If the ELS ever made contact with another species, the most likely outcome will be assimilation, just like what the ELS attempted to do to Humanity. Otherwise, if there was a species who successfully made contact and made peace with the ELS, then there would have been no point to the ELS-Human War because the ELS would have stayed with the other alien species.

Mental interfacing with technology, quantum teleportation, beam weapons, advanced cloning, space travel, optical camouflage, nanotechnology, regenerative medicine, quantum processing and quantum communications is definitely not "low tech".

I can give dozens of examples from other sci-fi series that are far into the future and have yet to reach technological levels such as this. But I'll only give a few.

00 has Quantum Travel. Quantum Travel is possibly one of the most technological advancements ever achieved. Hands down. Why? Instantaneous Travel. Quantum Travel has no limiting range, and can potentially reach anywhere with the correct coordinates. You are ignoring the fact that Setsuna traveled to the ELS Homeworld instantly. For all we know, the ELS Homeworld could be located in the farthest reaches of the Galaxy.

Conventional Space Travel, and/or FTL (Faster Than Light), is leagues behind Quantum Teleportation/Travel because while QT is practically instantaneous whereas FTL can take hours, days, weeks, months, and even years for a person to reach their intended destination.
 * Warhammer 40k: In a story that takes place in the year 40,000. FTL Travel in this universe can be take days or even months or years to reach a planet.
 * Star Wars: Even in the supremely technologically advanced Star Wars Universe, there is no indication of them ever reaching instantaneous travel. Space Travel for them can approximately take a few hours up to a few days, but never to the extent of Gundam 00.

Quantum Communication is low tech? By alien standards? How? The ELS use Quantum Communication! How is instantly communicating with each other through vast distances (light years, one side of the Galaxy to the other in mere seconds) low tech? That is pretty darn advanced I tell you. I bring up Wingstrike's example of the ELS stopping their attack on Earth. They stopped their attack almost instantly after Setsuna made contact with the ELS, presumably light years away.

Barring the Cosmic Era, and the Turn A series (before their apocalyptic collapse), 00 is by far the most advanced timeline there is.
