Our first contact will be with a peaceful race and once they share their technology with us we will quickly adapt it to wartime use and eradicate them, or put them on a reservation planet.

You are aware that any species that travels in space is their home world's "Apex Predator", and always travels well armed.
Some will be the "guy who never starts fights, and always 'finishes' them". Your peaceful species is likely the most dangerous.
You've probably never observed large male wolves up close like I have. The largest, most powerful of them are the gentlest, most loving, and caring. They have a way of showing their great strength and powerful ability without demonstrations of "combat prowess".

Not true whatsoever.
According to your logic, if we were to steal one of their ships and figure how it works than we would be the Apex Predator.
Actual technology does not make you dangerous, its the morals behind its use that does. Look at the American Revolution where the colonists should have had no chance to beat the British but they did, one of the biggest underdog stories in history.

I have a deep field photo set as my background on my desk top. To remind me each time I am at my desk, I can look at millions of worlds, and suns! Its really amazing to be able to see that and think deeply on that notion. It really is the best disclosure we are going to get any time soon. As those of us who are ready, already know there is life as we know it, and life as we do not know it. The universe is a life form itself. What lays beyond our tiny universe is a whole new set of parameters.
Our universe could be one molecule, in a gemstone set in the necklace of some greater being living in its own universe, that is one molecule in a mote of sand on a beach..ect ect
