The DDS have recently conducted a discreet survey of Rectoid space and have also gathered much useful intelligence from the likes of the Molab who are nearer to their space (though still some way off). The DDS report that the Rectoid civilisation has totally changed. The old military regime of course was crushed when the home world Recta was destroyed by bio-genic weapons. The new Rectoids is a decentralised collection of planets with several peer factions based around the major planets (which is similiar to their genetic cousins the 7 Sa Sao).
The Rectoids do not seem to be interested in rebuilding their fleet and gaining revenge. A new less militaristic civilisation based on the family appears to have developed though the DDS will keep them under surveillance.
