My problem with that story is how could humans possibly "defend" against technology from a species that has mastered faster than light travel? If they wanted to destroy Earth, they could hurl large objects towards the planet at relativistic speeds.
If (Jupiter-sized if) extraterrestrials are visiting I can only imagine they see us like pets or exhibits in a zoo. Or maybe like how we observe those primitive tribes in South America. They may not be "friendly" but they certainly aren't trying to wipe out humanity.
Only thing I could speculate is that we have some amazing stuff in the black budget world
One of the greatest defeats the British Empire ever faced was at Isandlwana against the stone-age tribes of the Zulu.
The Spanish would have easily been defeated by the Aztecs if it were not for the fact that they exploited a Civil War.
There are multiple instances of European colonists getting wiped out by Native American tribes.
Even the Viking's attempt to colonize Newfoundland was abandoned.
Do not underestimate a primitive enemy's desire to pick a fight, and do not over-estimate a superior belligerent's commitment to winning one.
If a random trade vessel was greeted by a salvo of Earth based nuclear missiles, the people that that trade vessel represented would fuck off rather quickly.
That's all fine and your points are well taken for those scenarios. Your random trade vessel just wanted to trade. If we were using captured alien technology that makes it perfectly believable that we could stand toe to toe with them in "legitimate combat." My understanding of Solar Warden had come from a story long ago (and I can't find it now) that alleged the aliens are trying to wipe out humanity and the secret program was in operation to prevent that. Something like Stargate SG1. The British were not trying to genocide the Indians no matter what Indians claim, and I do believe the Spanish could have easily killed all The Aztecs had they set their minds to it and sent more than an expeditionary force. That's again ignoring that once you have FTL you can probably destroy a planet without any fighting at all.
But now I can't find anything about Solar Warden being anything but a secret military space program interacting with 'non-terrestrial officers'. No details about what they were doing beyond that. The most I can find is a HuffPost story from 2012 and nobody should be reading HuffPost. So it looks like I was mistaken and arguing with a strawman. Please forget what I said.
I don't really know what Solar Warden is. My only point was that violence-of-action is always a major force multiplier when technology is not on your side.
