Are you sure we should risk embarrasing Elvis by showing his friends what he got up to on holiday?
Regardless, this should be a very positive development. While the Eridani system hostiles may be precursors, I think they highlighted just how far behind the rest of the galaxy we are. My own game experiments show that tech levels in key areas make disproportionate differences. For the near future we're best off leveraginf off the Charlies, using them as a shield and grabbing all the tech we can off them. In the meanwhile, we build up our capabilties to stand up for ourselves.
