[Atrocities]

Did you know if you land a large number of troops on a planet and they do not win by the end of ground combat, but some still remain, they will continue to fight over the course of the next few turns until they are defeated or win. I did not know this and found it out in one of my STM beta trials. I landed troops on a planet, lost all of my ships to the planets defenses, was a minor races homeworld, but two turns later my troops had defeated them and the planet was mine. I then built a space station filled with cargo bays. Transfered most of the population to the space station and then spaced them. Those were some of my finest ships! (I had set that race to max reporoduction so really it did not matter, it was just a matter of thinning the heard for the next lot.)
