Out of interest are you planning to get aggressive with the Lemeresh? :)
Looks like the Keskudons might be your next obvious target...
I won the game shortly after posting this by conquering the Keskudons. They had been beating up on the Quameno and Entons and I decided to come to their aid. This was an 'epic' quick start game so I think winning in less than 10 years was pretty good.
I don't think the Lemeresh are working properly, though. They haven't been powerful in any game I've seen. Also, despite supposedly being extremely unfriendly I was able to befriend and treaty them - they were close to accepting mutual defensive treaty by the end. From their traits I also don't see how they are supposed to be a 'super' faction other than their access to the super weapon.

Thanks for the tips on these guys! I'm a new player and I initially tried playing Human, but failed miserably. I'm now playing the Ackdarians after seeing this post, and am having a great game with them!
Ackdarians are indeed very easy. Their big advantage is the rate at which they can produce colony ships - they build at a base rate of 60% faster than default *before* other bonuses apply - it really is an enormous advantage. Colony ship construction rate is usually the limiting factor to your expansion. Hence, playing them removes some roadblocks. If you don't get attacked - which I didn't in this game, due to some shrewd diplomacy - you have a very good chance of winning, with your ~40ish colonies compared to the 5-6 of other factions.
