I had at least 1, perhaps 2 major factions taken over by minor factions.
Major faction "Braunraum" in Hessen seems to have lost a war and been taken over by a minor faction of farmers "Tertafel".
This is quite unusual. I've only had it happen once before, and in that case there was a bug where the major built no units. Particularly surprising they lost to farmers. The planet only has moderate strength free folk marauders, I haven't seen any really nasty critters.
The game behaves somewhat awkwardly when this sort of thing happens. There is now a minor with 2 cities, technically still at war with a ghost major, and the ghost major's territory has free folk marauders wandering through it. As the player, declaring war on the ghost major will still cause a hit to happiness and increase fist profile despite it being in effect empty territory.
Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Not sure if it's a bug or just odd circumstances.
