The DDS and DTA have signed an agreement that will restrict the proliferation of TPM technology either in missile or beam form for the next 25 years. The agreement has come about after the Dinos sold worm drive technology to the Clones. The DDS were worried the Dinos might sell TPM technology to the Clones too (although the Dinos are forbidden from officially). The DDS mooted selling the technology themselves which encouraged the Dinos to enter talks with the DDS on limiting the spread of the galaxy's most potent space combat weapon.
TPM technology cannot be sold or given to non-DDS or DTA members and access to the technology is to be maintained with robust security measures. DDS Technology head Sea Urchin said he was pleased with the agreement though DDS Operations head Knobhead is known to be keen to sell TPM to anyone with enough cash as he believes the technology will leak out anyway by the end of the decade at the latest.
