CM360 revealed as orbital defense system

Director Of Communications Vodaphone today held a media briefing at GHQ where he revealed the identity of the CM360 project that had been leaked on DDS financial data. He said that it was a new orbital defense system around Proxima 7 to defend GHQ, the main fleet fuelling and depot facilities in orbit and the massive ship building complex P1E.

Seven space stations will be built with varients of the Z cannon and TP missile launchers. These static defense points will allow the DDS to use ships currently assigned to defend Proxima 7 elsewhere. Currently the DDS have to keep at least 3 cruisers and 3 frigates in orbit operational at all times. Vodaphone also said that a smaller scale system for Solaris was also being considered. Construction of CM360 would begin in the summer.
