Meaning of the DEFEND Planet's Indicators?

[Wilsolar]

Hello fellow divers. What do the two bars represent that appear below the planets which are labeled DEFEND?

Top blue bar is our progress, if this fills before the other bar we win, otherwise we lose planet.
Bottom red bar is enemy progress. pretttttty sure this is just the duration til the defense is up, but it might count losses too, cuz people don't press the buttons in escort missions lol.

I've been wanting know what these two indicator bars mean too.

@McFuzz: I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to say my friend. The red bar is enemy progress and duration and maybe losses because people aren't pressing buttons during the escort missions..I apologize if I seem obtuse, this is not my intention.
Now, regarding the blue bar you mentioned..are you talking about the blue overall sector progress bar in the top left corner or where can find this blue indicator bar?
There's a pale red(ish) bar on top and an orange on the bottom which are visible when viewing a sector. The two indicators, that the OP is asking about aren't blue. The only thing blue about any of these elements are their blue opaque background..so at least for me, none of these two planet defend specific bars are remotely blue for me.

Anyway this begs the question...why in the hell implement UI elements which are suppose to communicate important information to the players, without also including descriptors for the damn things?! -_-

Isn't the red bar only progressing when we fail a mission though?

Fill top bar by completing missions before the timer (24 hours) expires.

Bottom bar is a visual representation of how much time remains. Like an hour glass.
