I was playing the latest version of Dread Lords last night (not Dark Avatar... I didn't buy the expansion because I didn't think I'd play enough to justify the extra cost... hah!), and something strange happened...

I was playing as the Korx, and early in the game I'd had a war with the Drath.  We signed a peace treaty when things started looking hairy for me, and the galaxy continued in relative peace.  I then ended up in a war with the Iconians, and was midway through invading their worlds when one of my transports was attacked by a Drath Heavy Fighter.

My first reaction was "Oh balls", since the Drath were the strongest military power at that point.  However, I checked the foreign relations screen, and our relations were "Neutral".  Next turn, I attacked and destroyed the fighter, and our relations still did not change.  I wasn't prompted to declare war

I'm guessing one of the following is true:

- there's a bug in the game
- the Drath sold/gave the ship to the Iconians, and the name wasn't changed
- an Iconian fighter showed as a Drath fighter due to some other glitch
- I was sleep-deprived and hallucinating

Any ideas?
