Neutrals outside of their system

I am currently engaged in a game (v1.19 no mods) and I just noticed a neutral ship outside of it's system. I thought that neutrals didn't know about warp points. Has any one else seen this before?

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

I've never noticed it, but I guess if you or an AI gift them a ship not in their solar system it could happen.

I seem to remember seeing a neutral ship outside it's system. It was a dreadnought and was latter in the game. But the ship still didn't stop me from invading them.

i traded a neutral some ships for some stuff once. the ships i gave them were out side their system, and they were able to cruise around in them.

I got hit with an "event" once that sent one of my ships halfway across the quadrant. I wonder if that is what happened to your Neutrals.

A neutrals ship targeted a ship of mine and followed through a warp point once. Quite a surprise to my crew it was too.
