speaking of rashes... maybe troops should increase the probability that a plague (STD style) will break out on your planet
I think that SEV could have an option where you can employ the troops to increase produciton. A button in the set of buttons for "coherce" or "repress" will both increase production and decrease rioting/control it. However overall happiness should go down, and planets that
would have rioted would still be treated as such for global happiness calculations.
theres 2cents. don't spend em all in one place
