Hiromi
The following is an excerpt from a datafile that was found under a pile of dirty socks in the quarters of a former assistant to Admiral Ackbar. According to its masking tape label, it is entitled, "I, Hirog."
"Truly the time is upon us! In my hearts I know that nothing can stop us now! The glory of the Hiromi is assured!
"Silently, we have moved down through the ages, unnoticed or beaten into submission by cruel fate. But we are the Hiromi, and the millennia of planning and hiding have finally borne fruit. You humans, with your empires and alliances, have been lulled into a false sense of complacency. No one has ever known that we were among you... until now.
"For now is the time to strike! We will seize world after world and forge a mighty Hiromi federation of planets! Supremacy is our destiny, for we are Hiromi and no one will dare to stop us!
"And, um, just in case someone does dare to stop us, we'll only try to conquer a few small worlds for ourselves that no one wanted anyway. And in the meantime, we should also continue to be loyal members of the Alliance of Free Planets just in case. And then, if no one is looking, the glorious age of Hiromi conquest will begin!
"Then we will let out a hearty cheer of triumph, and then we will... um... we could cheer again. And then I guess we'll have lunch."
