Clones planning to build CSM silos on Lomar

In an about-face to recent policy to only locate the CSM interstellar strategic weapon on Cloneworld Oojok has agreed a 340 million zark project to survey, locate and prepare for a number of silos on Lomar. No CSM silos will be built as yet but all the preparatory work will be done a CDF source has said.

CSMs based on Lomar would be able to target the core DDS/UNP worlds as well as New Jakarta which is just out of range of Cloneworld based missiles. No other targets are viable though which indicates the Lomar CSMs are being considered as insurance. A DDS source said he was not concerned by the move, "We know they have done this on some other planets already, its prudent for them to have options."

The DDS' own LRM-100 system is not due to enter service until 2120.
