Who says an interstellar alien will think remotely like us?
An intelligent species, favoring a lack of empathy and unsympathetic precision, becomes fiercely capitalistic. After plundering, polluting, and exploiting every edge of their world, they begin to branch out like a disease. Corporations staking claim to gas clouds and satellites to pillage. This goes on for eras, possibly constant strife and war leads to a levels of desensitization, or emotion becomes a designated thought crime. Seeing lower life as inferior and creating internment camps for local intellectual life, the civilization continues to expand unhindered raping exoplanets for all their worth, collapsing one habitable system after another.
