If two races that evolved on different planets met - wouldn't simple contact likely be fatal for both sides due to bacterial and viral contamination?
After all - we teem with microbes that we are immune to - but an alien wouldn't have that immunity.
Meet, shake hands, dead within hours....
Kinda makes "live long and prosper" moot.
In an old LucasArts game called The Dig one of the characters of that game mentions that any alien life would not have evolved to take advantage of other alien life because they didn't evolve together, making any contact between alien species safe, sorta.
