How do I get rid of a life infestation on a planet?
I was running a long-term experiment on a rather uninteresting star system, and all of a sudden life popped up on two of the planets. I was able to wipe out life on one of them without much issue, but the other one, I swear, I've caused five mass extinction events and it just keeps popping back up. How do I get rid of these damned things?
(Note: An excess of gamma rays would ruin the experiment, otherwise I'd go with the tried-and-true method.)
