I feel your pain. In my second game, I started in a system with two warp points. On turn 8, my home planet was blockaded. I managed to destroy the ship and made a trade alliance with the attacker. On turn 18 the Sergetti showed up through the other warp point. I have four planets doing nothing but military research and military production. The Sergetti just brought in ships with shields so my days are numbered.
