Merr-Sonn Mark III Defender ion mines

A more sophisticated version of Defender ion mine, Mark III Defender Ion mines were designed to blockade worlds. They used sensor masks and passive running to remain nearly invisible to passing ships. When a ship was within 10 kilometers of a mine (its maximum range), this emitted a powerful ion attack upon the ship, neutralizing the vessel.

Ion mines runned almost exclusively in passive mode, making them difficult to detect.
