Colony defense

Colony defense involves strategies and systems used to protect a group of inhabitants—such as a space station, planet settlement, or animal colony—from external threats like predators, enemies, or environmental hazards. It includes physical barriers, surveillance, weapon systems, and organized security measures to detect, deter, and respond to dangers, ensuring the safety and stability of the colony. Effective defense balances technology, planning, and quick response to maintain the colony’s integrity and allow its residents to thrive.
