Andoria - there's no need to worry about dust, no self propelled spaceship will every be able to achieve relativistic speeds even using anti-matter. The energy/mass/conversion efficiency sums just don't add up! This is why the Fermi paradox is nonsense, the aliens sensibly decided to stay at home rather than die on an interminably long journey.
they could still send robots.... also, there is no idea how long they would live. Assuming that they exist for discussion purposes.... Their individual lifetime could be thousands of years.
