	== Special capabilities ==		== Special capabilities ==
			=== Shield dome capacity ===
			Each shield dome type ([[Small Shield Dome]], [[Large Shield Dome]], [[Planetary Dome]]) has its '''own''' build limit (built + queued). Capacity grows with [[Defense Yard]] level at about '''×1.6 per level''', then [[Shield Technology]] and [[Fortress Doctrine]] each add roughly '''+5% of that base per level'''.

			Examples (yard base only, before research):
			* Yard '''10''' → about '''110'''
			* Yard '''20''' → about '''12,000'''
			* Yard '''40''' → about '''146 million'''

			Late yards still sit well below the old trillion-scale curve; '''defense tonnage''' usually bites before the dome quantity cap on mid-game colonies.

= Defense Yard =
The '''Defense Yard''' constructs planetary defense installations designed to protect colonies from hostile fleets.

These facilities manufacture missile batteries, energy turrets, and automated defense platforms.

== Mechanics ==

* Enables construction of defensive structures.
* Higher levels unlock advanced defenses.
* Defense construction speed improves with upgrades.

== Lore ==
Colonial defense yards resemble fortified industrial complexes where heavy weapon platforms are manufactured and deployed across planetary surfaces.

Many worlds owe their survival to the relentless production of these facilities during times of war.

== Strategy ==
Defense Yards are crucial for securing important colonies, especially those producing valuable resources.
