An alien civilization capable of constructing free-orbiting energy collectors but apparently incapable of doing it in more than one system.
Perhaps the secret of traveling from one star to another is that it simply can't be done.
Or perhaps because they only need to do so on one star?
Besides, there's a lot of things that "couldn't be done", proven wrong as time goes on. Yeah, some things are unrealistic, but it's relatively - depends on how long you're looking at in travel between the stars.
Who knows, we'll have to see what that radio dish detects whenever they have it set up.
