LRM-20 cancelled in favour of LRM-100

The LRM-20, the DDS counterpart to the Clone Space Missile, has been cancelled as predicted earlier in the year. Instead the DDS will concentrate on a 100 light year ranged missile called LRM-100 to enter service by the end of this decade.

Because of the geography of the Clone Star Empire the LRM-20 would only have a limited range of targets though LRM-100 would be able to reach any point of CSE-W and most of the east too. To compensate the DDS are likely to work on extending the range of the MRM that is already in service beyond 5 light years up to 10.
