How many systems do they control? Moons count as colonized planets.

And plus, just because they have 200 ships, it doesn't mean they're all fighting ships; I usually have about 100 ships by turn 30; and Colony ships and Transports make up almost 2/3rds of my empire's fleet.

Also, did you give the AI any bonuses? A high bonus would explain the fast expansion.

Nope they had normal AI no bonuses or anything like that.
The funniest thing about this all is that I have destroyed almost 70 EEE warships by now with my warfleet or because of the 37 ships that died in the nova bLast yet they are still in first place and I am still in Last place :-).

I have 50 warships (mainly concentrated into one fleet with a warp point opener) 2 nova ships in mothballs 1 ship that can create 2 worlds and destroy 1 (I have it in my warfleet), and 2 warp ships that I used to send my fleet into enemy territory.
I also have 2 troop transports with my fleet, 1 mine layer and another population transport.

There is another interesting fact, the enemy still has cruisers floating about with it's dreadnoughts but they apparently have scrapped all of their battlecruisers and battleships because I havn't seen even one of these ships in EEE service.

AI bonus High does multiply the number of resources the AI players get.

I beleive I meant turn 150 which is about year 15 or 20 I can't remember how many turns in a year ATM...hmm.

Either way updated report, I destroyed over 78 Gamilon warships with a nova bomb in one of their main staging areas.
I have also engaged over two battles 100 Gamilon warships and destroyed all of them, in total that is 170+ warships that have fallen to my navy and nova's. I have launched an offensive with the bulk of my fleet into Gamilon space and taken over one of their worlds, there is currently a 45 ship enemy fleet and a few lone straggelers in this system and that is after I destroyed a 48 ship battlefleet and two 13 ship task forces in the very same system.

Intel reports say that the Gamilon have 90 ships massed in the Lundra system...this means that the known ammount of Gamilon ships to around 150 to 160 ships.
That is amazing considering I have in one way or another destroyed around 50 of their planets and three entire star systems that belonged to them were destroyed via nova bombing.

HOW can they muster the resources to keep such a large fleet when they are still at war with the EEE empire yet I have only 75 ships with over 100 planets under my control and I only bring in about +8000 minerals per turn?!!!!

Edit: Note most of my worlds have mineral mines or monoliths in large numbers PLUS other resourcing operations. I also have the most updated resourcing systems. Shouldn't I be getting far more resources per turn?

Do the Gamillon have maintenance aptitude?

High AI bonus multiplies resource, research, and intel production.
