The problem is that I'm roleplaying a Warrior/Honourable race, so I think the first thing to do for such a race is to send a trade treaty offer upon first contact, right?
I did so, and the Jraenar accepted. I finish the Last turn with a trade and research traty with them, and they are "brotherly" towards me. I guess the AI only becomes agressive when there are systems in dispute, and the Jraenar is like 5 systems away from my borders.
The Krill have started kicking some Xiati lower rear, and the Xiati doesn't have any treaty with the Jraenar, so it shouldn't be long untill the Xiati finds themselves fighting a two front war.

Now, what will be the diplomatic implications of this?
The Xiati will ask me to go to war against the Jraenar, and I'm not sure what is the honourable thing to do. I guess I have known the Xiati longer, and a Partnership treaty indeed require to breake any trade treaty with the partner's enemies, right?

SE4 diplomacy might be limited, but it is amazing the moral decissions that we have to make.

By the way, playing SE4 taking seriously your race's atributes is far more engaging than just trying to conquer the quadrant.
