So far, all our evidence and understanding says that an intelligence that builds practical spaceships capable of going to and influencing other star system existences nowhere, that humans will likely never build such things and plausibly no other entity can either.

Life as such might be common as mold in cosmos but utterly unable to move from star to star or even broadly choose it's "destiny".
