Planetary Depot / Support units for Defensive Ops?

Defensive support item added to a planet.
Resupply Cache (similar to fighter storage depots)
PGB style unit with less or no weapons and stores for Barracks/Troops and/or Planetary Fighter storage.

Factors: either a Zero or One for attack (I show a 1 below)
1-3 [GG] cost = 4.0
1-3 [G] [3] cost = 4.5
1-3 [6] cost = 5.0

Cost Example = 2 (unit) + 1(G) + 1.5 [3 ftr]
(FFF may not be used?)

Maximum is limited but additive over PDU limit.
Mino/ +1
Major +2,
Minor Capital/Major Capital + 4

Added same methods to PGB/PDU.
Tug needed in Cap Hex = No; Outer worlds = yes, etc.

Cannot be placed on Allied planets.
Not a garrison unit on captured worlds (need a PDU to support ftrs/PF)
If only remaining unit (no ships or mobile units in hex; no PGBs) (orbital base with Ftrs count?)

Then resistance forces automatically destroy it. If only PGBs remain only defensive ground troops can be resupplied, no ftrs can be replenished to Starships or Orbital bases, these are planet fighters only.

Eng discount on structure only (-2) not in Capital. Eng can build two in one turn but only discount on first.

Hidden/Protected supplies: Cannot be target of DirDam unless last remaining PDUs (PWC can be combined if last PDU is also destroyed in attack). Can be targeted by G specific attack. Can be defensively guarded (die role modifier). Can be voluntarily given up in damage step same as PGB. If destroyed with fighters intact they are lost with no minus points generated and they cannot land or be moved anywhere as they were never activated.

Troop only version YIS avail 1 turn after PGB avail. (Or if SFB says otherwise?)
Ftrs resupply may be added to planet same YIS as Ftr Storage Depots tech is live.

At this point Defensive Operations is unlikely to ever be published because I have yet to see any way to balance it. Everything ever mentioned for DO would move the balance point an inch or three toward the defensive. This thing would be about two inches worth. From what I see the only reason to publish DO would be if I wanted to destroy the game system.
