Gosh those elf portraits are pretty. I'm jealous because I only ended up with gnomes (or very ugly halflings) and tieflings in my game.
Anyway cool work so far.

Subject: Alien Contact
My Lady, I have the most EXCITING news from the frontier! It seems we've encountered ACTUAL, INTELLIGENT life! They seem to live in the galactic south of us. The POSSIBILITIES! Surely these aliens are as god fearing and good looking as us! Oh, I can't WAIT for the first actual comm link to be established!
--------------
Advisor note: The aliens have indeed proven to be of the intelligent sort. In regards to counting money, especially. They are not exactly god fearing, but they are of equal strength to us and pretty neutral towards us. They seem to pose no immidiate threat to the Confederacy, and I recommend we keep cordial relations to them.

Not much common ground - but then one must make allowances for the unenlightened nature of other species.

So. Yeah. My crew were right. The irregularities were in fact due to sensory malfunction. I were wrong. I am humbled. BUT! I LEARNED something! This will make my next endavour even better, as I have got new, improved insights! For SCIENCE, I will be even more meticulous!

Advisor note: Well. He is, if not exaclty humble, humbled. That's something. At the same time, the Vurxac now have a lot more energy in that system, which they control...

They are not exactly hostile,no. But they block my expansion.
Then, of course, there is the north...
Wow, an 8 energy star, weird though they can't just make it a flat +8 instead of 2x +4 but hey, it's free energy so who cares !
!
A mistake, well as Dr Robert Ford (aka Anthony Hopkins) says "Evolution forged the entirely of sentient life ... using only one tool - mistake".
Yes, but I DIDN'T GET IT.Wow, an 8 energy star, weird though they can't just make it a flat +8 instead of 2x +4 but hey, it's free energy so who cares
And as you'll soon see, it's not adviceable to take it by force either...He did learn a thing or two, yes.

Topic: Another alien contact
Dear Sir/Madam,
Another alien race has been encountered, this time in the galactic north of our Confederacy. While exciting enough, this means we are probably dealing with a civilization that blocks our expansion to the galactic north, effectively boxing us in between the Vurxac and them. May the gods be merciful and let these creatures be friendly.
------------------------------
Advisor note: The gods have not been merciful in this case. The Vurxac relations are deteriorating and these Bavi have turned out to be imperialistic and unfriendly snails. I recommend we bridge the gap in the north as soon as possible, and build up our defences. At some point, we need to make one of them our friends to secure a strike on the other. In the name of the gods, of course.

Damn, I forgot how many AI nations you allowed but that's for sure bad RNG. Somehow I didn't had this happen to me yet though, even if playing on a 4 arm spiral galaxy. Maybe this happens more often if you're in a spiral galaxy? Though a plain circle is probably the biggest chance of encountering a nation blocking you off I suppose.

Topic: Asteroid Sighted
My Lady,
I am happy to tell you the asterioid that threatened all life on Peltaesi, has been dealt with. Due to favor from the gods, our space station was able to destroy it while it passed Cyban, ending the threat. Praise the gods!
-------------------
Advisor note: Thank the gods. And thank technology, if I may say so. We should keep a keep eye on the area, in case there are more asteroid threats looming close by. But it seems we are in the clear.

I didn't know star bases could destroy it too - well it's obvious of course, but last time I had this was before 2.0, I can't really believe though that it's intentional that it passes by your starbase, pre 2.0 you always had to use your fleet. But besides that, obviously a praise to the gods as a thank you can't hurt right ?
?
Yep, and it was a pleasant surprise that the starbase could do it!
Me neither. I was scrambling my fleet, but the asteroid was done for before it got there.I didn't know star bases could destroy it too - well it's obvious of course, but last time I had this was before 2.0, I can't really believe though that it's intentional that it passes by your starbase, pre 2.0 you always had to use your fleet.
