The XG Anti-Gravity Field Bomb was a mine employed by the Empire to keep local resistance groups at ease, and to help put down uprisings which used repulsorlift vehicles. Repulsorlift vehicles were often impounded and Imperial garrisons laid these mines on the roads in towns were there was Rebel Activity. Because the bombs only responded to gravity fluctuations, people and non-repulsorlift vehicles safely walked over them. They were typically buried about a meter below the ground. If tripped, it would detonate, destroying landspeeders and speeder bikes. The Rebellion was known to have captured many of these mines. Airen Cracken once infiltrated an Imperial fortress and placed mines on a dozen speeder bikes. When the Rebels attacked the fortress about an hour later, the Imperials, in response, activated their speeder bikes, in which the mines detonated. The Rebels used these mines for things such as covering retreats and attacking patrols or convoys.
