stupid altarian casus bellii

This only happened in a 1.5 game (started in 1.4).

I am allied with the Drath.

The Altarians had a diplomatic incident with me (the event) and we went to war.

I totally destroyed their fleet, but because I'm neutral alignment and have always had good relations with the Altarians, I didn't take any of their worlds and accepted a white peace soon after. 2 turns later the Altarians said something to the effect of "Your war with the Drath is unjust, we are declaring war on you" and they did. I took some worlds and again settled for peace. After about 5 turns they still think I'm at war with the Drath and declared war on me again.

I was allied with the Drath throughout this time.

Is it possible someone was manipulating things behind the scenes?

I've heard this of this happenin before... I don't think Manipulations would make a race go to war with you with you for a false reason like that... maybe a false reason, but not one that EVERYONE can see is false.

Well, the Drath ARE the super manipulators and based on my AI difficulty level (tough) I doubt they would do something like that. Besides, "manipulated" wars usually have a message like "We have been paid by someone to kill you", not "your war against your ally is unjust".
