DDS to phase out TPM-1

The TPM-1 was the weapon that changed the face of space warfare more than anything else within the last couple of decades but with the ships in the DDS fleet that actually still need the missile reducing the DDS have decided it is time to end of life the missile in favour of the TPM-2 and the TPM-3 which is rumoured to be in development.

Canister TPM, a stand alone strap-on attachment using old missiles will remain in service though the DDS will end software and maintenance updates for TPM-1 by the end of 2114. The DDS will then aim to get rid of remaining stocks and convert any remaining launchers by the end of 2115.
