With the Clone Space Missile approaching its first operational phase the HCS lead over the DDS in interstellar nuclear missiles has seemingly widened especially as the DDS LRM-20 project has been put on hold because of the war. DDS Research now say they are probably 3-4 years from the end of the war before they can have anything operational though some of the technologies that will be employed are in development as they are used in other programmes like the MRM that have not been frozen.
However it is possible the DDS may ditch the LRM-20 and instead wait until the LRM-100 missile which would have a 100 light year range. All targets in CSE-W and most in CSE-E (from a silo on Starbot) would be in range of such a weapon. The range of CSM is unknown though is thought to be less than 20 light years, however this is enough for missiles launched from Cloneworld to reach the core DDS systems of Proxima Centauri and Solaris.
