You can send forces to help your allies and buddies defend their world. On the Galaxy page look for the chain link icon on the right side of the screen under the Actions Column. Selecting that will pull up a "Choose Ships for Fleet" window in which you can select the size of the force you wish to send as aid. You can also select how long that fleet will actively orbit your friend's planet (limited to one-hour increments, up to 24 hours) before moving back home, as well as how quickly the fleet will fly there and back - if an attack is not imminent then selecting a slower fleet speed could save hydrogen fuel.
From your own fleet menu you can also recall the Group Defending fleet at any time. (Doing so during its orbital period will result in the fleet beginning its voyage home immediately.)
A maximum of 6 fleets may participate in a Group Defend. This means a group defender may have 6 players join the planet for a group defend. This is the defender plus 6 fleets, making 7 defending fleets.
This is the defensive counterpart to Group Attack.
Players' differing battle techs (weapons/armor/shields) effect on the battle outcome is currently an unanswered question.
Note: Ships present at a planet during a Group Defend mission's orbital period will combat against any incoming attacks, INCLUDING those launched by the Group Defend fleet's owner and/or their allies and/or their buddies.
