+'''M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System'''<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', page 190</ref>, commonly known as the '''HORNET mine''', is a type of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ordnance. These mines are commonly carried aboard [[UNSC prowler]]s, but not exclusively. They are stealthy, [[plutonium]]-cored, [[nuclear weapon|nuclear devices]] with a nominal yield of 30 megatons.

+During the [[Battle of Onyx]], the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} laid a field of HORNETs, destroying twelve and damaging four [[Covenant]] warships. This helped to prolong the survival of [[Carl Patterson|Admiral Patterson]]'s [[Patterson's battle group|battlegroup]], which was facing an overwhelming number of Covenant ships at the time. The severe reduction in the number of Covenant ships allowed the UNSC fleet to score a brief victory, before overwhelming Covenant reinforcements arrived and destroyed the surviving human ships, with the exception of the ''Dusk''.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 325''</ref>

+In [[2558]], the {{UNSCship|Nereid}} was carrying a number of HORNET mines when the ship lost all power in the wake of an attack from the [[Created]]. An attempt those aboard made at restarting its [[slipspace drive]] involved using the mines to power it as a sort of radioisotope thermoelectric generator. The effort was futile, however.
