Locals are TL 4- and all attempts to codify why higher tech doesn't work causes disasters. Variant physics of an unknown nature means that it's probably best and fastest to use agents specialized in such low tech/magic.
Find enough of them and you get a whole classification: DF myth parallels. Maybe metagaming and working backwards from what you want, but it makes perfect sense for an Infinity setting.
