Default Crashing when moving from planet to solar system

Basically, I get a mission to go and defend my home planet from invasion (yet again). I head there, clean up the mess, and right as I'm about to pull away from the planet the game crashes to desktop. I try this a few more times with exactly the same result.

I load up the game yet again, try moving from planet to solar system on a few different planets and it works fine, I head on over to my home planet to try it there again and still crashes.

This bug has cropped up twice before on a couple other seemingly random planets, both after extended amounts of playtime without any saves. With the current situation I have the game saved right before I'm about to enter the bugged planet.

To make things worse, I take a look at my creature creations after these crashes to notice I have far more creatures than I should have. Apparently after each cralalalala duplicates all of my creatures which are (I think) on the homeplanet. So I've got rows of identical creatures sharing the same creation time. After removing all of the clones and giving the buggy planet another attempt, the same thing happens again.

I have played the game for a considerable amount without any other random crashes, so I've only ever had crashes with the transition from planets to solar systems.

So I'm thinking maybe one of my creations are corrupt? And perhaps the duplications are a really poor attempt at fixing the problem, assuming they are closely linked with the crashes.

But that's just a guess, I don't really have a clue. Any suggestions?

Edit: Just realized I've been saying planets to galaxies instead of planets to solar systems. Whoops. :P
