Egonneck begins his rescue mission.

Clone ICBM upgraded with cold flame

The Clone Army has accepted the Gale IIIB SS-5B ICBM into service though roll-out is expected to be slow. The Gale ICBM is the launcher for Clone Space Missile though dozens are also fielded with nuclear and conventional warheads. Gale IIIB has the cold flame technology recently developed by the Clones which reduces infrared signatures by over 80%.

Gale IIIB also includes guidance and countermeasure improvements though it is likely this will be the final version of the ICBM with most development now being concentrated on the submarine launched version SeaGale/SeaCSM.

Clone Space Missile upgrade announced

The Clone Space Missile is to receive a major upgrade next year as the Clones seek to maintain their advantage in the field of interstellar missiles. The range of CSM will be increased to 15 light years from 10 (though still less than LRM-20 which New Sparta will soon field). Mid-course correction will also be enabled and improved penaids.

A more substantial upgrade is also in the works for 2120. A brand new engine will enable CSM to reach over 20 light years in range and also be a lot faster.

The Clones have also confirmed that SeaCSM is now operational, the trials submarine CNSS Warhammer is said to regularly go to sea with 2 SeaCSM loaded. Full deployment with purpose built submarines is expected in 2119.
