Ok to avoid any more confusion i shall explain the exact working's of all systems of Planetary Defense and in ships [ie the Ingelstung and Loengren have caused some confusion]
Alright the Fission Cascade Gamma-x-ray emmiter is a reworked nuclear weapon. Essentially it releases several nuclear charges in to a Rail that creates a magnetic Field of great power. After this the Nuclear charges equal to about 200 mt are detonated. The Magnetic field holds the energy released in place for a few seconds. What is left over is vast amounts of X-rays and Gamma Rays. This is then concentrated out like a laser or other beam Weapon by creating a small hole in the front of the Field, then after the energy is realeased the Field is lowered and another 1-5 charges can be placed. [ingelstung is the same as the planetary defense mounts, except on the ships it is Spinal mount, Leongren is on a massive turret and can hold 1-10 charges] The Planetary defense make use of Mirrors deep in the pit [they are buried a km deep] to angle the beams in a V like cone. Each one is designed to overlap each other. This weapon at low power makes excellent Ortillery as well.
this should answer the questions on Planetary defense. They also use a magnetic field which Increases Air pressure overtop of the weapon when it is under fire as it diffuses beams and smashes missiles...they are hard to build and Very expensive, maybe their is 120 in all VC. otherwise we have plenty of Missiles.
Note as Tannelorn literally claims the entire southern icecap we dont use shields to defend them. instead they are hidden under the ice, and deep underground. They simply evaporate all of the ice over top of them when they fire, creating masses of steam which make targetting difficult, but due to the cold temp, they wind up covered by ice again very quickly.
Tannelorn only has 15 of them, and relies heavily on its fleet to due the job of defense. VC does not use innefficient Orbital Sattelite weapons as they are too easy for a fleet to destroy without taking a casualtie [simply fire missiles one them till they are gone] unless they are supported by a fleet. [costly in defense]
Now this should make things easier for RP and knowing just what is going on. Sunset, Bajon, Pilon, Ngen please post your orbital/planetarydefenses, what they are and how they work here so that we know...oh heck all of MIDAS please do the same.
