I don't have the game (yet) but this is from their web-based instructions:

When you land on a planet held by your opponent or by the aliens, however, victory is determined by a comparison of each side's Combat Strength, with ties going to the defender.
The results of the combat will be displayed. If you win, the planet is yours. If you lose, your attacking force is wiped out, but sometimes not before they send back a report on the planet indicating the level of defenses, technology, and resource production.
Other forms of combat include planet-based rocket and ion beam attacks and sabotage missions.
*Note: if you successfully invade a planet with advanced technologies such as missile bases, planetary shields or scanners, those items are destroyed in the battle. Advanced resource production facilities are not destroyed, however, with the increased production facility remaining as the spoils of victory.

So you do not control combat.
The game is very well explained
here.
