When the Kohr-Ah annihilate the Arilou'laleelay, their influence sphere disappears from the starmap, but the Arilou homeworld remains intact, as does the natural quasispace portal.

	It is possible to gain 5 months of extra time before game-over, if you send the Ilwrath to fight the Thraddash at the right time: about a month before the Thraddash are to be annihilated by the Kohr-Ah. For five months, the Kohr-Ah keep chasing after the Ilwrath, whose influence sphere keeps moving at an abysmal rate. Every day, the Kohr-Ah reach the spot where the Ilwrath were yesterday, but because the center of Ilwrath influence sphere is now ''slightly'' in a different place, the assault is rescheduled for the next day. As a consequence, during those five months, the Kohr-Ah do not annihilate anyone. A similar quirk probably can happen with the Mycon, but not as prolonged.

The Pkunk migration may also cause this to happen for 6 months, if you visit their homeworld the first time [[Getting_Pkunk_ships\|a little over 6 months]] before they are scheduled to be annihilated. It is unknown if the migration stops when the Yehat are annihilated.

	If you are in the home system of a race the day they are scheduled to be annihilated, the assault does ''not'' get postponed, unlike many other events in the game. The solar system may have warships of that race, and as long as you do not leave, those ships will remain after the annihilation. It is therefore possible to make an alliance with the Orz, for example, after they have been annihilated. For the Umgah, this brings up a particularly morbid joke:		If you are in the home system of a race the day they are scheduled to be annihilated, the assault does ''not'' get postponed, unlike many other events in the game.

	The Kohr-Ah will attack the various species starting with the [[Druuge]] and sequentially converging upon the center of the closest [[Sphere of Influence]] to their current location (traveling at 15.8 standard HyperSpace distance units per day), and instantly annihilating any race whose Sphere of Influence they reach. Note that they determine their next target ~~when~~ they ~~annihilated~~ the ~~last~~ one; they don't adjust their destination until they reach the original target coordinates.		The Kohr-Ah will attack the various species starting with the [[Druuge]] and sequentially converging upon the center of the closest [[Sphere of Influence]] to their current location (traveling at 15.8 standard HyperSpace distance units per day), and instantly annihilating any race whose Sphere of Influence they reach. Note that they determine their next target after they annihilate the previous one; they don't adjust their destination until they reach the original target coordinates. So if a race migrates during that window, the Kohr-Ah will readjust their destination daily based on that race's last known position.

	If everyone is in their starting position, the order is as follows: [[Druuge]], [[Mycon]], [[VUX]], [[Orz]], [[Spathi]], [[Zoq-Fot-Pik]], [[Umgah]], [[Arilou]], [[Thraddash]], [[Supox]], [[Utwig]], [[Yehat]], [[Pkunk]], [[Ilwrath]], [[Human]]s.

	Once the Kohr-Ah reach [[Earth]], the game is lost and they broadcast news of their victory to [[The Captain]]. This happens somewhere in the fourth quarter of 2159 (or 2160, if the extra year was gained).
