Holy hell, you actually got the AE First Contact message?! I've only seen those in the localization files. How did you do it?

Fun fact: if the devs (or modders) ever get around to adding Militarist fallen empires, the Blorg will be able to spawn as them as well.

I actually don't know. Maybe it's because I had ignored about half of the galaxy because I was playing more tall than usual
Got another fun one, I had a rival try and call in raiders on me, and they decided to path their way through the voidspawn's system.

So my latest run in with the Great Khan resulted in a rather unusual situation. One of the key chokepoint systems that the Khan conquered had two colonies in it. This was a pretty crucial choke point as well as a wormhole system, so my nanite swarms had ended up passing through numerous times during the war. However, I hadn't gotten involved with the ground combat situation, and apparently at some point two different nearby AI empires had come in and each taken one of the two planets.
Eventually, the Khan got himself assassinated and a tenuous peace was restored to the galaxy. As I was re-tasking some of my science ships, I noticed the one of the few remaining unexplored systems was this previously crucial choke point. And it was only then that I realized something odd had happened. Because the two planets had different controllers, neither one of them had done the usual thing where an outpost gets automatically redeployed once the coast was clear of hostiles, and the system was still lacking a starbase months after the war had ended.
Anyone else seen this type of situation during a crisis war?

I honestly wish they would bring that back in some form, as it would resolve a lot of awkward and unintuitive situations where control changes hands in unusual ways.
Like, earlier in this same Khan war, I took a chokepoint system from the Khan and started to fortify its planet and starbase. One of the Khan's auxiliary fleets later came and smashed up the starbase while my other fleets were out of position, but I figured I was fine since I still had the planet and it had defense armies and a shield. It was just a matter of moving my fleets back to clear out the Khan fleet. Then one of the Khan's satrapies came in and built a starbase in the system, causing control of the planet to shift over to them without a fight.
To be fair, I think the system had belonged to them originally and I'd been in the process of kicking all their squishy organics off the planet to make room for my war machines. But they still shouldn't have been able to just retake the planet on a technicality like that!
