They don't need others to intervene; their internal reviews of similar situations are already extremely strict.

Archaeology and plunder.
The latter refers to seizing technology from some Alien races to see if it can be utilized. But this is also a matter requiring significant caution.
Deciphering Alien technology is challenging, like the technology of the Green Skins. How can humans use it? It even has weak referential value.
However, some Alien races have quite powerful technologies, like the so-called Spirit Race or smart machines.
But these technologies also face adaptability issues, and obtaining them is exceptionally difficult.
