I think it would be pretty easy to code the revolt so that it isn't simply "This planet is now OURS!"... perhaps a number of enemy troops might spawn on the planet and fight the current factions... maybe some of the current factions' troops will turn and fight the remaining who havent.... or perhaps you could just give a "Revolt in Progress!" message simply so that you have a wee bit of warning so you can escape -- or a warning so that you can get some more troops (if available) to assist in putting down the rebellion.
Just so that a revolt isn't instantaneous -- even a 1 minute warning would be cool. See everyone moving as fast as they can toward a wormhole leading to safety

well, if you're doing it via scripts, outputting a line to chat as a warning and then doing a timer for a minute would be nice at least... at least get the warning that way..
