The M1011 Moray space mine is an explosive naval weapon employed by the United Nations Space Command for use in deep-space combat.[2]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
Moray space mines 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.[1]
Usage[edit]
Moray space mines are equipped aboard smaller prowlers and large strikecraft as a deployable ordnance, similar to the nuclear-capable M441 Hornet space mines on larger prowlers. They may be equipped on C718[2] and C709 Longsword fighters, with the latter requiring removal of the fighter's cryo chamber for the mine rack installation.[1]
Winter-class prowlers 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.[3][4][5]
Operational history[edit]
Human-Covenant War[edit]
During 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.[1]
