I recall mentions of our own solar system going through a bombardment stage at some point a couple billion years ago with tidal disruption of asteroids/comets being the best explanation.

If everything in the Tabby system is orbiting in the same general direction I would not expect so much activity of the scale they seem to be seeing.
