Assassination or assimilation?

If there are in-game indications that another Power might assimilate or puppet a Minor Power first, I’ve found success in beating them to it. It might require pulling out all the stops and gifting the Minor Power 6k Energy, or paying the upkeep costs on one or more of the various interpower agreements.

So I am playing the Klingons and the Fed are assimilating like 3-4 other races, have the same issue as Picard 359 I believe, how to stop them. Can't declare a coup offensive on the minor powers it will not let me. Personally that's exactly how if I was a strong power I would stop someone going over to another side and then install a puppet.

Agreed. The Klingons were notorious for “jumping the claim” of the Federation, Romulans, pretty much EVERYONE else.

I think the Klingon rationale was something along the lines that another Major Power saw enough value to invest time and resources into a planet or Minor Power, then it would be a trophy worth pursue for the Empire.

It was more of a “cultural” thing than it was a “greed” thing, if I recall correctly.
