Racial Low TL or Not?

[jacobmuller]

Putting together some Templates and was just starting into the Disadvantages.
The first would be Low Tech Level but how Low?
Would Primitives who remain in low-tech regions be rated as Low TL -2 [-10]? Their neighbours being TL2.

There are basically three societies.
Primitives: high TL0 preying on the surrounding settlements, family groups, scavenging scraps of high-tech material but with no idea how to use such things.
Settlers: TL2 survivors with some tech know-how and tribal structure.
Campaign "Baseline": these are enclaves of TL10 post-apocalypse survivors who shun the low-tech outsiders in a "Prime Directive" way. They have starships and there are off-world colonies.
TL10 folk can choose to go live amongst the low-techs but cannot return and can take only the most basic of gear with them, eg survival air-rifle. Gain High-TL +8 [40]?
TL2 or 0 folk can fight their way past the obstacles to join their TL10 neighbours. Low Tech -8/-10 [-40/-50]?
