satellite status?

[ringworm]

Hi A fallen empire has offered me satellite status. Nothing on the tool tip gives me any clues what will happen if I accept or decline? Any help please

You will get an overload and limited actions.

• A Satellite is a subject of the Watchful Regulators. They must pay 25% of their research production to the Fallen Empire and are banned from using artificial intelligence.

From the wiki.

I know this is an old question, but I need to resurrect it for a moment, are you sure it's research? the in game description says you pay mineral and energy, the 25% research obviously makes more sense, but I want to just check it.

Different types of Awakened Empires have different subject types. See here: http://www.stellariswiki.com/Subject_empire
You'd become a Dominion of the Doctrinal Enforcers

I did read that, my point was that the in game description for me of being a Satellite said it was wrong, so i wanted to check; I assume it's just a glitch, since asking I made the point to rebel to see what happened and I got the expected research increase, but the description in diplomacy still describes satellite as paying minerals and energy to your overlord, at least in my current game.

I'd screen-shot but it's ironman and I already rebelled successfully so no can do.
