Diplomacy in Star Legation?

Yes, the Star Legation is intended to be a purely peaceful, diplomatic mission, and in some cases it will be. However, keep in mind that several of the aliens are at war with each other, and you must travel into their territories and talk to their leaders. You'll need to convince each alien leader to send a representative from their race with you to be a part of the Interstellar Union. Diplomacy will be a part of the visual novel game, but there will be a number of situations that involve starship combat and personal combat, depending on your choices in the game. Peace is rarely won without some conflict, but battle will only be a part of the game. Most of the time, you will need to be managing the relationships of your alien crew members. Each new legate (representative) that joins your crew will throw a different dynamic into the mix. Keep in mind that your choices will affect the way each of your crew feels about you, which can have an endgame effect!
