Abstract: The goal of this paper is to show there is a single orbit of the c.e. sets with inclusion, $ \mathcal{E}$, such that the question of membership in this orbit is $ \Sigma^1_1$-complete. This result and proof have a number of nice corollaries: the Scott rank of $ \mathcal{E}$ is $ \omega_1^{{CK}}+1$; not all orbits are elementarily definable; there is no arithmetic description of all orbits of $ \mathcal{E}$; for all finite $ \alpha \geq 9$, there is a properly $ \Delta^0_\alpha$ orbit (from the proof).
