Actually, this sort of thing happens when you send colony ships out without people aboard. It makes the colony, but nothing else happens. Are your shipyards set to automatically send ships out somewhere, and then you're giving colonization orders a turn later?

Sometime plagues happen and are not mentioned in the turn even file. I have seen this a couple of times in many of my games.

If all the people on the planet die from a plague or some other event, you do not lose the facilities. The planet goes dormant like you are describing. Only if the population is killed in combat are the facilities also destroyed and the colony erased.

Really ? I just lost a colony to a plague and planet lost all facilities. Planet converted to the uncolonized status. With a loss to values too
