An example of a planetary defense system
A planetary defense system is a system of defense platforms and countermeasures to protect a planet.
The Echo Papa 607 weapon system of Minos could act as an effective planetary defense system, repelling land-based or orbiting invaders. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom")
In early 2367, a Borg cube en route to Earth encountered such a system in orbit of Mars, dubbed the Mars Defense Perimeter. It was easily dispatched by the cube. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")
When Deep Space Nine space station was taken over from the Cardassians by the Federation in 2369, the station itself became a planetary defense system for Bajor, and one of its main obligations was to protect the planet from hostile attacks. (DS9: "Emissary")
During the Dominion War (2373 - 2375), the Cardassians had developed an orbital weapons platform system, to protect undefended regions of their space, such as the Chin'toka system. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets)
The planetary defense system of Earth, in 2375, was not strong enough to hold back the surprise Breen attack that occurred. Their ships inflicted considerable damage on Starfleet Headquarters. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
