OK Here is one. You are at war with a race (human) and you have a TR treaty with his Partner (also human) Since they are partners you inform the race you have the TR treatie with not to send scouts into your territroy. He ignores these requests. What do you do?

Oh wait, against humans? Now all bets are off. I mean to say anything goes. Enter into a dialog and work out some non-game treaty. Like only frigate sized ships may enter. Or no more than 5 of their ships. Or they must earn their travel rights with any gift you imagine. Or declare war, nuke the offending ships, the ask for a treaty again, under whatever reparation terms can be imagined.

Any of these options can be the building of a deeper relationship, or a sore point in an empire's side building to an angry response where the war hawks demand that yuo earn back your honor.

Hey, role play this any way you want --
"Those are not our ships, some rogue empire has copied our design and signature"

"That ship's captain is insane, our government condems his actions, but our ships sovernity must be respected."
