| The '''M1011 Moray space mine''' is an explosive naval weapon employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] for use in deep-space combat.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P160|Enc22|Page=160}}

|
| ==Overview==
| | {{Era|FS}} |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Moray [[space mine]]s carry a high explosive payload and small chemical propellant drives that allow them to track specific targets or maintain a pre-defined coordinate location in space. The system for deploying these mines can be controlled from within the launch craft, with up to three dozen mines coming equipped on a single mine rack.{{Ref/Novel|Id=FS5|HFS|Chapter=5}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Usage===
| | '''Moray Space Mines''' are explosives built by the [[UNSC]] for use in deep-space combat. |
| Moray space mines are equipped aboard smaller [[prowler]]s and large [[Space fighter|strikecraft]] as a deployable ordnance, similar to the [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]]-capable [[M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System|M441 Hornet space mines]] on larger prowlers. They may be equipped on [[C718 Longsword|C718]]{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P160}} and [[C709 Longsword]] fighters, with the latter requiring removal of the fighter's [[cryo chamber]] for the mine rack installation.{{Ref/Reuse|FS5}} | |
|
| |
|
| {{Class|Winter|prowler}}s are equipped with a single, aft-mounted '''CBU-R68 Moray mine rack''' as a secondary armaments. It is unclear whether the CBU-R68 designation refers to a new model of Moray mine, or the launching system itself.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/oni-acrisius|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=ONI Acrisius|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=129}}{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=46-47}}
| | == Background == |

| |
|
| ==Operational history==
| | They are dropped from the bays of [[Longsword]] Interceptors to mine locations within space from incursion. They use both proximity and remote detonators and have very high explosive payloads. This may not be a regular armament as the Master Chief noticed that the Cryo-Tube had been removed to make way for this. During the Assault on Ascendant Justice these were used to destroy the ship's Seraph Fighters making way for the Longsword to land on the Covenant ship. |
| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| During [[Skirmish over Threshold|the assault]] on ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', Morays were used to destroy the ship's [[Seraph]] fighters making way for a Longsword to land on the [[Covenant]] ship. They may also have adhesive or magnetic quality to them as they were able to be attached to a remote piloted [[Pelican]] and later deployed from it.{{Ref/Reuse|FS5}}
