Didn't you hear the man? They have no rulers over them. They probably have no concerns about things like "consistency with species names" or "copyrights." Pah!

Uh oh... The Barbarians are coming and there ready...
Likewise! Now just don't get killed by your own Slave Race and you'll be great
Cold war is cold no longer. One can only hope that it is not a miscacluation to force the issue now.
The game trolled you with those Yldar barbarians.
Let's see how the first interstellar war goes, but if the Tribes power is equivalent to yours and you have the Federation with you... It seems it is going to be too much one-sided for their taste.
Seriously, though, between the Vultaum and the Pseudo-Yldars, it does make one wonder whether the Progenitors might have been having a laugh at someone's expense...
Time to try and split the Rothak in half so the Yldar have a pathway further east.
Hopefully you have many claims and luck in war!
In a war of corvets, the destroyer is king.

Ooh, a first taste of galactic war. Let's hope the Yldar have prepared as well as they think
Did you not have any claims or did the war end before you could get to the systems you had claimed?Well it didn't work out like that but I was on the winning side.
That was a very exciting battle scene to start off with
Somewhat cheeky of the Kammerians, but even so the experience is worthwhile. It may be, though, that the Yldar need to consider more forceful negotiating tactics themselves with the Rothak in the future.

A hard-fought struggle, and ultimately a victorious one. A shame the Yldars weren't able to get any concessions themselves, but the goodwill of an ally and access to the broader galaxy aren't necessarily bad prizes themselves.
The Yldars fought well in a difficult situation and with (militarily) unreliable allies. They deserve kudos even if they won very little materially from the conflict.
A first taste of galactic war ends with a victory. Concessions would have been nice, but surviving the baptism was perhaps more important. Good news for future conflicts.
I feel like I have just read one of your quality "naval" posts from a Victoria II AAR. I feel remarkably refreshed. No small thing today, so I must regard this as a very serendipitous update to have just read before bed.
The sudden forum upgrade was certainly a bit disorienting. Overall I've gotten adjusted to it, but there are still a few things here and there that grate on me a little.
Definitely enjoying the detailed look at the Yldar battle fleet (and their allies and foes). The rationales for the specialist ships were particularly interesting; Stellaris is one of those rare Paradox games where customizing weapons and armor loadouts is something that actually matters in-game, and I've always found the wide array of options that allow you to tailor a design to play to particular strengths to be one of the game's better features.
The loss of threadmarks (and other functionality) has also highly irritated me and I'm not looking forward to retroactively putting a contents page of my own in, but I'm hoping that in terms of style the new forum will eventually grow on me (or at least become tolerable) as it becomes the norm; much like every time Facebook, Twitter, or Steam throw out some UI updates.
Enjoyable update on the fleets of battle, and getting a close look at just how bizarre the 'rescued' ships are to look at is certainly something . I wonder, are they likely to be copied/reverse-engineered (if that's possible), or will they remain the oddball outsiders of the Ylder fleet?
This is quite an informative appendix, one for which I am glad.
I, too, am quite frustrated with the loss of threadmarks, though I, fortunately or unfortunately, only have one AAR to update with a contents page.
Excellent narrative as always.
