I take a way more neutral view of things: yes, Providence was protecting the planet, from the player, but the player is not some part of some evil invasion force. They're a merc hired by the Interstellar postal service to protect the cargo from raiders, aliens, etc.

If they wanted to kill off everything, then the monster logs you get wouldn't be so sympathetic towards everything that wasn't psycho hostile like the imps. The teleporter may have either been manufactured by providence (he CAN teleport) or was on the ship from some earlier expedition (maybe the bloated survivors?) and was just on its way to its destination. Perhaps to be studied, so humanity, or some other group, could learn more about teleportation tech. It was mentioned in the imp's log that they had never managed to do it.

Point being: hahaha no. PC isn't the bad guy, they're a neutral entity just trying to escape from a planet that is trying to kill them single mindedly.
