Default What\'s the Worst that could happen?

Hi folks its that time of year again when I just decided to randomly throw out a thread to see what's the absolute worst defeat you've ever suffered/inflicted during the course of your conquering the universe!

My worst "defeat" was back during an older game where I had massed 500 ships including 10 troop ships in a system in preperations for a push into enemy space. Well what I didn't think about then was that it's not a good idea to have a big navy rally point in a system that doesn't have:

1. A sphereworld
2. At least some spy sats

Because the very turn I divided up my ships into strike groups (this system led to three enemy systems btw) and was getting ready to go through the warp points on the next turn......my sun exploded!

Needless to say this hurt my expansion and nearly caused the collapse of my empire, now whether this was a Nova bomb or just a natural disaster I don't know but it sure was a pain.
