Population surrender? help noob

[wigmoso (OP)]

I'm playing 5.14.  I get an event that says "as a result of the population surrender (wtf?) the [insert every ship in earths orbit here, 1 ship per event] has surrendered as it was in orbit of the planet.

It keeps messing up my fleets, is it a bug or can i do something about it?

Thanks in advance.
