I actually had this happen to me twice in one game. It was in an ancient quadrant. Fortunately, the first time was early, and I had just managed to get a decent foothold in a nearby system when I got the message. I escaped that system with minimal losses. The second time I was in the process of creating planets in a system with a better sort of star when I got the message again. Apparently the entire quadrant was in upheaval, because I managed to close myself off before the competition could eliminate me, licked my wounds and survived.
