Their rather stupid decision not to forget space exploration project however proven useful, as they're the one capable of producing most efficient trans-atmospheric booster (engines that can switch modes depending on demand, in vacuum, air, or even underwater).
Giant boosters attachments the size of Fighter engines, 48-tube Missile Launcher, plus an imported Britain-made beam cannon actually allowed Cecilia go toe-to-toe with an I.S. like genocidal extraterrestrial machine.
They also has an abundant supply of kamikaze-ready sattelite....
