Mine

Explosives that lack a long range propulsion system are generally described as mines. Mines are expelled in the opposite direction of the carrying ship's current vector of travel, and are mainly designed to throw off aggressive pursuers. Most mines are equipped with a low power propulsion system controlled by an onboard computer, designed to move the mine towards the nearest vessel, in order to counteract any evasive manuevers attempted by the vessel to avoid the mine. Some mines are specially designed for increased homing capabilities.

Mines do not contain IFF recognition systems, and will track any ship closest to them no matter the affiliation - even the same ship that launched the mine.
