Dread Lords appearing as minor race

This has happened in several sandbox games since I installed 1.11. The Dread Lords are appearing as a minor race.

They have a star called "Dread Lords" and all the planets are "Dread Lords I, Dread Lords II" etc. I can talk to them, trade with them, ally with them, etc, like any other minor race. They even show up in the "Dread Lords on Parade" scenario, so the same species shows up twice as two separate civs. Except for their frigates, all their ships look just like the "major" Dread Lords. Their leader is Lord Dread. They have the same techs as everybody else, not the superpowerful techs of the "major" Dread Lords.

If that's not supposed to happen, then it's a bug. If it is supposed to happen, then their freighters are glitched, because they have no design, thus are completely invisible. Their frigates also look like one huge armor module as opposed to an actual ship.

I guess this is a bug...

But I've got one question: What does a Dread Lord actually look like?

Yes, cinematics is difficult, but apparently so are humanoid and scarred. I'm not sure that antidisestablishmentarianism is as difficult as triscadecaphobia is, though.

Mysteriously enough, the Dread Lords are highly similar to both Humans and Altarians, for reasons that are not clearly understood. Except the Dread Lord race suffers from chronic acne, which develops into acne scarring and crater marks which consume the entire face.

It is hoped that, with their recent introduction to the Humans, the Humans will allowed by the senate to use bottles of Proactiv® Solution as an official trade good. Those Dread Lords could really use that Proactiv®.

Admiral Adama is a Dread Lord?????

In the place of a race picture, all you get is the Dread Lord logo where the leader is supposed to be. I took some screenshots.
