I don't know...the latest edition of Starfire rules has a very extensive modelling of "Non-Player Race" behavior that is in the form of rules and die rolls against various numerical NPR personality traits. It looks like it would be pretty adaptable to SE4. Among many, many other things it covers the NPR deciding to go to war against you and delaying while it prepares, or until it resolves some other war in progress. It also has multiple "levels" of war which the NPR will choose with a die roll modified by its own numerical personality traits, what you have done and the circumstances. Off the top of my head, it sems like there are 4 levels ranging from just squabbling over a system to trying to exterminate you.
