The Nautilus is a minelayer and minesweeper spacecraft developed by Aegis Dynamics and utilized by the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). It is capable of deploying several different types of mines for both offensive and area-denial purposes along simultaneous vectors in 3D space. Its command deck allows the monitoring and activation of these weapons. A model of the Nautilus has recently become available on the civilian market for private concerns seeking protection for space-based assets like stations or mining claims.
