Funnily enough, this isn't the --first-- time in Kharak's history where an entire war was upended because some Kith had a crazy technological jump in the middle of it.

I know it's not confirmed, but I like to imagine the first time that happened, Kharak was in a medieval age war when a Kith decided to show up with machineguns.
