== Fleet == {{Main|Fleet of the Weltraumgruppen}} {{See also|List of Weltraumgruppen launch vehicles|List of spacecraft operated by the Weltraumgruppen|List of city-ships operated by the Weltraumgruppen}} The fleet developed from the branch's V-2-derived launch vehicles. High-altitude testing produced the first orbital launcher, followed by heavy-lift systems for construction payloads and reusable shuttles for crew transfer. These vehicles connected the Tuvanaka launch complex to the orbital infrastructure established during the 1960s and 1970s. Armed spacecraft protected orbital approaches and escorted construction convoys. Carrier vessels moved survey craft between systems, while landing ships delivered prefabricated settlement sections to planetary surfaces. Interceptor units controlled access to occupied orbital corridors and defended the off-world shipyards. City-ships contained residential districts supported by enclosed agriculture. Internal reservoirs maintained the water supply, while heavy repair facilities serviced the accompanying fleet. Their closed systems reduced dependence on supply traffic from Tanoa during long deployments. Individual hulls were configured for settlement transport, mining support, communications or fleet command. This allowed the branch to support planetary occupation from mobile infrastructure instead of relying entirely on fixed orbital stations.
