Capturing planets w/troops?

I have also had all the troops disappear after a sucessful invasion. They're not on the planet, they're not on the transport...

Did you happen to leave enemy sat's or bases in orbit around the planet? If you conquer the planet with troops the sats/bases will turn their fire on it. Your troops will receive damage before any population or facilities on the planet.

This has happened to me a few times in tactical, but I could see what was going on, so I knew what happened. If you were playing in strategic I would imagine it would not be so obvious.
