When I destroyed my enemy, I got their remaining planets. I noticed that those planets had resource generation facilities on them but no space ports. Does'nt that mean that those resources they were gathering were not available to their empire? Why would they do that?

Surelly the race had the "Natural Merchants" racial trait.

There could be a spaceport, but you destroyed it.
