Clones begin testing of K19NG

Production has testing of the K19NG Borehole attack aircraft. This is a reengineered development of the Clone Wars era K19 with new avionics and engines. Initial production (K19NGN) will be to replace the ageing K19BEC in service with the Clone Naval Air Service in the anti-shipping role.

From about 2123 production will begin to the K19NGE for the Clone Air Force where it will perform the stand-off strike and interdiction roles. It will also carry the ASI Missile that can attack targets in low-orbit.
