Primary Enemy and ships/planets

Hi. I used one of my ships to tow an enemy's ship to one of my planets. I had him set as primary enemy. What I expected to happen is that I would fight him after the tow. Instead he attacked (and conquered) the planet, then I attacked and conquered the planet again. No ship to ship combat happened at all. Is this what's supposed to happen? I thought primary enemy did the opposite - initiate combat with another ship, not a planet...

An uncloaked ship with PE set will fight planets, of proper disposition.. However, ships should fight ships prior to fighting planets I think.

Is it possible that both ships had the same FC (like "mkt", or "lfm"), but the planet was different?

That both ships had the same friendly would explain that behaviour. But no if the frienlies was mkt o lfm since that two friendlies are not taken in account for matching frienlies restriction.

Both my ship and planet had random friendly codes. I guess the combat with the planet makes sense (I thought that primary enemy only causes ship v. ship, not ship v. planet, but I realize that's only true for a cloaked ship). The lack of ship v. ship combat is weird though. I guess there's an extremely small chance that our ships happened to have the same, non-meaningful friendly. I'm going to check with the player...
