I guess that players that use the Ancient Race Trait use a justification like "our race was exterminated and we survived underground" to explain knowing the Quadrant but not having any ships or colonies.....

Personally when I use it I justify it (if that is even necessary ??) As saying MM just named the trait poorly. Even our prmitive Earth tech can detect planets around other stars. We certainly would not send a colony ship into a black hole system. A race that knows what planets are around them does not take a great strech of the imagination.
