- "Lead Destroyer dropped mines! Sensors suggest they're gravity-based."
- ―Lobot
Gravity mines were a model of space mine used in space combat which used gravity based technology.[1] They were designed to latch onto the hulls of starships and warp the local space around them in order to prevent them jumping to hyperspace before the mine could explode.[2] Gravity mines were sold for 1,000 credits.[1]
In the High Republic Era, Pan Eyta's Tempest used a gravity mine to pull the Tycoon Trader out of hyperspace in the Abrion sector in order to raid it.[3]
Commodore Idel deployed a pair of gravity-based mines from his Star Destroyer when trying to capture the yacht Imperialis in the Castell system after it was stolen by the smuggler Lando Calrissian and a team of thieves. The mines were destroyed by the vessel's automated defense system before they could latch on.[2]
