They were essentially advanced proximity based space mines that would explode when they detected the presence of a ship in hyperspace. After exploding, a gravity surge that would simulate the effects of a planetary gravity well mass shadow and would force a ship out of hyperspace. The aim of the weapon was primarily to ambush ships journeying across hyperspace by shutting down their hyperspace engines and were extensively used during the First Battle of Coruscant where they prevented Galactic Republic reinforcements from arriving to aid the capital.
