[PvK]

I had a satellite defending a planet from capture by an entire fleet once. The satellite was on the wrong side of the planet to defend it from capture, but then the troop transport headed away to the corner behind the satellite, and got destroyed by the satellite.

Since the attacking player had been giving orders to pick up troops and proceed to the next colony, he ended up unintentionally glassing colonies he would otherwise have captured.
