This thread is filling up with more techno jargon than a federation engineer on a mixture of crack and romulan ale. So...
While everybody flies their whatchamajigits and thingamabobs, a draak satellite floats overhead, spying on the scene of carnage, explosions, and denotative confusion below. Becoming tired of the event, it opens its great underbelly and releases a single nuclear device which plummets towards the planet only to detonate in the lower ionosphere, causing a great EMP which renders all electronics and fancy doohickies inert. Now the Ryats and Cyats and harpo (hell, even the chupacabras) have to battle it out with sticks and stones and words to the glee and excitement of the draak satellite.
Dance my little puppets (except harpo, harpos aren't good at dancing)
