ja'e lo xlamau mi ze'a lo masti be li ji'ixa cu
de'a sai lumci lo mi flira fo lo mokau jisygau

To make things worse, I pretty much stopped washing
my face with any kind of cleanser for about six months.

"To make things worse" is an added piece of information; ja'e is a causative.

WRT:

le kulnu be lo pruxa'u natmi cu ze'u pu'o daspo canci

The culture of the indigenous peoples was for a long
time on the verge of being eradicated.

Very minor: pu'o alone doesn't say "on the verge of" to me. "pu'o zi", perhaps?

WRT:

mi'a ponse le kesma'e noi pa'arcau selcfi i ky traji lo ka malkelci
kei la starflit i lo matra za'o po'urbi'o i lo santa za'o fliba

Here we had this hopeless lemon of a starship - the biggest
piece of shit in Starfleet: engines that kept breaking down,
shields that kept failing.

To me, "kept" in both places seems to be pretty clearly "ru'i" and not "za'o". What event is being surpassed? The event of us wanting them to be broken?
