It is likely to be just a coincidence coming days after the LRM test but the Clones have held a test of its Clone Space Missile, the largest to date including 5 missiles. Three missiles were launched from silos on Ailier City, one from the trials submarine CNSS Warhammer and one from a mobile launcher near Micom. All missiles entered space mode and then hit an asteroid 2.1 light years from Cloneworld a few hours later.
The Clones say none of the missiles were armed and all hit their target within "acceptable parameters". It has been claimed the target was programmed into all missiles seconds before launch which is impressive if true. Its known that the CSM has received a software upgrade this Summer and that must therefore include a previously rumoured "hot-targetting" facility.
The SeaCSM missile launched was a prototype, it is now hoped the missile will be declared operational by next year though the Walrus class submarines which will normally carry SeaGale SLBMs and SeaCSM are not due to enter service from 2118.
