When an E.T race becomes capable of utilizing the amount of energy it would take to do interstellar travel in a reasonable amount of time, they can probably, accidently, or on purpose, use that energy to cause a lot of damage to a planet.

For example, an interstellar traffic accident at near light speed of a sufficiently massive object would cause a lot of damage to a planet.

Destroying a planet doesn’t seem like a big deal for space fairing civilization. Honestly there’s much more room and resources outside surfaces of planets
