't the simplest rational for limited reinforcements the timescale of the
game.
 
If the revolt takes place with one turn = one day then there is very
limited time to mobilise new units and get them to a planet miles away.
Look at the recent international conflicts for a model. If it's a done
deal before the next meeting of the general assembly of terra or
whatever then they might vote not to invade and to deal with the new
regime.
 
If one turn is one year then it's a big noisy war. Again politics might
be the limiting factor. Wars are expensive and so might not be popular
and some politicians might vote for education for their citizens rather
than expensive military intervention.
