Vanishing Races

So I've had no problems with the game since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. However, recently when I've made new games races have just been up an vanishing leaving me to sole race in the galaxy. Not much fun to play by yourself. I've noticed that it usually happens after a UP event or at least I think it does. I'll go into the relations tab and I'll be the only race in there. Is this a normal facet of the game? Did I box the other races out of the game somehow? Mind you this was happening 20-40 minutes into new games with all settings on normal so I wasn't very far in. Suggestions? Any one else have this issue?

Races won't show up in the diplomacy screen unless you have met said race. It's also possible to only show major races or all races with a toggle on the top of the screen.

Having a UP event doesn't count at "meeting" them? So then once you get that first message from other races such as "Hail, (insert race here) greetings blah blah blah" would be the first encounter then?

No the UP does not count as meeting them. Think of a UN meeting where there might be countries that you have no idea where or who they are. You need to actually meet them to interact with them
