please just help me - I only remember BotF, that disputed territories were part of diplomacy.
Well i read here
http://gaming.trekcore.com/birthofthefe ... torial.pdf search "n6 and o5".
As i know there is program code in BotE to calculate which sektor is the one empire or the other. But i think there's no function for "disputed" and "part of the diplo offer to pay a price".
Bad news for you i think :-(
In BotE maybe difficult because galaxy map is bigger than BotF so there would be more disputed areas as in BotF
