They were, and they chased the Eternal right over Orb.

And I remember the transport ships were not the Nazca class ones (dont fully remember though, all I know was that there were orbital ships dropping in the MS drop pods)

I don't remember seeing that. The only ones I remember using a drop pod were the Dom Troopers.

Either way that was a special fleet ordered to find and destroy the Eternal, that had chased them from the factory and colony. It wasn't the regular patrol fleet that area.

There wouldn't be any regular patrol fleet close to Earth because it would raise the attention of the lunar forces, so those ships chasing the Eternal were the closest ZAFT forces to Orb in space at that time.
