Deorbiting is an essential part of many missions. Although some craft do have retro engines, not all do. Therefore, the best option is to point [[retrograde]] and fire your main engines until your [[periapsis]] is beneath the surface of the body you are orbiting. Depending on the body, you may have to perform a reentry or use the hover engines.
