Abstract: A large class of four-dimensional supersymmetric ground states of closed superstrings with a non-zero mass gap are constructed. For such ground states we turn on chromo-magnetic fields as well as curvature. The exact spectrum as function of the chromo-magnetic fields and curvature is derived. We examine the behavior of the spectrum, and find that there is a maximal value for the magnetic field $H_{mmax}sim{M}_{mplanck}^2$. At this value all states that couple to the magnetic field become infinitely massive and decouple. We also find tachyonic instabilities for strong background fields of the order $calO(mu{M}_{mplanck})$ where $mu$ is the mass gap of the theory. Unlike the field theory case, we find that such ground states become stable again for magnetic fields of the order $calO(M_{mplanck}^2)$. The implications of these results are discussed.
