The one ship you lost in the Last battle was one of:
1) Your most experienced one.
2) Your repair ship.
3) The stellar manipulation ship the rest of your fleet was there to protect.
4) The minesweeper that would have saved your fleet from the minefield it entered after the battle, and was annihilated.
5) Your troop transport, causing your fleet to wipe out your own defenseless population on the planet you were trying to re-capture.

The planet that just rebelled was your primary troop barracks.

-Your ally detonates a star in an enemy system. The enemy system you just sent your fleet, complete with two years worth of troop production, to capture.

You capture a planet with troops, and then, in a momentary lapse of memory, promptly use a Tectonic Bomb on it to "get rid of the buggers for good!".

(The AI actually does this in MOO3! )
