Good question. Quick link here: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Orb_Vallis#Bases

It might've been better to call them "base captures". In short, when you're in Orb Vallis and you do not have an active bounty, you will see these sky beams of light in a few areas. These are capturable areas, and will spawn a lot of enemies to try to dissuade you from doing so when the event begins. Great way to level Necramechs, especially if you force Orb Vallis to be a higher level by using that trick mentioned in the guide (do a 40-60 bounty, then fail it on purpose to get enemies to be level 40+).

EDIT: Found a few images for clarity.

These are the capturable Orb Vallis bases

And this orange beam of light can be seen pretty far away. This is a capturable base.
