So I think there must have been more reason than you state.

I cannot speak for ND and to the reasons they dropped the NAP. I believe it was simply to get involved on a side and they chose the Spore side due to our tighter relations.

Then every alliance in this game is a coward. p3nguins included. Having backup plans and links in politics is essential in this game. You cannot go to war without knowing how other alliances would react. I had to measure what the universe response would be to every option Spore had. Hitting p3nguins back and escalating was the best.

Already pointed out p3nguins intentionally aimed for Spore in response to our galaxy raiding including fake attacks on non-Spore in your gal raids in order to focus more on Spore.
I think the correct terminology would be that p3nguins were not really wanting war, but then even that opens up a can of worms to why p3nguins conducted itself the way it did without communication to Spore.
