Useless. The Genesis Torpedo only neen be detonated 'near' the planet in question. The target planet won't even know it is there until it goes off.
"Near" = low orbit.
Orbital Difence Grids like those protecting the Cardasia are placed in an orbit approximately that of the moon, with a long range energy weapon increasing the field of fire.
The Genesis torpedo, while more practical than a DeathStar, would not give ST the edge.
