Planet rebellion - a good thing!

I was playing my first Metauniverse game last night and something very interesting happened. It was me, the Terrans and the Drengin in a tiny galaxy of 9 habitable planets. I had 3, the Terrans 4 and the Drengin 2. I had all of the resources available though, on five scattered starbases. Essentially I had overreached to grab them and my economy was hurting because of it.
Spotting my weakness, the Drengin had declared war and to defend my scattered resource starbases I was forced to crank out constructors to build battle station modules to protect them. Basically to stay in the black I was forced to have taxes at 100%. Even with this situation my economy was falling apart, and my approval rating was at 1%.
Eventually I had a rebellion - something I was hoping wouldn't happen and the Brindala nation emerged, on my class 4 Sidekick world in my home system! Better yet they paid me $10,000 to leave my empire!
On top of that I was able to set up trade with the new nation almost immediately, which put me straight into the black again!!
Had my class 13 world abandoned my empire I would have been in trouble, but fortunately I was safe.

Thankfully, but i just had an event in my game where almost all of the korx people rebelled into another korx rebel faction 
Here is a screeny, just look at the map influence of the rebels
