However, it's still not a plan without benefits even with our knowledge; even if no planet is immune, Etheirys is being very specifically targeted by Meteion, to a degree so precise that its moon is spared. Traveling to another planet actually would avoid the worst of it, even if it wouldn't avoid all of it.
We also know from the new Omega quests that there's pan-galactic civilisation with a galactic language that are able to send messages to space, and from the Hildibrand questlines we know that aliens like PuPu exist. It's not all dead outside of Eitheirys.
