    On the other hand, they might be sensible enough to have banned nukes, so our weapons would be more powerful than theirs.

    Also, it seems unlikely to me that life that evolved totally separately from us would be biologically similar enough for our diseases to transfer between us

      There’s literally nothing sensible about banning nukes when you’re spacefaring and not chained to a single wonky biosphere.

        Not if they’re something alien like silicon based life, or maybe their carbon chains are right handed (I think ours are left handed, if not, reverse that)
