The units are the 'armor' and the population/facilities are the internal components.

But it is not easy to kill population on homeworld that absorb damage ! Given low damage of NSC, SB is a monster.
BTW, why do you think NSC skips weapon platforms and units ?? In all my tests NSC happily attack units before proceeding to civilians ! Even when I tried to attack undefended homeworld with NSC cruiser, in 30 turns it managed to kill only 40M people without damaging ANY structure. It took only 13 turns for the same cruiser to drop shields and wipe out homeworld clean ! No, NSC is fire cracker compared to SB.
