Well, if you'd read my fiction... xD You'd know that they are very damn territorial. Remember the grox from spore? That level of distrust strangers. Allying these guys is possible, if two conditions are met: 1, the empire must be powerful enough for the Jum'Ari to consider them worthy of attention, and two, there must be more benefits than losses. I'd say that one of the most likely encounters would be this: Combine spaceship is exploring randomly (Jum'Ari only explore stars a few parsec away from their borders) and then happens upon a Jum'Ari planet. The latter would probably be much like the grox: Identify yourself and leave, or get blasted to bits... Basically, it is likely that they know of eachother, yet haven't interacted much. Of course, if the Combine thinks the Jum'Ari interesting they might try to contact them again. We could make a story about that. (The Jum'Ari don't tend to contact other empires. They leave them alone, mostly.)

Anyway, have a good day, Darkwarrior.
