  In the patched Galactic Bloodshed (the version where you can live on gas-
  giants and so on...), the game put me, a water-breather, on planet 2 in the 
  Betelgeuse system.

  The game continues for a bit.  I evolve.  I explore.  I build ships.  I fly
  to the first planet in the system.

  It is exactly the same as my planet, even down to the owned sectors.

  But wait!  There's more!

  Not only is it a copy of my planet in every way except my mobilization and
  my building of ships, BUT I CAN CONTROL THE POPULATION AND USE ITS RE-
  SOURCES!  It *IS* me!  It is just as though I colonized a planet that looks
  exactly like my own!!!

  AAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!

  How in hell do I fix this one?

  For those curious, Betelgeuse-I was an airless asteroid (I saved the output
  from makeuniv -v...)...
