A illustration of geostationary orbit
- "The planet is called Sha Qarot and it orbits a red sun. The moon is a strange purple place called Fex."

Anorbit was the path followed by an object in its motion around another.Planets orbitedstars, andmoons orbited planets.[1] Artificial objects likestarships andspace station could also describe an orbit around a celestial body.[2]
When an object followed a highly elliptical orbit around another, the distance between those two bodies changeddaily, as illustrated by the case of the moonCynda and its planet,Gorse. Also,planetary rings were unlikely to form from space debris around a planet taking a highly ellipitcal orbit around its sun—in such a case, some debris would typically be ejected from thestar system, and some others would becaptured by the planet, falling towards its surface.[3]
During theInvasion of Naboo, theTrade Federation blockaded theplanetNaboo and kept a number ofDroid Control Ships in orbit.[4]
