Description
Still get the Contact Report: Remnants dialog when starting as an Imperial Fiefdom

Game Version
[3.4.2 Cepheus]

What version do you use?
(DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION)

What expansions do you have installed?


Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
"Intelligent life taunts us with its pointed absence", says the empire that is currently an alien vassal.

You still get this dialog when scanning signs of life for the first time even when starting as a Fiefdom and therefore having contacts with other empires.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Start as a fiefdom, scan some planets.

Still ongoing in 3.4.5

Also amusingly my hivemind is apparently posting to itself on newsnet

Found the problem.

Scion, Imperial Fiefdom, all those ones where you start off knowing other empires, have events that add the Story2 flag for encountering space CREATURES instead of the Story7 flag for encountering space FARERS.

The game thinks your overlord is space amoeba.
