Meh I think any race that had to compete for survival and has the imagination to build a death star has probably self destructed or will before being able to build it. The fermi paradox isn't a paradox at all, we ate just doomed, we've been here for hundreds of thousands of years, only in the past 100 we've been sending rockets to space, and we already have the capacity to self destruct entirely and probably will soon enough. So maybe the cosmic joke is that to grow you have to compete but competing also kills you, and maybe it's a certain fate for all species that grow enough to imagine themselves conquering the stars, or maybe I'm just that pessimistic.
