Nihsth Mines

Nul Weapon - Large Anti Ship Device - 40 x 40 x 30 m -55 metric tons One of the few weapons in the known Universe able to crack the shields of a Union Battleship; about 12-15 mines will overwhelm even the tripple redundancy ParaDim Shields of a Union Battleship. 20-30 mines are enough to destroy a battle ship. The Kermac have copied this weapon and so have the Shiss, (less effective) As good as mines are as an Aerial denial weapon they are not an effective tactical weapon., Union Ships are generally able to sense and detect these mines and, Point defense  systems can take care of mines. However it is a very effective way against smaller ships and Union Fighters.
