Strange Wormhole situation

[Kamarov086]

The Strange Wormhole appeared in the capital of a friendly empire, I sent a research ship to see if I can get to the Crystal Rift but it just says that some outside force is blocking our passage, what to do?

That's what I'm saying dude idk what to do either

To my knowledge only the empire that unlocks the crystal rift has the ability to pass through it. Can't poach it.

you can only explore rifts if they are on your territory
you can conquer system with crystal rift at least before owner will finish Crystal Sphere situation
not sure though what happens after that
and even less sure what happens if enemy will start exploring it
