The T.O. Harvester was an NPC originally Introduced in the Thanksgiving 2010 Event.
The 2010 Captured T.O. Harvesters are therefore no longer available. (The 2010 Captured T.O. Harvesters can continue to be used if you have one in your cargo)

[Size: 2, Mining: 2, Artifact: 1, Population: 300, Limit: 1]

The T.O. Harvester NPC returned for the Thanksgiving 2011 event. The NPC was once again a Rank-Matched NPC. However the "Captured T.O. Harvester that was dropped had improved stats over the 2010 version, giving an added 1 Mining and 140 Population.

It should be noted that even though the 2010 and 2011 versions of this item use the same name and the same Image, they are NOT the same Item, and will NOT stack together. 2010 T.O. Harvesters will only ever give the 2010 Stats, while 2011 T.O. Harvesters will only ever give the 2011 stats. The only way to tell the two structures apart is to Mouse Over them and check their bonuses.

(The 2011 Captured T.O. Harvesters can continue to be used if you have one in your cargo)

Provides 5000 planet defense.

The Planetary Aegis is a one-time artifact obtained when joining the game. Only one is available per player. Once used, you will not receive another one, even if you reset your account.

Note: if one of your planets is under attack, it may be better to use a Planet Flux instead of your Planetary Aegis. The Aegis lasts for 5 days, and it is perfectly possible for a high-level player to break through even this powerful shield and invade your planet. Fluxing the planet removes it from ALL other players scans, preventing them from continuing their attacks and invading. Note that it is possible for people to re-scan the planet again at a later date, however. Building cloak satellite structures on the planet will reduce the chances of the planet being found by other players after it has been fluxed. However, weapons and shield systems are significantly more space-efficient than cloaking systems. It may actually be better to defend your planet well than to try to hide it.

Note: Only 1 module can be activated at a time.
