Although the LRM (Long Range Missile) is intended to strike land targets across a distance of up to twenty light years NS have demonstrated it also has a secondary use against space craft. In a test as part of the recent Atomic Fist exercise an LRM was launched from a land mobile launcher on Proxima 5. The missile was given course corrections three times during it's flight and it eventually was guided to strike a withdrawn commercial freighter in deep space around three lightyears away, which NS had purchased for use in the test.
The LRM had an inert warhead though if it had been armed it would have destroyed the target ship. The target ship was not moving and NS want to conduct another test against a moving target later in the year. An NS spokeswoman said that LRM could be used against concentrations of enemy warships. "Obviously we'd want a pretty big warhead for that." she added.
