====== Defenses ======

Planetary defense units ("defenses") are constructed in [[raumschiffwerft|shipyards]] on the surface of a [[planet|planet]] or [[mond|moon]] to defend it against attacking [[flotte|fleets]].

When under attack, defenses are assisted by any allied [[schiffe|ships]] or [[flotte|fleets]] in orbit.

[[abfangrakete|Interceptors]] ("Araks"((From abfangrakete, literally meaning interception rocket.))) are also defensive units but are only used to destroy incoming enemy [[interplanetarrakete|Interplanetary missiles]] ("Iraks"((From interplanetarrakete, literally meaning interplanetary rocket.)) or "IPMs") which in turn can only be used against defense units.

Unlike [[gebaeude|buildings]], defenses do not occupy the finite fields of a [[planet|planet]] and can be built without limit.((Limit 1 Small Shield Dome and 1 Large Shield Dome per planet.))

Unlike [[schiffe|ships]], defenses cannot move and therefore cannot be [[flottensicherung|saved]].

After an attack (whether win, loss, or draw), __70% of destroyed defense units are instantly rebuilt.__\\
It might take multiple attack waves to reduce an enemy's defenses enough to start winning battles.\\
