How to prevent my 'overlord' rebels infinitely?

[Nyaruko]

Just in year 2292,My overlord has been eliminated,Because rebel.That harms my economy because loses 75% alloy/consumer goods bonus.Even if I have enough fleets to crash every empires,I am failed to save my puppet lord.
I go back to half a year ago,to check the status of my 'overlord',Seems like he is dead completely.

I don't care he is bankrupt or not,This won't affect my 75% alloy bouns.But,Any ways to make him leave its last planet?e.g. give him a fortress world?

My lord has rebelled countless times,I claimed his gaia world and secured it via rebel.

HMMM this is quite the hard problem to figure out, but perhaps . . . stop draining him so hard that his entire empire implodes? If you want him to live then you have to, y'know, actually support him and make him strong enough to survive. Either help him get other vassals, or lighten the burden you are putting on him

Lathland just did a video on this today showing the parasite playstyle, but in the end, your Overlord *will* implode or be eaten by a bigger empire if you drain him too hard

I realized this myself. There was a game I played where I wanted to roleplay a fanatically friendly alien empire that wanted to be subjugated and to assist an overlord that we deemed worthy.

I found a super friendly ai and sent terms of my subjugation (and quickly jumped over to the ai pov and accepted it). I wanted to be a prospectorium and throw resources their way and get the prospectorium bonuses. Unfortunately, by midgame, it was apparent they had fallen behind. They were only a little bit stronger than me even though I was forking over metric butt tonnes of resources.

I looked over and noticed the problem. As a level three prospectorium I was draining something like 75% of their science output without raising my tith. I then renegotiated the deal so I was just a regular tributary (and jumped over to the ai pov to accept the new terms), and suddenly in like 30 years the ai doubled in score.

Shocker, after I stopped leaching their tech output the ai was able to just stampede ahead without a problem. Later I renegotiated again but raised my strategic resource and advanced resource contribution and the ai got strong enough to stand toe to toe against a fallen empire.

I should also mention this was on ensign (the base difficulty), and obviously not Ironman so I could switch over to the ai as needed to renegotiate.
