The Derillium Mine was a space mine employed by the Galactic Empire protect to its mining facility located in the Belt of Arah (asteroid field) in the Dreighton Nebula. Derillium Mines are activated when they detect an enemy craft in its proximity. Once an enemy craft is detected, the mine deploy itself and homes in on the enemy craft to destroy it. In their dormant state (data entry's picture shows the mine just activating from its dormant state) the mine's profile is smaller when they are fully activated and deployed. Once it is activated the mine's four prongs spring outward and their covering blue strips light up. At this stage the mine starts to head towards its target. Before reaching its target the shells on the ends of the four prongs split open into three sections (like a maw opening up). From this final stage, the mine continues the pursuit of its target until it is destroyed. If an enemy fighter can react quickly enough, it may be able to shoot down these mines with its laser cannons.
