Following reports that the Clone Space Missile could be a year from deployment the DDS have ordered a speed up of it's equivalent Long Range Missile (LRM) programme. The first version of this, a missile with a range of up to 20 light years, LRM-20 could enter service by 2114. However this may be a ship-launched version of the missile, it is unknown when silo based missiles will be ready though a booster stage development programme has begun and a site has been found on Proxima 5 for the launch tests and ultimately the first silos. A DDS blogger has said that a silo based LRM-20 might not be ready until around 2116.
Following on from LRM-20 will be a much longer-ranged version, LRM-100, which will have a range up to 100 lightyears. From Proxima 5 most places in the Clone Space Empire would be in range. From a silo on Remedia Prime the missiles could reach deep into Utrek space. LRM-100 may not arrive until the 2120s however.
