@Gorzill: Hm! France might restrict the most recent of its military technologies (which I still need to put on the wiki) to its allies, but it would be willing to sell a great many of the equipment on the old French Starfleet and French Army pages. The French would also be willing to instruct the Vanara on how to incorporate some of those technologies into their own designs. Keep in mind that France uses the capitalist model for developing and manufacturing military equipment, so there is going to be the matter of intellectual property and cost tangled in there.

In terms of civilian technologies, France has decent terraforming, fully automated and self-regulating cities/colonies, replicators, effective mining technologies, holosuite hardware, etc, etc. These technologies would be far easier to hand over.

Honestly, the French aren't very possessive of their technology like a lot of other civilisations are. They manufacture all sorts of hyperdrives, ships, electronics, industrial hardware, etc, which they export freely to other nations for profit. A lot of this is cutting-edge stuff, and the proliferation of this kind of technology has helped a lot of other nations catch up, helping in the creation of the Xonexi Allies.
