I had to make an executive decision and given that the GBF (now the GBE) was the galactic power, it was the obvious choice. You could have been close and started small conflicts with the GBE but I needed an NPC "evil empire" of sorts
You had one post and all you did was destroy drones and "wander" out into the galaxy to stop a war. You were nowhere close, have you discovered the temple on your planet? As for what to do, do what the rest of us are doing..
Aye, I actually wanted to ask you about your coords, since I figured that it would be impossible for neighboring powers not to notice each other for a long time.
