* Also know as:
 
** '''grav'''
 
** '''anti-grav'''
 
** '''contragrav'''
 
 
 
== Description (Specifications) ==
 
The gravity control produces both weight neutralization and thrust.
 
* This control of the force of gravity allows construction of vehicles, like the [[Air/Raft]] and [[G-Carrier]], mapping of object mass through [[Densitometer]]s, and safety equipment like the [[Grav Parachute]].
 
* While not often correlated by most people, historians have noted that the advent of practical [[fusion]] power plants is the result of applied gravitic compression of the fissionable fuels. Some mass-thrusters also rely on the gravitic compression of hydrogen to a near-fusion energy level. The ability to warp space-time and induce a [[jump]] is directly related to the control and understanding of gravitics. The Terran system failed to comprehend and use gravitics for many years, which delayed the [[Solomani]] expansion.
 
 
 
== History & Background (Dossier) ==
 
The first [[Gravcraft]], or vehicles employing gravity control technology appear around (TL-9+).
 
* Please see '''[[Gravcraft]]''' for examples of vehicle that use [[Gravity control technology]].
