The CM370 network of "killer satellites" has been in operation over Proxima 7 for over ten years now but has not been upgraded in that time. Today, The Shiner announced an upgrade to the orbital defence system would finally be carried out. The satellites would be refurbished and upgraded - the TPM-1s they field (they are the last remaining NS weapon system to use the original TPM) would be replaced by new launchers that can fire TPM-3s. The communications would be upgraded to the new fractal standard. Data link bandwidth would also be tripled. The upgraded system will be known as CM370.1.
NS are also looking at extending the defences as Proxima 7 is no longer the home of NS GHQ! Proxima 5 and Solaris could also be covered by a new generation of defences. Though some sources indicate the cost is putting NS off.
