I get the feeling that the 11th memory represents a silencing in order to avoid committing further lives/resources toward a cause that grew beyond all reasonable control. While civil war is possible, i find it unlikely due to the fact that the caverns on SR388 remained sealed after event portrayed in this memory; had civil war been a driving factor, i would think that the chozo military forces that landed on SR388 would have drained the caverns in order to continue gathering aeion for their own objectives (followed by them being wiped out by the metroids and leaving the caverns in an accessible state after their demise...). however, the caverns remained sealed until the arrival of Samus, leading me to believe that internal conflict amongst differing chozo factions is not what the final memory represents. Additionally, in the 10th memory, it must be noted that, while there may be a large formation of chozo warriors in the background, the only dialogue occuring in the image is between one of the six overseers and the authority figure who is presumeably commander for the newly arrived forces (meaning he is the only individual amongst the new forces to know of the full situation on SR388). This, coupled with the absence of the original forces that accompanied the overseers (presumeably all sacrificed as they held back the metroids during the sealing of the caverns, as seen in the 9th memory), makes me believe that the authority figure who arrived in the 10th memory took advantage of an opportunity to seal the truth of what happened at SR388, save his warriors from the same fate as those who had arrived before, and mete out retribution for the preceding warriors that had been lost by executing the sole surviving overseers. With this, a fabricated truth was created to cover the actual events that took place and all chozo forces were withdrawn from SR388 in the hopes that the planet and its lethal inhabitants would fade to obscurity on their own. Thats my take on the 11th Memory
