Orbital bombardment was a military tactic that consisted of bombing a celestial body from its orbit.
During their invasion of Islos, the Dalek Restoration Empire bombed the planet from orbit after the invading fleet had destroyed the orbiting weapons platforms. (WC: The Archive of Islos)
When the Taalyens discovered Keska, they launched an orbital bombardment to try and render the Keskans extinct before the War Doctor reconfigured the sky transmitters into a planetary shield. (AUDIO: The Innocent)
At the end of the Last Great Time War, at the Fall of Gallifrey, the Dalek Fleet broke through the defences surrounding Gallifrey and began an orbital bombardment to destroy the Time Lord homeworld. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) When "all thirteen" incarnations of the Doctor shifted the planet into a pocket universe, the fleet destroyed itself in its own massive crossfire. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
In its invasion of Delta IV, the Borg-Cyberman Alliance opened with an orbital bombardment, a tactic that the Deltans noted was more aggressive than had come to be expected from the Borg. (COMIC: Assimilation²)
After Oswin Oswald deactivated the force field protecting the Dalek Asylum, the Parliament of the Daleks launched missiles which destroyed the planet. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)
When the Eleventh Doctor decoded the Question, he feared that the orbiting fleets would fire on Trenzalore from orbit to stop the return of the Time Lords. (TV: The Time of the Doctor) Following the New Dalek Paradigm's conquest of the Papal Mainframe, the Supreme Dalek ordered the Dalek fleet to commence an orbital bombardment of Trenzalore until its protective force field shattered. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
Alternate timelines
In an alternate timeline created by a temporal collision of the First and Second Doctor's TARDISes, the Black Dalek Leader ordered a brief orbital bombardment to be conducted on Urbinia when it detected that the people were attempting to evacuate the planet. (AUDIO: Daughter of the Gods)
