Library Data:Gravity control technology

Library Data Milieu 1116 

Gravity control technology is one of the major technological breakthroughs (the others are Nuclear Dampers and Jump Drives). Also know as grav, antigrav, or contragrav. The gravity control produces weight control, thrust and can be used to generate gravity as well, for artificial gravity aboard starships and space stations. This artificial gravity also acts as an inertial dampener, controlling the effects of sudden acceleration/deceleration on the crew.

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.

Gravity control is also part of the technology of the reactionless thruster, along with the basis of the nuclear damper, used in manoeuvre drives all over Charted Space.
