However, we are lacking far in other non-commercial areas, like security and research, as well as minor sectors of information gathering and foreign coordination.
In our recent expansion, we have started our forays into the research and development sector, and hope to have some projects in Ground Security soon underway. We have also created a dedicated section for the construction efforts of Junyo, Samura projects, and other potential customers in the future.

One thing that is concerning me is that our transports are too many times at the mercy of Junkers lurking in the borders of Kusari. While we remedy this by arranging the construction of Armored Raba transports, it is a costly process, and that alone does not benefit the Association as a whole.
I believe that there might be a syndicate amongst us that the Association can rely to establish the defense of it's assets, with financial support of the Associates. If there isn't any, I believe that the Association itself could organize something."
