Gravcraft are vehicles that employ Gravity control technology for transportation purposes.
- Please see Gravity control technology for more information.
Description (Specifications)
Gravity control technology is the key technology that makes gravcraft work.
- The gravity control produces both weight-neutralization and thrust. Also know as grav, anti-grav, or contragrav.
- This control of the force of gravity allows construction of vehicles, like the Air/Raft and G-Carrier, mapping of object mass through Densitometers, and safety equipment like the Grav Parachute.
- Starships also employ gravity control technology, but this article only details terrestrial, interface, and close-orbit gravcraft.
- Please see Starship for more information.
History & Background (Dossier)
The first Gravcraft, or vehicles employing gravity control technology, appear around (TL-9+).
Representative Classes

- Personal Gravcraft (Single-occupant) (TL-9+)
- Grav Cars (Dedicated Passenger Vehicles) (TL-9+)
- Air/Rafts (Dedicated Utility Vehicle) (TL-9+)
- Grav Sleds (Dedicated Utility Vehicle) (TL-9+)
