[Sinapus]

I think it depends on that "personality type" that got added. Races like the Eee, for instance, tend to be pretty faithful with treaties. (However, don't accept a military alliance unless you want them colonizing all available planets in your territory. Feh.)

I think the Phong have the same personality type, except they tend to lie when they promise to abandon colonies in systems you claim.

"What do -you- want?" "I'd like to live -just- long enough
to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a
pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors
come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless
eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your
associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
