In my current game I just found an outpost of a civilization that had already surrendered all its ships to me, so they could have moved their capital. Though since I have seen outposts popping out of nowhere already, it could in theory also be that this one spawned later, but two things speak against that. Firstly I have never witnessed an outpost spawning when a civilization was really defeated - they do not seem to come 'back from the grave'. Secondly I am relatively sure that I already found the outpost before and just chose to ignore it back then, because at that time it was peace, and the thing was around another star far away from conflict too, which would have prevented it from becoming involved when the war started.
