Seems to me MM could change the coding to allow any race to own a "colonized planet" with zero population by simply depositing some of its population there.

The planet is empty, so there is nothing to oppose another race from taking it over.

Not only that, but there is a bug in simultaneous turn games where you can't even capture a colony with no population with troops. The troop ship will simply run for the corner. It's like it doesn't recognize the enemy colony is there or something. In tactical combat though it is possible to capture.
