how do i speed up the draginol event?

YES, SPEED IT UP. the incredible pure good yor are on a warpath and my name is at the top of the list. the bright evil drengin and evil torians and a few minors were wiped out. only the bright evil altarians and arceans are still around. i have built my second battleship, the yor are on their dreadnaughts. my lucky ranger (thanks to luck +1 attribute) kept the yor at bay for a few months but it is heavily damaged now. the 'good' yor waxed my unarmed mercahants and i am bleeding money.

BUT, the alexians are looking for this crystal thing. since my ass is going down i want that event to happen to give the yor something to deal with other than me.

btw, if i build a colony ship and send it out to a distant corner of the galaxy will the game end if the ai doesn't find it?
