Base shipyard time. Defenses share the shipyard queue, so Shipyard and Nanite Factory levels apply.
Requirements

Every one of these must be met before Plasma Turret can be ordered.
How each race builds it
The four races share the same defense rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.
Terran Plasma Turret
A conventional defense node designed for dependable layered protection.
Prism Plasma Turret
Defense architecture built to bend incoming fire into layered shield fields.
Carapace Plasma Turret
Static defense bioform grown to absorb punishment and punish close approaches.
Grid Plasma Turret
Predictive defense node linked into machine targeting networks.
