Who attacks who?

Has anyone developed a matrix showing which NPC Groups will attack each other and which will remain neutral to each other?

Many thanks

I don't have a nice table but I do have a rule of thumb: everyone attacks everyone except for when they fall into the friendly/hostile rules of a player faction (FED/KDF species, which matters more for the various KDF client factions). The exception to these are the rogue groups (who attack everyone regardless) and recently added allies (republic, collective, benthan) who I believe are friendly to both FED and KDF species.

If all else fails, test, but I haven't yet encountered an unexpected rule where, for hypothetical example, the Tholians have signed a non-aggression treaty with the Hirogen and the Borg now consider Cardassians their new BFF's. It should be largely intuitive.

I've found that to be generally true as well. Even so, a reference might come in handy for this. After all, there's little point in reinventing the wheel

I can confirm that the Benthans are friendly to the standard Klingon groups.

Elachi, Iconian Heralds, the Tal Shair Romulans, and Vaudwar will not fight eachother.

In the past there have been some rather illogical exceptions, Voth and Devidians come to mind.
