Well, if the empire loses every last planet, then no, there's no one to talk to. Those remaining "ghost ships" just sort of wander around picking fights with everyone until destroyed.

You may also be be describing a "practically dead" empire, the xenophobic races (Ammonkrie and Sergetti in the standard game,) have a higher threshold for all diplomacy conditions -- they have to like you more than other races do to give you a trade treaty, and you have an even higher in score to get them to surrender.

The TDM-Mod Pack takes this further, some races will never surrender or make treaties.
