I think you're a bit confused. This war (and the power station on the moon) wasn't to defeat the Dornia...they had already done that long ago, and enslaved the Dornia and turned them into skitters (and more).

No, I don't think I'm wrong. That one Espheni (Scorch) (back in season 4) told Tom that they built that power station to power a war machine to fight and enemy that they feared far more than the Volm or the human resistance (the Dornia).

Here is what the wiki page that you linked says about it:

The Espheni Overlord Scorch informs Tom Mason that the Espheni's reasons for their intergalactic expansion lies with their race being in constant pursuit by a dangerous force who they fear more than resistance or even the Volm.[4]

The construction of the Espheni Power Station on Earth's moon served as a weapon they intended to use to power their war machine against the arrival of the Dornia. It's destruction left Espheni occupational forces on Earth in severe disarray, allowing Volm reinforcements to return to Earth to assist the resistance, while also allowing the Dornia to enter Earth's solar system and it's surrounding star systems. A member of the Dornia race intercepts Tom Mason's captured beamer as it is sent hurling away from Earth at tremendous speed.[5]
