Here I am, doing science on how gravity affects objects and the required mass of such to help me find a way to make artificial gravity possible, then I end up on an article about thermonuclear detonations on Mars.

In a way? They're both.
The WISE thing to do is to avoid them, and that IS Namilee standard procedure. However, the Namilee feel as if they have some duty to help the X'cor realize what it is they're doing, how ultimately self-destructive it is, etc. If they could, they'd enter negotiations with the X'cor and try to share ideas.
But I think we all know how that'd turn out.

The Namilee have two basic methods of dealing with aliens:
1. Make friendly with them. Try to establish transmissions; try to learn about them and figure out what their situation is; try to be peaceful.
2. Avoid them. Aliens can be dangerous.

Well, all I can do for a map is a bunch of colorful blobs on Microsoft Paint, so I guess I'm asking if anyone can do literally anything better looking than that

You'll still be overwhelmed by anyone with a large enough population, however- the New Republic, the Xim (350 billion population, by the way), and so on. So don't get in over your head

Yes. As I said, if you have a VALID reason to increase your army size, I'll likely allow it.
This is more than valid, and I'm surprised you hadn't mentioned it earlier.
I'll allow up to 15 percent of your people to be in the military- more than double what you have now- but that's as I has I can let it go, because I don't feel that any normal economy could support a military larger than 15 percent for more than a few years at a time.
I do hope there's the possibility for them.
