Things you will find in sun's orbit:
Fleets - Any number of fleets can be in orbit at the same time. The green example here is for one of the player's fleets with empty troop carriers. The 1040 is the tonnage of the fleet. The player's federation heraldry would appear to the right of the empire's heraldry if available.
Beacon - Used by a player to broadcast information to other players. Beacons can be positioned on the System Map at specific orbits; star, world or moon. Beacon messages are preset, but players can include empire name and contact information are part of the message.

Wormhole - Located in orbit and used to travel from wormhole across space to unpredictable locations.
