Planetary Defense Requirements and Costs

Soldiers are ground based personnel that defend the planet. They cost more to purchased on conquered planets. The maximum number of Soldiers that can be supported by any planet is up to 40% of the maximum population.

Planetary Defense Bases (PDB) are a mix of ground-based and space-based military assets that defend the planet. PDB can be additionally enhanced through alien artifacts and by gaining veteran status during combat. PDB require Soldiers instead of Personnel as a purchasing resource.
