The Dinos are buying the Clone Space Missile interstellar weapon in a huge deal which will see them receive full technology transfer and jointly develop future versions with the Clones. The deal will have serious astralpolitical repercussions for sure, especially with New Sparta. CSM based on the Dino planet of Jeloka will be able to target all of the core UNP worlds.
MBH and Oojok have signed off on the deal which is for 7 billion zarks plus 30 worm drives. For this the Dinos will receive 180 of the latest CSM model plus 20 inert training rounds (some launchable). The warheads will be of Dino design. The Dinos are going straight to land mobile launching and will receive 100 mobile launcher systems. They will also receive full technological transfer plus the right to start building their own CSMs. They will also jointly work with the Clones on at least 2 future models.
Emperor MBH said that purchasing CSM (which is likely to be known as the Dino Interstellar Missile) will greatly boost Dino defence. He said that 3 new brigades will be formed to operate the new weapon plus a 4th training brigade. MBH said that deployment would vary depending on the strategic position at the time. He said the new weapons could be operational by 2120.
Thirty worm drives is a huge boost to Clone efforts to improve its space fleet. Its thought the drives will be used on the new Molentic Tuul MTM2 cruiser now being built.
