Yeah Star Trek does it more similar to OPs post. Orbital SD networks integrated into L2 stations that also act as ready 5 fleetyards and active patrol groups. Not even Core worlds in SW had rudimentary defenses to stop a slow ass artillery strike from a planet sized canon lmao. And that’s decades after the Trade Federation conducted a full invasion of the system where they could’ve thought “hmmm maybe we should put up some defenses around our capital world”.
