CMCs of player empire also do just appear on barren rock with decent minerals, with some basic equipment and free ground unit.

Hello everyone,
I've dusted off my previous game, and still encountering a strange problem. Game was set up for 100 systems max. After about 100 years in, had to fight a NPR race. They have been defeated, their home world occupied, they surrendered, and are now imperial population. That was about 200 years ago. Since then I have explored all the 100 systems and ALL bodies everywhere (yes, all.) I have found one of their populations in the neighbouring system, ground units only, I guess it was the equivalent of their civilian mining colonies. Wiped them out too. All their stray scout and jump gate builders have been found. Basically they only live on their home planet under my control. There is no shipyard there either. The diplomacy still shows them as hostile with a score of about -23000 or so.
The strange thing is, randomly one of their ground units suddenly pops up on one particular moon (a good one with good amount and accesibility of minerals) in one particular system. I don't know where these come from and how do they get there. I guess they are CMCs. I used to missile them down but they randomly come back from time to time, always on that particular moon (or possibly somehwere else too where I don't have sensors to detect them???). If left unattended, their strength grows. But they don't do anything. I also tried to put my ground units on that moon to see what they do. They do nothing. Don't even defend when attacked.
I'm confused: what are these, where do they come from, what to do to stop them? Does the surrendered race still have their own civilian sector that I can not see? Shouldn't the race change its' diplomacy status to friendly or neutral after they have surrendered and happily live under my control since 200+ years? Or did they somehow still out there somewhere, despite my full survey of the entire galaxy?
