The Clones have launched five CSMs from Cloneworld, including two from a submarine. All five hit separate targets ranging from three to five lightyears from the planet. All missiles carried inert warheads though in service CSM carries a range of nuclear payloads.
The exercise was a dramatic demonstration of Clone strategic capabilities. This is the first time a CSM test has involved multiple targets. It is thought the exercise was a warning to the Clone Star Empire's rivals and also internal dissidents. Emperor Terin has said that "no traitors are safe and will face the full firepower of the Clone Defence Forces."
