How are planets defended in Star Trek?

[BohandiAnsoid]

I think there were some mentions of planetary defense systems in Star Trek, but I cannot exactly understand this. So, can anyone explain to me how defending planets work in Star Trek?

No. It will change from writer to writer, series to series.

Starships. Space stations. Orbital weapons. The usual SF tropes as the plot demands.

Planetary Shields over highly populated Planets erected with a Orbital Satelite Shield Network that can fire back at any attackers.

Many StarBases within said Star System carrying Fighter Wings & Small StarShips ready to fight as needed.

Strongly worded emails.
