House Corino's and Markov Project STAR GUARD became opperational last evening.

"This is the beginning of a new era; this is an era without the fear of ICBM and cruise missile strikes. Our generation lived in fear of weapons of mass destruction, missiles armed with sarin gas, and the threat of nuclear confrontation.

Our children now have a future without terror, without fear, and without the threat of missiles," announced House Corino's President on his weekly radio address.

STAR GUARD is a 90 Billion RU advanced network of satelites and ground based detection systems and anti-missile batteries. Using a combination of heat seeking/guided missiles, lasers, and communication jamming, STARGUARD can intercept any incoming projectile taveling up to Mach 12. Sucess rates are estimated at:
87% For hypervelocity missiles
91.5% For cruise missiles

OOC-Means Bring Up My Post.
House Corino, don't bump when it's still on the first page, it's improper.

The entire USNE NEODEN staff laughed at the idea of tunneling under cities and detonating weapons.

And laser guided missiles seem impractical, dust can refract/block the beam. Or reflective surfaces can deflect it.
