That otherworldly beings should first grace us with their presence is a sign. Indeed, they understand that we─the Global Community─are possessed of the wisdom and compassion needed to guide this star back to the path of righteousness!
Yet the Freedom Fighters dare to undermine us, inviting chaos to disrupt the order we labored so hard to build. They have forgotten the history of this star and its once myriad nations. The wars waged, the countless lives lost...

They must to be brought to heel, the world united under a single standard, no matter the cost.
However, about the Eas.

During the post-Hermes encounter cutscene:

And then during the explanations ofthe Eas about the end of their world.

Apparently, the same Final Days event befell them when they were still "alive". Despair has existed for a long time on Etheirys, but it stopped manifesting blasphemies since Zodiark was summoned.
I can't remember if it's during Venat's cutscene with the other where we expplain everything, or in Radz-at-Han, but someone mentioned that the influence that triggered this cataclysm was coming from outside : we know it to be Meteion.

Ergo, Meteion has met this race, then at some point the Final Days happened, and she was able to recreate them at a point in time after this cataclysm occured. So it must have had happened during her time here. While they were already disillusioned and willing to die, she triggered it at least on this star, which means it could have happened on others.
What if, then, she visited a star not yet decided to die, like Etheirys, but then triggered the Final Days here too? She'd take from that that despair and fear is also prevalent, and it would only increase her despaired world count.

We don't have the full report, not even Hermes has it.

Edit: Oh and if Deneb III is not their world, they at least witnessed it on a world they knew about, and still had living beings.
