The DDS have opened a new nuclear weapons plant on Solaris which will replace the existing facility on Proxima 7 which has had various problems due to ageing equipment. The new plant is larger and can ramp up production to 500% of the current rate though in normal usage will maintain the same production rate as at present.
A second plant will be built on Remedia Prime as part of DDS efforts to disperse their strategic assets and to duplicate vital industrial facilities. The second plant will be smaller and used mainly as a research and development base for warhead design though will also be able to provide a second source of warheads in the event of a war. This second plant is due to completed in 2112.
