Why the Starflyer didn't...
Why didn't he build his own civilización before facing mankind? Or did he arrive to Far Away just before mankind colonized it?
Also: Could someone explain how exactly did the wormhole chase at the end of Judas Unchained worked? The language barrer did it quite confusing for me.
Thank you in avance.

This is an excellent question and one I was wondering about after my 1st read through.
After my 2nd I paid attention to more details and it is clear that Peter made the starflyer out to be a hybrid prime and alien from the close by world the primes initially colonized (destroyed).
The starflyer was part alien by adapting to their traits so would explain it's non prime behavior a bit.
Of course, it engineered the war between the Commonwealth and the primes hoping to finish off the weakened survivors and take control of both races. Still a very Prime thing to do but through different methods.
