'''Moray | '''Moray space mines''' are explosives built by the [[UNSC]] for use in deep-space combat. These mines carry a high explosive payload and small chemical propellant drives that allow them to track specific targets or maintain a pre-defined coordinate location in space.<ref name="fs37">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 37''</ref> | ||

They are dropped from the bays of [[Longsword]] | They are dropped from the bays of [[Longsword]] interceptors to mine locations within space from hostile incursions. They use both proximity and remote detonators and have very high explosive payloads. This may not be a regular armament as [[John-117]] noticed that the cryo-tube had been removed to make way for this. During [[Skirmish over Threshold|the assault]] on ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', these were used to destroy the ship's [[Seraph]] fighters making way for a Longsword to land on the [[Covenant]] ship. They may also have adhesive or magnetic quality to them as they were able to be attached to a remote piloted [[Pelican]] and later deployed from it.<ref name="fs37"/> | ||
