All those Xi'Chung would be coming from the other empire with 'invisible' ships, I'm guessing. Isn't migration just the people *leaving* the planet?

I understand that the actual immigration process is abstracted by using an Immigration Rate percentage value. But how come I have
181M immigrants on the first turn after colonization, in 0.1 of a year? What does "5% migration/year" mean? 5% of what? The whole of the other empire's population? That would be silly.
Need to also check if all these millions are really removed from the other Empire. I've just researched Gas Giant colonization, and am about to colonize half a dozen more methane planets. 100M/turn migration onto each of my planets would leave the Xi'Chung empire empty within a year

. Conquest through immigration for the win!

And what happens if he pulls off all the humans living on the planet? That'd allow more tonnage to devote to buildings because the planet would no longer be domed. Would the player still own it with having just xichung on it?

What happens is that I have a mix of human and Xi'Chung population on the same planet, under my flag. If I remove the non-native breathers (i.e. humans) from the methane planet it loses its 'domed' status and I can exploit it as if it were a green oxygen planet with oxygen-breathing humans. The planet remains in my possession.
It works just like in SEIV, where you would manually first conquer then transport native-breathers to the appropriate planets so they are not domed anymore. SEV added this migration feature to do it automatically and without even having to conquer these other populations, you only need to micro-manage the removal of the non-native breathing colonizers if any. It's just that the immigration rates seem way off.
