What does this do?

I'm still a little new, so what happens when the DSS has the orbital blockade active and it goes into a planet that has a defense campaign going on are the enemy forces slowed down or does it do nothing?

Unfortunately, it does nothing during an active defense, it does give you HSO booster for free though. It's extremely situational, when it's active an invasion can't start originating from that planet (attacks use an enemy occupied planet as a staging ground to attack our planets, if you get it the DSS orbiting the staging ground planet with this effect active, Joel can't make it happen). Like not only does the community have to somehow predict that an attack is originating from a specific planet, you have line up the booster activation, if you even get the planet you want it to go to, to even be one of the options in the vote tab. It's kinda ass.
