Gravitics was the science behind artificial gravity manipulation. Most of its research and development was conducted by Juke Limited.[1]
Properties[]
Gravitics was a way to manipulate gravity. It could be heightened to the same level as on Earth or reduced to absolute null-g.[1]
When the atmosphere of a ship was blown out, the gravitics would stop. This may imply that ship gravitics were connected to atmospheric levels in some way.[1]
It allowed for gravity to be manipulated to a point that it could be weaponized, as gravitics was a core technology involved in the creation of many weapons like the Gravity Disruptor and Molecular Disruption Device.[1]
History[]
Development and Use[]
Gravitics was first developed by Juke Limited in the years before the First Formic War. The first device that took advantage of gravitics was the Jukes Gravic Downmaster.[1] By the time of 87 BX, some ships and stations had begun to utilize the technology, although it was very uncommon.[2]
According to Hyrum Graff, it was essential in winning the Second Formic War.[1]
By 2 AX, stations and ships using gravitics to remove freefall was commonplace.[1]
Etymology[]
Gravitics is a real-world theory that shares the name as the technology in the Enderverse.
