DDS to upgrade MRMs

The DDS' stock of Medium Range Missiles (MRM) which is a superluminal capable space launched cruise missile is to receive an upgrade. MRM-1M as the modified missiles will be called will see improvements to the warheads and the signal management system.

The missiles will also see some components replaced by "hardened" versions to improve EMP survivability and to ease maintenance. All missiles in the DDS inventory (thought to be around 130) will be upgraded. The DDS are not currently building new MRMs though if they did it would be to this new standard.

• Although the situation is still considered "fluid" the DDS have decided to drop their alert status to GREEN in the light of the main Benito loyalist rebellion being crushed.
