They did -- alright. All things considered. They didn't have the resources to really make use of what they had access to, so no devastating misused weapons of war so much as an entire population of people that just see some alien temple and think it's as much part of the background as the mountains.

[ Though all that ridiculous alien tech is still going to be relevant, unfortunately. ]

Still not the best recipe for political stability. Civil war broke out -- the Federal Army of Chorus, and the New Republic. Old blood that tried to get everything in their perilous situation under control, and the inevitable rebellion that'd result in response to it.[ A slight sigh. ] We crash landed onto the planet, right into the middle of that.
