The Empire of Rydellion is pleased to announce the unveiling of its first Phased Orbital Weapon System satellite, christened "Jormungand." This kilometer-long space station consists of the accelleration ladder for the charged particle beam weapon "Gungnir," the redundant dual fusion reactor array to provide the majority of its power, the solar panel wings to provide supplemental energy flow, point-defense cannons, and the crew area, consisting of the control center, barracks, and docking ring. All vital systems are triply redundant and can be overriden from Kriegerkönig Dactyl Jaeger's palace to prevent betrayals. This system can devastate cities with sweeps of its charged particle beam and theoretically can strike any location on the planet, but the Empire of Rydellion pledges to use this weapon only in retaliation, never as a first-strike aid. Project Yggdrasil is projected to come fully online later this year, as the remaining three satellites "Fenrir," "Garm," and "Surt" reach operational status and are placed into their polar orbits at the 0, 60, and 120-degree longitudes. The equatorial orbit is currently occupied by Jormungand. Rydellion would like to thank all other nations for their respect of Rydellion's borders and simultaneously warn that any intrusion will not be tolerated. If any nation wishes to employ the services of Project Yggdrasil in a military operation, price will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your cooperation.
