The Clones have begun testing the production standard Nuclear Space Vehicle, the business end of the Clone Space Missile system. The NSV, derived from the Nybble, is a 350c capable unmanned space craft that can carry a variety of warheads. It has a range of just over 10 light years and is said to have multiple cloaking devices and carry sophisticated navigation equipment.
The full test of CSM involving the production standard booster, NSV and a live nuclear warhead to strike a target is slated for later in the year. CSM will, if the test is successful, be declared "Operational Stage A" and a small number hardwired to attack Proxima 7* will be deployed to Gale silos on Cloneworld.
* Officially the target of the first batch of CSMs has not been released but it is widely assumed to be DDS GHQ.
