Welcome to Dave's Galaxy and welcome to the forum! I can't seem to find you, but I think you should also be close to Adriddae (he's brown-orange, south of drugmrgarrison).
Hiya and thank you! It's good to be here. I am now yellow colored.
I did find Ariddae and he is to my east about 4 sector grids. I have my own quiet little sector to myself, so I think I'll try colonizing these empty planets quickly before I'm noticed by someone large and mean.
