Mine Layers

Mine Layers can be part of a starship's weapons complement, although they are not seen very often. Most ship categories have installed the more efficient proron torpedoes aor concussion missiles. However, a mine layer has its own advantages, for example safe the ship when being chased by dropping some mines. Not many capital starships carry mine layers, and same goes for starfighters. Yet, the mine layers is moderately popular by some smugglers who install them on their highly modified freighters. A mine layer is quite a surprise for most customs inspections.
