We identify the untwisted moduli of heterotic orbifold compactifications for the case where the gauge twist is realized by a rotation. The Wilson lines are found to have both continuous and discrete parts. For the case of the standard Z 3 orbifold we classify all possibilities of breaking the gauge group E(6) ⊗ SU (3) by nine of the eighteen Wilson moduli and by additional discrete Wilson lines.
