I declared war on the hivemind FE because i needed to take them out before late game reached and they awoken.

I was doing ok until they wiped out my whole fleet. Now they are invading my space and i got nothing to fight them back until they respawn.

I only have like 6 - 7 years until late game hits and they awaken. How do i come back from this situation and wipe them out? I have a colossus that uses neutron sweep.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that im using the "wipe them out" casus belly. I cant surrender or do status quo peace at all.

Also im on under one rule origin so even if i could surrender im not going to cuz im afraid they will kill my lvl 10 luminary.

R5: I did the Rubricator quest first and got my scientist killed. Then a few years later i was able to find the last artifact for the First League precursor and their home planet appeared literally right next to the rubricator world.

Both planets are size 25 and 100% habitable, i just gotta do a little... pest control. 4.3 btw.
