The EDOIA announced the deployment of 1200 advanced W70-3 and W79 lance missiles to various sections of the empire. The missiles, commonly known as "neutron bombs" due to their high levels of radiation, will serve to protect the Imperium from outside threats. Upgrades were made to earlier models to increase the yield and delivery systems. Technical data about the missile is currently classified.
