That's true but as you said, it is unlikely he did that. Starting NPR, most likely.That or they ran a sufficiently aggressive exploration program to hit the threshold in that timeframe. I could see that being possible, especially if running jump-capable survey ships?
If you do not start with any NPRs, then Sol is safe until you start exploring. The only way to have aliens sneak into Sol if you have not started to explore yet, is to start with an NPR at game start and be unlucky enough that one of them then finds their way into Sol.There's a certain threshold that might be possible to set to zero that could change that? But I doubt the OP did that.
