Oojok orders full review of strategic weapon doctrine and security

Eternal Leader Oojok has ordered a full scale review of the doctrine and security protocols and procedures involving the Clone Defence Forces' strategic weapons. This is in the light of the theft of a Kelsan KS bomber loaded with nuclear missiles. A catastrophic attack on the Dinos using the bomber was only narrowly averted. The use of hijacked LRM strategic missiles by the MBO to bring down the NS is also a cause for concern by the Clones (though CSM launch procedures have already been changed).

The review will look into the security of nuclear warheads, their transport and launch protocols. One immediate change is that Kelsan bombers and other ships carrying nuclear weapons are no longer allowed to operate in deep space between the two halves of the Clone Star Empire without an escort (this is where the Kelsan was seized).
