Unrelated "terror bombing"?
I'm currently in a messy war spree and to achieve my goals, I employ limited (medium) bombardment. Thing is, my POPs at other planets get a load of happiness debuffs called "Terror Bombing". The Stellaris Wiki explicitly states that POPs get this effect when under bombardment, but I'm getting tremendous amount of these on a planet which was never a subject to a war, trading or independence (uplifted world). Why am I getting it, and how to remove these effects? Right now, it heavily impedes my Energy Credit rate.
Best Answer
I found this information on the Stellaris reddit which got it from the wiki. (For some reason I cannot load the wiki myself)
When you are performing orbital bombardment successfully killing a POP on that planet can trigger the Terror Bombing modifier if your empire is not militaristic or fanatic militaristic. This lowers your happiness by 5% if your empire is pacifist or 10% if you are fanatic pacifist on planets in your empire. The only way to get rid of this debuff is to stop killing POPs through orbital bombardment for around 3,600 days.
