I don't know that just tickles me for some reason :)
Remember that there is still time dilation in space travel in my story, these small colonies easily become more primitive when they are settled. They might know about the technology but cannot yet not rebuild them.
This colony has their rudimentary Wireless service and they know how to use radio and some other things, Procter came from Zenith and he built the ADEW with parts from his little ship. Which I forgot to mention in the story.
Second draft is going to be better I think.
