I was enjoying my 2nd game on MOO earlier, when I got a news report saying that genocide had occured at the last human colony{me}, and that my dude was dead. I hadn't even met an alien race yet, let alone a ship{actually, their was a Darlock scout nearby, but that was the only alien ship I ever saw on map} I had two planets, and my 1st colony was 1 turn away from a guardian planet. Is this a glitch of some sort, or do those guardians love invading neighbors? I never saw a battle sequence, though, I just got a news report saying that I had been genocided. And I was near 2 terran planets, too; the second one was just about to be colonized!
Lost game, before contact with aliens.

Are you sure the GNN was not talking about the race called Human? There is no genocide event, so it means someone killed off that race.
This would not have happen to you, without you seeing it occur.

It's weird; I had no contact with any aliens yet{I was playing as human} and I saw the GNN report that the last human colony had been destroyed, and that my leader dude was dead. No battle sequences. No nothing. It just happened; without me ever seeing a single transport! Heck, I had two planets at the time!
This might explain it, when you incorrectly answer the copy protection (ship names) a GNN report of genocide (your empire) pops up on the next turn. You get (3) tries to get it right, after that it's game over and even the 'continue' save is deleted.
Jon Sullivan's site has the codes here;

After awhile you will recognize the ship names without any help but it's ALWAYS a good idea to pull those codes out on that third and final try.
Other then that, there's no game-ending glitch thats commonly known.
Also, the Guardian never leaves the Orion system and you will always see a battle sequence, aside from some random events. (comets & pirates etc.)

OH yeah, I forgot that. It was a copy protection scheme from 1993. it was trying to stop you from copying the game and not buying it.
The manual gave the reference with the ships names. Most of us had them memorized. I get one wrong now and them, but you get three tries.
