How exactly does the Abandon Planet Option Work?

Just curious what that little button does. Do I need ships, or do they just pack up and leave?

I believe the population must be under 50.

The population on a planet must be less than the limit in SETTINGS.TXT in order for it to work. So this, too, can be changed like so many other things.

Maximum Population for Abandon Planet Order := 10

I never thought about it befor.
Does the population "evaporate" or dose it show up on a different planet?

When using abandon planet your population, if UNDER The allowable level, they just disappear. If you have any facilities, you are asked if you want to scrap them. If you say YES then all facilities AND ANY UNITS ON THE PLANET are destroyed. It is no longer a colony. If you say no then population is zeroed but all facilities AND UNITS remain on planet. Note: the planet is still considered a colony in this case!

That generates another thought.

If I move population to a transport
Then abandon a planet
Will it get rid of a Plague?
