicer.

Location

Arach Jalaal operates in the Hangar of the Tower.

Vendor

During a Faction Rally, Guardians pledge to the faction and turn in tokens to Arach Jalaal for a Dead Orbit Engram, which decrypts into faction gear. The Anti-Extinction armor set is Dead Orbit's Destiny 2 gear, and the faction's rally weapons include Haunted Earth (its first rally victory prize) and the Auto Rifle Hollow Earth. Its rivals are Future War Cult and New Monarchy.
