French President Emmanuel Macron announced the creation of a French space force to reinforce his nation's air space capabilities.
"To give substance to this doctrine and ensure the development and reinforcement of our space capabilities, a space command will be created next September in the air force," Macron said Saturday in a speech in front of the military. The space unit will be called the "Space and Air Force."

So something like a ship that does warp 10 but only in reverse. Fascinating.
The surprise in this announcement is that it is of a French space force instead of a European one.

Macron likely intends to use his space force program to preserve the independence of the French space program from Europe’s grip.
