I got to wonder... before the Alterans came to the Milky Way, there was little life in that galaxy, right?
Realistically, it seems hard to see how there could be so many inhabitable planets, with parameters which so closely match those of Earth.
I'm not even counting the fauna and flora which are very similar.
So, I suppose the Alterans settled on Earth, then developped their civilization and started creating more worlds suitable to life, by removing or adding the necessary mass to certain planets in other systems, until parameters would be very close to Earth.
The planets would be placed in the life zone (moving them on the correct orbit).
If necessary, a proper sun would be created as well.
Then they transplanted a lot of the lifeforms from Earth on these otherworlds, as well as seeding a few other worlds which wouldn't be strictly Earth-like, which through millions of years of evolution, would lead to the couple of alien species we've met, like the Serrakins, the Reo'le, the Foothold ones, etc.
It could even be possible that the Nox, Asgards and Furlings are different evolutions of the same seeds. That is very speculative of course, and even a tad too alteran-centric to my tastes. But it does work.
