* Once upon a time, we (GURPSnet) had a lengthy debate on how to invade Yrth from Earth, and what to bring along. That scenario assumed the Templars knew how to 'gate' several ships from Earth to Yrth, and that they had a rough idea what to expect.
If you can give me some time, I can look up a couple of 3E vehicles. * Both GURPS Traveller with known psionics and Stargate with all sorts of weird powers are not your generic 'magic meets tech'. Your typical 20th century transportee should dismiss all that magic as superstitious nonsense. Both Traveller guys and SG troops will acknowledge the existence of some sort of weird 'ESP powers'. From there, it isn't far to the belief that rune-inscribed pentagrams DO help, even if that is rationalized as 'a pattern to focus your inherent psi resistance' ... * I've never read Darkover. The Foreigner series (seven books now IIRC) is pretty 'hard' SF, except for the inevitable FTL drive. Humans and aliens are not interfertile, and even alien food is often toxic.
