Try this ability instead:

Ability 1 Type := Planet - Shield Generation
Ability 1 Descr := Constructs 3000 pts of armor for the planet during combat.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 3000

but if I do that wont I just get a shield on the planet (anti shield weapons and weapons that go through shields will still work) or am I missing something?

Hmm, emissive ability on a planet... that's clever! I wonder if it will work... that could be an an alternate way of making glassing a planet harder!

(I_DONT_CARE, emissive ability does not generate additional hitpoints, despite its description in Abilities.txt - it actually reduces the damage of each incoming attack by the specified number of points, so in your case the planet would be immune to anything doing 3000 damage or less, and an attack doing 4000 damage (good luck finding one ) would actually do 1000 damage.)
