Well, in sort, Cyrannian decided to revive gigaquadrant-wide wars, something I can only approve. This was what I had in mind for my empires:

The Xeranbha, who have created the war, could quite easily infiltrate the Imperium of War, and use them as their pawns. As they wish to spread war, it is possible the Imperium even cooperates willingly. Caligustus would quite likely flee to the Powers as those unseen take over and spur the Imperium to go on an rampage not seen singe their wars with the Troodontids.

The Waptoria become more communistic as they start to feel threatened, as the Craving Artists, an pleasure-seeking sect formerly incorporated into the Waptoria, now tries to take them over. The UAE kicks up mercenary bands with scour the gigaquadrant in a bloody search for answers as the UAE's own fleets are unable to deal with all problems around them. Some Nations in the UAE threaten to leave, such as the Holon Nation and the MSC, with suddenly find themselves under attack from both the Imperium, the Cyber Collective, and the Mutran Spiders.

Since most of this war is about creating unlikely, if temporal, alliances, I'd suggest that Caligustus, the Powers and the Enlightenment Alliance team up to keep the Imperium in line. Furthermore, the Shadow Hunters might use all the chaos and instability to strike profitable deals, with some being more out of control than others..
