How is the victory condition determined ?

I just lost a game oddly, it seemed to me that I controlled the galaxy, planets of other races regulary rebelled against their dictators and joined my empire, my population, tech, manufacturing, military strength was by far the most advanced in the galaxy, at least according to the graphs. Acutally there was nothing much left over from the former enemies. Then suddenly the end screen popped up telling me that I was wiped out and defeated ?
Do the AI's cheat in this way when they see that they can't win a game ? I do remember my little brother who when playing chess against me wiped off the board right before I could set him check mate. It's nice to find the same human behaviour in the AI's, but hey, they are a computer right, no emotions allowed, beside my own ones, or do I face HAL from Space Odysee ?
Cheers,
