==Overview== * Colony combat is simulated, using the relative strengths of both sides to achieve the result. * The attacker is limited to Marines brought in using [[troop transport]]s (four units per). Dropping directly onto the surface of the planet, these troops fight to the bitter end. Their performance is determined by unlocked ground combat technologies (unlocked as [[tech achievements]]) and any innate racial traits. The defender has a more comfortable position, as on top of Marines stationed at [[marine barracks]] (if any), they can also employ armor units from [[armor barracks]]. * The alternative to conquering a planet is orbital bombardment. Firing indiscriminately, bombardment destroys [[population]], [[colony structures]], and any existing military units of the planet owner. * Any Marines left on the planet once it falls to the invader remain stationed as a permanent garrison, as transports cannot escape planetary gravity once deployed.
