There was only one ship in orbit in "Independence Day", the mother ship.
All of the other ships that detached from the mother ship, the daughter

between the mother ship and the daughter ships on the opposite side of
the planet.


Some invaders. They couldn't invade a race that hadn't progressed to
the satellite stage yet.
