The HX2 antipersonnel mine was a proximity mine produced by Conner Ship Systems that was considered outdated, but cheap, by the time of the Clone Wars.^[1] These antipersonnel explosives were commonly used during the Clone Wars by Advanced Recon Commandos and assault battle droids.^[2] and occasionally during the Galactic Civil War.

The HX2 mine was a hexagonal disc-shaped explosive, easily concealed around the battlefield for anti-personnel use. The mine contained an explosive charge of detonite, which was set off when tripped by a proximity sensor.^[3] The HX2 mine was favored both by the battle droid legions of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the ARC Troopers of the Galactic Republic.^[2] During the Galactic Civil War it was used by commandos of both sides of the war.
