Proximity mine

Proximity mines were high-powered explosive packs that could be deployed from the hold of a ship. They could be detonated with a timer or when a ship passed within the radius of an energy field around the mine. They could also be used on Ground with the same effect. The only way to disarm a proximity mine is to crawl up to it and de-activate it.

History
Shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars Adi Gallia encountered these mines which were been used in space by the Trade Federation. However as part of the deal for the Prosecutor the Trandoshans brought a huge supply of the mines and planted them throughout the ship. Delta Squad encountered many of them during the clone wars as they were also used by the Trandoshans on Kashyyyk. These mines were also used by the Zann Consortium during the Galactic Civil War.
