First CSM silo declared operational

The first Clone Space Missile silo has been declared operational on Cloneworld. Three CSMs are thought to have been deployed in the silo south of the capital Ailier City. All three missiles are thought to have been programmed to attack DDS GHQ though this is mainly because that is the only target the HCS have managed to programme yet.

Three more silos are expected to be converted from Gale IRBMs to CSM over the next 6 months though a full deployment will not be carried out until the end of 2111 at least with the arrival of an improved version of CSM that allows for rapid retargeting and other enhancements. A sea launched and road mobile launched versions of CSM are expected by the end of the decade.
