Well this is my strat to deal with minor races that arnt so 'minor' anymore.
AMM's and lots of em!
Drednaughts (but AMM's take less time!)
Keep them at war with other civ's while you slowly dwendal them down.
and last but not least crush them with every weapon at your disposal. not very helpful huh? But thats how i do it and it seems to work err OK but you need to keep building those AMM's as i had 5 of em distroyed by a ship without them even fireing once

You could also use them as part of your army against a major (i.e. bribing the major to attack them).
And then when their planets are ready for the taking just move those combat transport in.

Thats a good idea but they are allied with the nly other major race they arnt at war with. They seem to be taking out primaryly me as i have the most influence in the galaxy but am also sort of weak military wise. So thats why im using AMM's to deal with them right now as it is taking forever to build drednaughts so AMM's will slowly dwendal there military might down to nothing.
