Default Weapons that Capture Planets

Is there any way to make a weapon that acts equivalent to Boarding Parties or Allegiance Subverter, only it works against planets - that is, it initiates a ground combat as if it were a bunch of troops being dropped? If not, there should be - imagine Planetary Allegiance Subverters and Borg Planetary Nano-Assimilator Warheads!

The closest thing to this would be the Puppet Political Parties intel op. I'm pretty sure it can't be done with a component.

No there is not, but it would be cool. It would give us a way to mod in a unit that acted as a drop ship. Since units can't hold cargo now, that can't be done. Interesting idea there.

Or, What about subverters that worked on troops, against troops?

Every turn, a few of the ememy units/militia turn to your side

Cool! Or how about replacing the PPP intel op with one that converts a some of the population to your side in a popular uprising. Then combat occurs between your militia on one side and enemy militia + any troops on the other. If you're quick, you could get some of your own troops in to support the militia, or get a transport in and take away some of your new populaton.
