I think this was phase 2 of The Lights plan. To get the strongest members of The Justice League away from earth involving the intergalatic incident long enough for them to take over Earth. With the strongest members away, it makes it that much easier for them to take over earth. I think the intergalatic incident was just a plause to send the League away. Causing destruction on the other planet was their back up plan just in case that they couldn't keep the League under their control.
