This story has several themes. There is the obvious science fiction element, the world-building. You do that well. However, world-building without an underlying message is shallow. Here you follow the example of great imaginative writers (ex: Orwell) who present a fiction world within a well-developed universe, but this world exists in service of something larger. You address human nature. You address the warring history of humans throughout time. You present a conflict with a poor prognosis for positive outcome. Will the naive extraterrestrials regret the decision to call humans into their conflict? Will humans even engage?
Your story transcends the specific scene presented in the narrative. Good job.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. We appreciate that you engage with other writers in the community.
Thanks @theinkwell. That are kinks I need to iron out but hopefully it'll take shape.
@wesphilbin and @killerwot take a look at this.
