The HCS say they have conducted a full test of a live Clone Space Missile ahead of an expected entry into service by the end of the year. The missile was launched from a silo near HCS GHQ on Cloneworld and then travelled 3 light years to a target asteroid where the warhead (a live nuclear warhead) was detonated around 7km from a surface mock-up of an enemy base. Although the missile landed some way away the HCS say that the NSV did not receive any course correction during its flight and if it had it would have landed within a few hundred metres.
Initially around 20 CSMs are expected to be deployed, all pre-set to attack DDS GHQ on Proxima 7 (though the Clones are of course not commenting on this or confirming it). The HCS are said to be still working out the precise target data for other targets as a planet's orbit and rotation cycle has to be taken into account to strike a target on another world.
