Guys,
     The picture you paint is not a pretty one.   With the 'K' on
all sides of the human area the future of the human race is not in 
doubt.	 We're DOOMED!!!     
     If the effect you are trying for is the 'K' as a type of
'pirate' race that shows up for a raid now and again, the 
concept of 'fleets' and taking systems cannot be justified.
     In game terms the 'K' should have a base or area of 
operations to allow the strikes/raids into human space.   
The other VERY necessary concept is to leave the possibility of
other alien races open.   The 'K' may have more than one enemy
in this area of space and this will allow the players to design
'alien' races of thier own.

Bye for now,
John L.
