Well, in contrast to the Zortigians, when the Crystalline race established a base on a planet once they got permission to the planet's leader, they don't enslave or exterminate; they just adapt and live there, with their only purpose is obtaining resources from the planet. Sometimes, the Crystallines will even give the planet protection from enemy aliens, especially from the Zortigians.

In my eyes, the Zortigians see the Crystallines their only real competition.
