Space travel is mostly uninteresting to most organisms that are more intelligent than humans.
Also being perfectly eusocial might be more effective.
Also intelligence might be really hard to increase after a certain point without being eusocial and having competition.
If they were smart they'd find and practice methods on becoming even smarted to the nth degree until they find things we don't know like maybe infinite energy, zero summing from elder scrolls like talos, or the dwemer, new dimensions, computer parts that are functionally smaller than subatomic particles, using black holes, I dunno.
At that point of intelligence it would be retarded for me to even attempt to emulate what they know or think.
They might just commit suicide or somethign who fucking knows.
maybe their orbit is too dirty and they killed themselves.
The entire thought experiment is kind of retarded.
