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 the [[Master Chief]] noticed that the Cryo-Tube had been removed to make way for this.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 37''</ref> During 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.
