NOVA Mines are a type of Templar ordnance commonly carried aboard Prowlers. They are stealthy, plutonium-cored, nuclear devices with a normal yield of 30 Megatons but could be 'dialed up' to 60 megatons. In space, due to there being less matter to interact with and cause friction with, its maximum detonation range was 140km3. In order to keep the minefields hidden from enemies all the mines have an outer hull of Stealth Ablative Coating, this armor also helps in compressing the nuclear blast slightly amplifying the damage by a small margin.
