A Planetary defense grid is an automated weapons system used to defend planets using unmanned defense platforms.

They are usually equipped with very powerful munitions such as missiles and high-energy weapons to destroy attacking warships.

Earth's Defense Grid[]

Earth's planetary defense grid is comprised mostly of Aegis orbital defence platforms. During the Liberation of Earth, President Morgan Clark vengefully turned the planetary defense platforms against the Earth with a Scorched Earth attempt when it was obvious he had lost. Sheridan's forces managed to destroy the platforms before they could fire.[1]

By 2267, Earth had rebuilt its defense grid and it came into action once again in the attempt to stop the few remaining Drakh ships as they poisoned Earth with a biogenetic plague developed by their former masters, the Shadows. [2]

Centauri Prime's Defense Grid[]

In late 2262, Centauri Prime's planetary defense grid was shut down just as a large fleet led by the Narn and the Drazi approached the planet. Then-Regent Milo Virini was influenced to do so by his Drakh Keeper. [3]
