How to handle riots?

[Garfield]

Hi :)

I got a few planets after I won a war. It seems I can't get rid of the alien people because of my government ethic choices. So I have to keep them and make them happy?

I thought I can decrease riots by building some defense troops on that planet, but I can't build troops out of aliens... So my next plan was to transport some of my human defense troops to that planet. But you can't transport defense troops?

How can I build defense troops on one of my planets with aliens on it? Never?

You can build troops if you give them rights. Select that species "rights" in the species screen and allow them to raise troops.

You can immediately start raising troops of said conquered aliens. I do this all the time when I conquer a planet. Erases unrest and I have never (not once) had a rebellion with hundreds of hours of game time.

You can use assault troops i believe to quell rebels

role playing concerned, I don't think it would be wise to give weapons to the very people who are rebelling against you xD

Well, not all of them. But there are always a few quislings about.

Yea. I usually never give military service option to those that I conquered. Not that I won't, I just don't consider those who aren't pretty enough to be able to move around in my empire and hold weapons. Hence majority of them just fall into this "Defensive Readiness Pansy Watch" Faction. Kind of sad really, they are already not "pretty", now they just make themselve cowardly. I contemplated on exterminating those weaklings and turn them into food for my dominant specie. (Must not forget about delicious trait) But then, I prefer to have a stronger empire so I allowed them to live. I do give military service to some specie I conquered though. I am the Triumvirate kind of guy. It is too bad, whole galaxy full of species, and i usually don't find the third specie that I think is deserving.

You know, there are always people willing to betray their own kind for money and/or ideological reasons. The rebellions are not composed of literally the whole population anyway :P

That kind of reasoning makes you vulnerable to infiltration.

Truth as history has shown in every single conflict.

You can also resettle one of your pops there and then build armies of your own pops on the conquered planet.
