Each story, article or other entry in this collection is preceded by an auctorial introduction. The introduction to "Strangers" informs us that:
this story is about the inhabitants of another planet;
it is hard sf, assuming nothing currently regarded as physically impossible;
although human beings have travelled to an extra-solar planet, they do not necessarily have FTL;
they might instead have utilized time dilation, suspended animation or something else.
In other words, this story might fit into one of Anderson's STL future histories:
Rustum
Directorate
Kith
In any case, the story is entirely about conditions on a particular planetary surface and we have posted about it before. See:
