Hi,

As far as I understand it, the guardian pop is not supposed to be able to move. However, I encounter a strange bug where two guardian pops in a system was moved to a newly colonized planets automatically. It happened in my game to my Hissho opponent. After I conquered their home planet I noticed there were two guardian pops on the ICE planet, which cannot be right. So I enter the debug mode and backtrack the game until I found the bug. I luckily have the save before the turn the ice planet was colonized. When I switch to Hissho and hit the end turn button, the two guardian pops automatically move to the newly colonized ICE planet.

Save file as attached:

g4.sav

As a follow up:

Tried razing the system, but it won't finish razing; population is stuck at 2 (the guardian).

Capture another Hissho system with the same problem (Guardian moved to another planet). Now I am trying the sacrifice Guardian action to see what's the result.

Sacrificing Guardian remove the pop but not the extra pop slot. 

I am done with this run and in my new Unfallen run I was sure to  remove Hissho from the game.
