I figure the gold star is for your capital, but what does a silver star represent?

Regional capital. A mini-capital that reduces corruption for the surrounding star systems. It may have other effects; look up regional capitals in the galactopedia.

That's kind of what I thought but I didn't build that (nor do I even have the tech to do so).

Is it captured? It could be you captured it from another civilization. If not, I don't know.

Uh, oh, could this be exploitable?

I mean, could you go over your quota of three regional capitals max by capturing AI planets with this installation?

It shouldn't be exploitable though.

Probably all planetary facilities should be scrapped when you capture a planet to prevent stuff like this.

I REALLY like that idea forsaken1111! Very good point. As if the facilities got "scuttled" by
the troops before being defeated. Very good!

this should sometimes work and sometimes not work, maybe the invasion is so fast they don't have time....or we could have an agent mission to prevent this on a planet prior to invading; when you see one of your agents succeed at this, you invade and voila...the structures were not destroyed
