Ever been attacked, but no war declared as a result?

I had just finished off the Drengin, was minding my own buisness just swallowing up a few more various worlds through influence, and the Iconians invade one of my worlds.

Hmmm... I thought. They want a war? Tiny little Iconia? They were already at war with the Yor, and no declaration of war on me had been made. It was a suprise attack.

So after the attack I went into the Treaties screen. There was no red line of war between Iconia and myself.

Strange that I can get attacked with no war resulting.

So, I wait a couple turns and nothing more happens.

So I am still minding my own buisness, quietly swallowing up a few more planets with influence.

Was the planet they took one that you'd just flipped by influence? Perhaps the transport was already on the way to take it, and then when you flipped it the AI got confused, still thinking it was one of his opponents.

No, it had been mine for some time.
And they tried to take it, but failed.

And the AI is computer controlled. It should not get confused in such a way.
