Pre-FTL in my boarders

[Eccentric Gentleman]

I started exploring the systems in my territory and found an industrial age civlization in the same system as a planet I would like to colonize.
I've read that once sutch a civlization learns FTL travel they become an AI empire.
But what happens if it's a planet inside your own empire or a system you've already colonized?
I've read they become an enclave, but what does that mean?
Also, do these primitives count as one of the AI empires whose numbers you set at the beginning?

Sir, we can't beat them, they're already inside of our boarders!

If they're really close/inside your borders, you can normally immediately protectorate or vassalize them once they achieve FTL status. Protectorate>vassalize>integrate is my preferred way of dealing with late blooming empires that pop up within my space.

lategame it takes them forever to achieve just 40% of your tech for that vassal status imo.

It used to be a lot worse before they buffed the research bonus protectorates get.

I had a empire pop up in another empires border who got scary quickly as they had Fallen Empire equivalent tech. They ate the other empire from the inside out! Then of course began eyeing their nieghbors. Took over half the galaxy they did.

♥♥♥♥ a pre-FTL!

Jokes aside what to do with minor civ depends on ethos.

Xenophiles should make protectorates as influence is so good.

Xenophobes should invade and purge anything that is in 60-80% habitability range.

For all others its situational. Culture shock is barely relevant. Put pops in irrelevant tiles and move your pops there, or use immigration edict.
