[@Sigma] Yeah, I figure we get involved in border fights. The way I see it: We probably don't actually physically border each other, because otherwise that puts a giant bug empire pretty much in the Terran core worlds. Instead you constantly attack human/terran worlds nearby to the Federation that aren't a part of the Federation (I figure the galaxy is filled with human NPCs, considering the fact that the galaxy was 90% conquered by the empire before). The Federation considers these mini-human NPCs as 'client states', regardless if they actually are or not and so constantly intervene or send small patrols to counter-harass your forces.
