Capsule: The Type 5 mine is a stationary drone, with built-in active and passive sensors. As soon as it detects a target that is not broadcasting a prearranged transponder signal, it begins firing a laser cannon; the mine's droid brain has 3D in starship gunnery, The mine is only lightly armored, and any damage to its outer hull triggers an automatic destruct mechanism, and fires a single concussion missile at the attacking craft. IB6/Green has 200 such mines surrounding the station at a distance of 5 Space Units.
As an additional precaution, each mine is pre-programmed to recognize the transponder codes broadcast by authorized ships and fighters; any ship that approaches the mines that is not broadcasting a "friendly" transponder (or none at all) is immediately fired upon.
