Rotational Gravity

Rotational Gravity

Rotational Gravity (RG) is the form of artificial gravity that supports the most people. Its low maintenance and power cost have made it ideal for allowing large populations to live full lives on space stations or large cruisers.

How it works

Rotational gravity works by rotating a habitable vessel around a central core, providing an inverted gravity to that of a planet — essentially walking on the inside of the rotating shell.

However, due to its required size and structural complexity, this form of AG is not seen on dropships, fighters, or chariots.

The Hardlight

The "Hardlight" is a massive 1000m long cruiser, with a rotating shell spanning 200m in radius. The RG on the ship allows it to carry upwards of 5000 passengers.

The Pillae

The Pillae Twin Fin starship

The Pillae is a Twin Fin type starship. It is a very unique luxury craft with a central rotational wing that can generate RG at each end of the wing. Passengers on board will effectively be upside down at each end of the craft's wings relative to the core.

The craft is unique because, unlike most RG starships, Twin Fins can also enter and exit atmospheres. The central wing can settle in a horizontal configuration and act like a giant wing that helps it break into atmospheres. The ship, however, mostly operates in space, with some variants exclusively operating in space.
