aka we have a lot of young hotheads who have been fighting for the civilians which are all ancient and the civilians might start to get uppity sooner or later.
Loroi civilians at least are the underclass, so with the possible exception of individuals, no one's been fighting for them. Non-Loroi civilians are a possibly different matter, but they will also be perceived slightly differently.
As for "massive issues", mostly it would be in terms of "where do we put this massive population?", which I expect will be answered with a mixture of patience (after all, people die over time) and assigning them to reclaim deserted and devastated (but still reclaimable: you won't bother with irradiated hell-holes in most cases) planets. Keep them tasked on that for a while and you'll both change what they're used to, and slowly build up your own carrying capacity so that you can get back to your previous population densities.
Arioch, a question in the Umiak thread got me to wondering: how large of a region do the archeological studies that the Loroi, Nissek, Historians, and Umiak know of cover? Is it just their zones of influence + a small border (or large border, in areas where they're in contact with another race that will allow them passage)?
