The Kelsan KS bomber is to have an extra role in mine laying. Currently the HCS Space Navy use transport ships to lay mines but are looking into using the Kelsan instead. The HCS are very happy with the Kelsan so far, it is a basic ship but sturdy and reliable which the Clones prefer. 20 were to be built but this number is likely to be increased.
Work is progressing on a space-launched version of the CSM strategic weapon which will give the Kelsan it's full attack capability though this is not expected to be in service until the mid-part of the decade.
