BalancingSpeedGravity-BTMF17

A starship had to calculate speed with gravity to achieve planetary orbit.

Gravity was the attraction between two bodies, dependent on their mass and the distance between them. Allplanets,moons, andstars exerted gravity. The larger a body was, the more gravity it had, and the harder it "pulled" other objects towards its center. As such, gravity was what allowed living beings and otherspecies to regard it as what kept things "down," or empirically allowed them to stay on their feet and caused dropped objects to fall. Inrealspace there was no apparent gravity, sostarships andspace stations needed to artificially generate it.Satellites and otherorbiting objects maintained their positions by finding the perfect balance between gravity and the object's forward motion toward the gravitational source.[1]

Throughout moderngalactic civilization, the reliance on gravity-manipulating technologies that had existed formillennia allowed for interstellar travel and basic flight.Repulsorlifts allowed a craft to hover or fly over a planet's surface by pushing against its gravity, thereby producing thrust, whileacceleration compensators keptstarship crews alive during high-speed maneuvers. Other technologies such astractor beams manipulated gravitational forces to push or pull objects.[1]

TheExecutor goes down, falling forDeath Star II's gravitational force.

Despite the banality of many gravity-based technologies, many factions throughout galactic history attempted to increase the military and civilian applications of the force, with theGalactic Empire developinggravity well projectors which could pull a ship out of hyperspace by creatinginterdiction fields and thus gravitational shadows in the direction of an oncoming vessel.[1][2] During theClone Wars,clone troopers were equipped with magnetizedboots to traverse environments with zero gravity.[3]

Mosthumans andhumanoid species were able to deal with an average amount of gravity, with less allowing greater movement—such as the ability to jump higher than normal—and more hindering mobility by requiring greater energy to move about.Sirpar was a planet with higher gravity than whathumans were generally used to, which made conditions challenging for humanImperial cadets participating in training exercises.[4] Species that evolved on planets with heavy gravity tended to develop dense muscle fibers and fast reflexes that made them formidable adversaries on worlds with standard gravity.[5]

Vessels traveling in space generated internalartificial gravity which kept occupants from experiencing weightlessness and drifting inside.[6]
