I think surrendering would be quite a lark. Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so, how you get the opportunity?
I surrender, mighty $NAME1,

I don't think you can surrender, no. But as for surrendering in general, I've come to wonder whether the AI has any sense of what is worthwhile whatsoever. After a war with Yang once, whereas I had several times told him to bugger off when he offered me technology and/or energy tokens to make peace with him, he finally decided to give up it seemed. Literally falling to his knees and snivelling he offered to give me ALL his tech ( 0 new ) and ALL his credits ( 9 ) if I would only spare his life and let him serve me ( pact ). Somehow I didn't feel I needed to oblige his great offering...

When other factions swear a pact for the sake of licking your boots, that means that the game will see it as your victory. You don't need to worry about them as they will never bother you again (just don't let them get too powerful (or they'll forget your deal with them).
Besides, the extra vote in planetary council can really help you in becoming supreme leader (if you are after a diplomatic victory). I was once using the University. The Peacekeepers and Gaians both swore pacts quite willingly. The Morgans and the Spartans were eradicated, and we were all at war with the Hive and the Believers (who were at war with each other too). I forced Yang to surrender, thus making a pact with him. I pretty much repeated the process with Miriam. Because I had a pact with everyone left, I'd won a diplomatic victory.
Another example is when I was the Gaians, the Peacekeepers and University each had a pact with me. I forced Morgan to surrender and forced Miriam to surrender. Even though Yang and Santiago were against me, I still held the majority I needed to win the Supreme Leader election in Planetary Council.
And about the player surrendering to the AI... Its pointless. If I were forced to do so, I'd simply rebuild my hordes of mind worms and overthrow the oppressors whom I was forced to serve.

Usually the Computer just accepts your peace trms anyway.
