Dinos and Clones agree CSM/TPM swap

The Dinos and Clones have agreed a technology swap of the Clone Space Missile (CSM) for the Dino version (transferred from the DDS of course) of the Trans-Phasic Missile (TPM). Under the deal full data and engineering assistance will be given to assist the other party in setting up their own production facilities.

As well the Clones will provide 30 mobile launchers and 80 CSM2 missiles (the latest type with signature stealth and enhanced navigation). The Dinos will provide 500 TPM rounds plus assistance in modifying Clone ships to fire them.

New Sparta is said to be concerned about the transfer though the Dino TPM technology is still based on the now obsolete TPM-1 branch. With the Clones also getting worm drive recently they now are closing the gap. There is also the possibility of TPM technology getting into their allies the Rectoids hands.

The Dinos say their CSMs will be largely based on Pulsin to face the Bolitic though missiles launched from Illiatri could reach the core UNP worlds.
