[[Image:OWP.jpg|thumb|right|An Orbital Weapons Platform<sup>1</sup>]]
'''Orbital Defense Platforms''' are orbiting Space Stations used by the [[Imperial Navy]] personne; personnel and [[Planetary Defense Force]]s for defense of a world against enemy spacecraft. They are deployed within a planets or moon's gravity well and are armed with a variety of weapons. The most sophisticated Orbital Defense Platforms, those used to defense [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] worlds and key planets, have no crew at all and use complex logic engines to detect and fire at enemy vessels which do not broadcast the correct identification codes.<sup>1</sup>
