Description
I am at war with the race that owns the planet. I try to bombard it to nothing and the combat ended after 5 seconds. I then tried to land troops on the planet but the combat ended after 5 seconds with no troop deployment. I looked at the planet and noticed that it had 0 population. I tried then to colonize the planet but could not. I currently have no treaties with any empire. I am attaching my saved game and if you need anything else let me know.
I've seen the same bug.
I've seen the same bug. Work-around: Just keep re-attacking the planet's hex. Since your ship's tactical position persists, you'll make 5 seconds' more progress per fight. IIRC, it takes about 6 attacks (30 seconds total flight time) to get close enough to launch your troops.
Amusing: When you finally do fight the ground combat, the AI gets 1 militia (even with population 0).

Work around
I was able to hit the planet in question with an anti-planet drone and destroy the facilities and then colonize it.
