| - A sea mine is a self-contained explosive device placed in water to damage or destroy ships. Sea mines are items which are used to cause damage to hostile ships in sea battle. At the time when Voyage Century was introduced for the first time, mines were very popular among players merchants because they were a good way to cause damage to raiding ships while trying to escape from them. Since Colony Age version, sea mines were becoming less important. Output damage was too low compared to the amount of hull newer ships had. This difference is even greater now and it got to a point where mines are completely obsolete.
- Sea Mine, also known as Cray (キライ Kirai?) is a mine in Mega Man 4. They only appear in Dive Man's stage, appropriately enough. They bob up and down, and are invincible to attacks. They explode after a short while when Mega Man draws near. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Sea Mines are blue instead of red as they are produced by Dive Man's body. A weapon could destroy them.
- “Take this ruby, Adept. It will alert you to attacks on Horde settlements. Oh, and your shift is over.” The Blood Knight gave Faern an odd look out of the corner of his eye, a look mixed somewhere with disgust, wary respect and pity. Someone that young should not have the rank she did. Someone that young should have fallen apart and died long ago (actually, her medical record proved she had done that multiple times). Someone that bloody young should not be prancing around getting hacked at by axes (or wield a mace that looked like a sea mine on a stick). Damn Tyroll. Damn world.
- Ah, naval mines. Just the thing to catch unwary vessels. The use of these Naval Weapons is still legal unlike the anti-personnel land-based version, but you are required to notify people of their use and the rough location of them, so civilian shipping can stay out of the way. Examples of Sea Mine include:

Someone that young should not have the rank she did. Someone that young should have fallen apart and died long ago (actually, her medical record proved she had done that multiple times). Someone that bloody young should not be prancing around getting hacked at by axes (or wield a mace that looked like a sea mine on a stick). The adept took the stone without question, saluted and left the room. The Blood Knight remained, still peering at Faern. Faern peered back. There wasn’t really much else she could do. She couldn’t walk, talk or even move her arms at the moment. She had absolutely no way of communicating, and was as such very frustrated. And completely unable to do a single thing about it. Both arms were in plaster, and the muscles of her legs had not yet recovered from trying to take on an axe. It didn’t help that she was watched almost around the clock to stop her being stubborn and running off to be heroic (or limping, most likely). Faern could have sworn that the Knight smirked as he walked towards her, plate armour clinking against the chain mail joints for flexibility, shining a perfect blood red and black in the light. Hmph, silver was better in Faern’s opinion. It looked less blatantly violent. She tilted her head to watch as he placed the gem on the table beside her bed, scowling. Out of reach. The bastard. The Knight noticed her sulking face and patted her patronisingly on the head; Faern opened her mouth to tell him to do something unpleasant with a cactus, but no sound came out. Her throat was still damaged from a previous evening, and might never fully recover. Faern chewed the inside of her cheek with frustration and rage; nothing else much she could do, then yelped silently as she accidentally bit too hard and broke the skin. Gah! There was nothing else she could do to vent anger, really. She detested spitting at people; some days it felt like she was walking through a autumn storm she got spat at that much. The next Adept walked in and stood by the door, saluting with a clunk. The Knight turned away from Faern, returned the salute and sauntered out, leaving her to a few more hours of boredom, pain and frustration. Damn Tyroll. Damn world.
- Ah, naval mines. Just the thing to catch unwary vessels. The use of these Naval Weapons is still legal unlike the anti-personnel land-based version, but you are required to notify people of their use and the rough location of them, so civilian shipping can stay out of the way. Naval mines in fiction are always portrayed as large metal spheres covered with small spike-like detonators which cause the mine to explode on contact with a ship (or any unfortunate individual). This is based on the appearance of early (World War I-era) naval mines. Most modern ones look rather different. Some are self-contained launch tubes for a homing torpedo that launches when it detects the sound of a ship or submarine's propellers (and is smart enough to distinguish between the two, or even different classes and sizes of ship, and may be set to attack either or both). Others are modified aircraft bombs dropped in shallow waters to lie on the sea bed, with sensor circuitry that detonates when they detect the change in magnetic fields created by the ship's metal hull. The horned type, however, remains a favored weapon for shallow waters and low budgets, and like the Cartoon Bomb is easily recognized by the viewing public. Examples of Sea Mine include:
