Heh, certainly not. There's a reason the Imperium chronically underestimate their younger oppononents and thus send inferior fleets against them that their opponents are (sometimes quite easily) able to rout though not destroy - but the routing alone is enough for the Imperium to see it's younger foe them as strong enough to live in this universe and thus worthy of existance. They won't bother fighting them again and will simply return to fighting their traditional opponents unless the younger nation comes after them to seek retaliation against the War-Imperial attack.

The Waptoria, again, will simply protect their allies, and not attack anyone who didn't attack them or their allies first.
