How to do?
I wage a war with a minor race.
I was forced to destroy them, is possible, instead, invade a planet?
 
I have built them.
I send my fleet with mission Invade, but the result is the same: Alien Planet Destroyed

Why?
 
Planetary invasions aren't in the game yet. You can (with research in Xeno-sciences) have an enemy-held planet surrender to you (at least, the tech is in place, I haven't tried it yet) like in SotS1.

However, other than that, your options are to wipe the other guys off the planet, and then colonize it yourself. SotS doesn't have planetary "invasions" in the sense of how many other 4x games do. I kinda miss them.
 
you can invade (with assault shuttles and the mission) but not subjugate through invasion. I.e. your troops are very trigger happy.

I must admit I havent had the tech to allow surrender AND tried invasion.
