Apparently the fallen have 'fallen from grace' and seemed to be a once great empire.
Which sounds a lot like what happened to the humans; what if the fallen empire had been hit by the darkness (5th race, pyramid ships .etc), and are trying to get to the traveller to revitalise their old homeworlds?
In which case I will feel really bad for killing em :(

Would you feel bad if some one Baught a hot dog and droped it on the floor and you being starving tryed to pick it up only to get shot at by the original owner .. If you had a weapon would you not shoot back .. I'm sorry my friend but in the wild it's sirvival of the fittest.
