Plot summary
Advanced aliens depart their homeworld in order to flee their stars impending nova.
Decades after the Terran Civil War the aliens arrive and attempt to colonize an inhabited human world. They are not able to recognize the intelligence of the planet's inhabitants, because they do not recognize human forms of communication as communication.
The miscommunication leads to warfare, where these new aliens throw themselves at their opponents with suicidal fury. The old "anti Bug" alliance partners join together to fight off this new threat.
gollark: I only needed relative orientation, so I was able to get away with just bodging a third-party library which supported the DMP a bit (i2cdevlib) to work on the raspberry pi in use.
gollark: So... do that? I don't see the issue.
gollark: But you can also connect the magnetometer you have.
gollark: The MPU6050 has an accelerometer + gyroscope for that, and I think it has *some* way to give you absolute orientation data through something.
gollark: And there's no way to get it to get absolute orientation using the magnetometer data too?
