What do I do with occupied planets?
I'm in this sweet alliance with two other empires minding my own business when one of my teammates wants to declare war on a puny neighbor, me and the other ally are down with it and agree.
I quickly send in a huge fleet and start bombarding a planet, I take down its defenses and send in a ground army to mop up their defending army. After taking them down I get this sweet victory screen saying I am successfully occupying the planet. My assumption was that it was going to be like Civ 5 and ask me to choose what to do with it, such as kill off the people in it or take it over as my own planet and make it a part of my empire; no such luck, instead it seems like I can do nothing with it, and it remains under control of its owner, sort of.
My armies are chilling on the planet, I am able to remove them, but should I? When I go to the grid screen it says nothing can be done and nothing is being produced because of the occupation.
This is a one player game, all the other empires are ai controlled. I did not start the war, instead I got an alert asking to vote whether to go to war or not.
What do I do now? Do I just ignore it and continue on with my war? Should I remove my armies? Do I ever get the planet?

Best Answer
You can execute the occupation of a planet, by landing of 'ASSAULT ARMIES'.
At first, you must recruit one or more of the "ASSAULT ARMY".
After clicking a planet, you will find a Tab named "ARMIES". Then a choice "RECRUIT" is displayed on there, and you should choose "ASSAULT ARMY" (or "ROBOTIC ARMY" if possible), not "defence army".
Once an Assault Armies has been built, they can embark for outer space any time. Before embarking, you should not forget to add an attachment (defensive/offensive).
ARMIES that have already embarked, they are renamed "TRANSPORT FLEET". When you send them into orbit of a hostile planet, the occupation will be finally possible.
plaese forgive my poor english. Jolan Tru!

Show activity on this post. So first you need to recruit the army on your planets. Then if you select that planet and go to the armies screen, in the top left of that panel there is a button named "embark all" this will move all your armies to the orbit of the planet where you can then move them like regular ships.How do you tell if a system has a planet Stellaris?
When not occupied, there is the enemy faction's icon to the left of the system's name if it has a habited planet, but when the system is occupied, the icon of my faction is in it's place regardless of planet status.How do you bombard a planet in Stellaris?
You can't bomb a planet unless you're at war with the target. If the planet isn't "liberated" yet by the slaves, then you can't do anything other than send more armies or wait until they become a sovereign nation you can declare war on.Occupied Planet
