Yes, that was not the Waptoria they saw, but the Citadeleans. Though, granted, since they are a Waptoraian rebel group, uninformed outsiders (like Eldarisia) often mistake them for one and the same because they share a lot of races (but not all). Waptorian Raptoraneans actually mate for life, unlike Citadelean Raptoraneans who have no sense of commitment and only do it for the sensual pleasure.

Also the initial Waptorian hostility towards Eldarisia was due to the Waptorian relations with the Aeoneonatrix plummeting shortly beforehand, which happened when the Waptoria finally realised that they had more in opposition with them than in common. This eye-opening moment really shocked the Waptoria and got them into a temporal "all zealots expect our our allies are bad" mood.

Of course, the fact that the Waptoria does indeed share a lot of it's values with Eldarisia (unlike, say, the Mendel or the Persan) also helps.
