What to do with Habinte Unified Worlds?

[JamesX]

[Spoiler Alert]

I am currently on a game trying to get the Dark Forest Achievement.

However, I cannot attack Habinte Unified Worlds.

The last event I had with them is they offered their planet but I refused and chose to take their secret by force.

In which case they promptly turned off all their Hyperspace lanes.

I used jump drive to jump to their system and they restored hyperspace travel to their system.

here is then the problem. They now own their system. (Used to be owned by me as they are pre-ftl). But they are still considered pre-ftl civilization.

I cannot declare war (as they are pre-ftl)
I cannot attack their their planets using colossus (as I am not at war with them)
I cannot invade their planets (as they are not a pre-ftl civ inside my borders)
I cannot re-build observation posts (as their system is no longer mine)

Is there anyway I can do to get rid of them? I believe for the achievement I need to wipe every one in the Diplomacy UI from the galaxy.

Same here.
When I stumbled upon them, it was too late - someone else had already interacted with them and now, I can not declare war on them or doing anything else.
I even went with the "Become the crisis" mechanism to get the star eaters - but even they can't be used against a system owned by someone that I am not at war with.
And there is no way to DOW them.
Sad times when a fanatic purifier can't go to war against someone :-(

I really hope there's a hotfix for this, the displacement bug, and the nuclear war one. And not some "big patch" in a few weeks or months.
