Are you talking about colonized worlds? I never quite found the troops needed to conquire a homeworld or breathable that is full to the brim with population.
I am pretty sure he is talking about colonies as he mentioned "non-breathable".
As far as capturing a full homeworld, a medium transport should do it. 200-300 small troops with level three weapons ought to be able to take care of the militia on a medium sized homeworld. The large ones might take 400, which I think will still fit in one medium transport. Unless the enemy has taken the time to build a lot of troops of his own. That can make it much more difficult.
