a game of chess, real war style

the following story was a recap of the soldiers we picked up. we had recently been deployed and we saw that the raltionts weren't there. after sevral skirmishes we found an old dart. it had the US army insignia enscribed later we found it was one of the five douth daartia. these were five super weapons named after flowers. it appeared to be a bullet desinghed for the uikolo weapon a gun capable of eating away all of any organic matter it punctered. after the raltiont rebels helped us we found that a rare crystal hid at the core of the planet. the sentinals were infact guarding the excavation as we soon found the sight. the douth ship buzzed over head. we also learned (using outdated data scanners) that the ship was crewed by alareesh 5s, a species of alien, which has  a technolegy tier of 9 meaning tribal. but how could an unadvanced race like this pilot an ancient ship that requiered a high ammount of knowledge and fast movements? the answer; it was  being flown by an ancient AI. so this meant it was vounrable to EMPs (electro magnetic pulse). we found some old EMP needles left by pontari explorers. we shot, but even when it hit the ship stayed. shortly after you picked us up.
