An object in orbit does not need to be "powered." Gravity acts as the force to maintain circular/elliptical motion. For example, you don't need to "power" the moon for it to stay in orbit.

Originally, someone in this thread asked for descriptions of the 7 Campiones. A certain person gave impressions off the top of their head and used "1800 years old", possibly in a figurative sense, but the description stuck. Until Volume 14 came along.

The Japanese approximated the word phonetically using アルトス which can be transliterated variously as Altos, Artos, Artus, etc. Artus is the Old English form of Arthur, so that was what I picked initially to make the link obvious. However, once the bear connection became explicit, spelling it "Artos" (the Celtic word for "bear") would be more appropriate.
In practice, I doubt that there is any significant difference in actual pronunciation.
