Science fiction games that concentrate on the assault and conquest of a single planet. Planetary (whole-world) scale, not tactical battles on a section of a planet or asteroid.

Please add to this list!

Perhaps the oldest game in the list. Inspired by the Poul Anderson novel.

The novel in question being War of the Wing-Men, I believe (in case anyone goes looking for a novel called The Ythri, since there isn't one).

I think this is actually based on 'People of the Wind'.

'War of the Wing-Men' is a great book too, though. It's out of print under that name but sometimes pops up as either 'Earth Book of Stormgate-2' or 'The Man Who Counts'.

Did the Hot Spot map show the whole planet? I don't think it did, but I don't remember the game very well.
