Description[edit]

Inertial Compensators are a series of devices that were derived from the discovery of Artificial Gravity in 221 that allow a volume to be partially dis-associated from the inertial drag effects of acceleration in space.

In general this means that there is a (relatively small) acceleration that can be compensated for entirely, with a reduction of the perceived effect of higher accelerations. The initial discovery (in 233) showed an adjustment that negated up to 1g of acceleration; current limits offset about 2g entirely.
