Mine Type A

The Mine Type A, also known as the Type 1 mine or Mn/T1, was an unmanned static defense weapon produced by the armaments manufacturer Arakyd Industries.
A stationary mine armed with an omnidirectional laser cannon, the Mn/T1 was a cost-effective anti-intruder measure. The laser cannon provided defense against starfighters, especially weakly shielded fighters like the Z-95 Headhunter, or completely unshielded craft such as the TIE/LN starfighter, and the contact detonation system was effective against capital ships, especially when the Mn/T1 was deployed in large numbers as a minefield.
The Rebel Alliance MC40a Light Calamari Cruiser Lulsla was protected by a minefield that included the Mn/T1.
Loyal Imperial starfighter pilot Maarek Stele was given the tremendously difficult task of single-handedly clearing a minefield composed of Mn/T1s in a fragile TIE/IN interceptor. His rebellious superiors gave him this dangerous assignment when his inquisitive nature threatened to reveal Admiral Harkov's treachery.
