History

The first firing of a Sinchi Paña missile occurred in 1700 AN. The Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie was the launch customer for the system. The system was developed and produced at a new facility in Rimarima, Wechua Nation.

Four examples of the system were delivered to the Surenid Armed Forces for combat evaluation during 1722 AN.
