With the epic launching of the shuttle Majestic the Tundra has expanded its influence into the realm of space. Originally, plans for a fleet of four shuttles were enacted, but, with the suggestion of General Aaron Spirit, Tundric Armaments Incorporated has gone to work on a new shuttlecraft, christened the "Spirit" class combat shuttle. These shuttles are to be armed and ferry small numbers of our new space marines, yet still maintain the ability to carry out scientific research and repairs on satellites and space stations. In addition to these developments, concept plans for a new space station and orbital weapons platforms are being formed by Tundric Armaments Incorporated.

Sadly, however, funding is tight as we are currently at war with Hattia and a small group of Hattian allies (Emerald Sky (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98798)). Although this war hasn't locked up the budget entirely, allowing us to increase spending on the space program, and our newly formed Tundric Star Guard. Despite this slight funding, the technologies needed for these programs are not fully developed, and effective space based weaponry is still totally up in the air for us, although we are considering mass drivers and small gauss rifles for our Star Guard space marines.

We are hereby sending out a request for any nation willing to provide assistance to our space program, whether it is theoretical space based weaponry, space station technologies, or any sort of funding. We will award all nations with limited use of some of our space facilities once they are constructed, or perhaps more conventional military technologies that we possess.

After the end of the Hattian conflict, and the rebuilding of the decimated TDF forces that fought in the war, large amounts of funding have been poured into the space program. With this new funding, the first mass driver prototype has been commisioned. This immense turreted weapon is currently at an undisclosed location, but it is fully working. Sadly however, mass driver technology is highly undeveloped and this weapon is both combersome, and inefficient. We are once again asking any nations with experience in mass driver technology, or any of the other technologies we are researching to assist us in this endeavour.
