The gravity control produces both weight neutralization (Contragrav), gravity creation (artificial gravity plates, [[Tractor Beam Projector]]), gravity reversal ([[Repulsor]]s, [[Inertial Compensator]]), and thrust ([[Reactionless Thruster]], [[Thruster Plate]]s). 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 plant]]s 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. Material science uses gravitic compression to strengthen metals; [[Superdense]]. 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.
