Non-interactive minor civilization

So I've got this thing that I assume is a Minor Civilization, but there seems to be no way to interact with it.  Clicking on it, etc. does nothing and it doesn't show up in diplomacy.  Bug or feature?

You can attack them, but attacking their planet if there are no ships stationed won't do anything.  Their home world is a Core planet, and requires a Transport ship to invade.

The way to talk to them isn't obvious.  Click on their planet.  An informaiton box will appear at the bottom left of the galaxy screen.

Click on the green icon at the upper-right of the information box to talk to them.

I always pack a transport when attacking a planet. This time it didn't help though...

You need to talk to minors in order to declare war. You can't declare war as you move your fleets and transports to attack.

Victory gives you a high class planet with citizens. The citizens don't have pictures as of yet.

Currently, I think the rewards you get for doing their mission is more worth while than getting another planet.
