A remotely detonated, magnetized explosive device designed for deep-space warfare was known as a magno-mine. These devices could be affixed to a ship and, due to their significant blast radius, were employed by the Galactic Empire to inflict extensive damage in engagements with numerous opposing vessels. For instance, a TIE/sa bomber used one during a skirmish over Mykapo, attaching it to the captured rebel ship, Sato's Hammer.
