Mmm... race contacts are generaly established during a ship encounter in the same sector, aren't they ?

That is correct. (Actually same system, not same sector neccesarily.) But if you don't have planets you can't actually make contact. You can see their ship and they can see yours, but you don't get a first contact message, and you can't communicate with them. You also lose contact if you later abandon all yoru planets or they all get destroyed. Even if you still have ships you lose contact. And if all the warp points leading to your planets are closed you also lose contact.
