I know we will never visit this planet in my lifetime but im glad that the current state of technology will allow us to get a decent snapshot of this planets conditions. Within a decade or two we would know the composition of its atmosphere, its color, and if were lucky, a rudimentary map of it.
I meant that if the aliens were hostile or we responded to their pressence in a hostile manner then they could inflict serious harm on our systems with powerful spacecraft subsystems intended for peaceful purposes.
It may take time but an alien supercomputer could eventually figure out how to...
I think for the foreseeable(next 300 years) future, first contact would be extremely one sided...going something along the lines of a nuclear aircraft carrier encountering an ancient egyptian river raft. Even small alien vessels would be a significant threat... the propulsion systems would be...

The New republic is the government the rebel alliance established after they...
Wouldnt a destroyed planet show a constant dip in light rather than several intense peaks. Unless it fractured into chunks and that seems to be impossible from my knowledge.
