Technical
- Artificial graviton generation used to provide for gravity fields, inertial dampers within starships
- Starfleet artificial gravity provided by networked gravity generators, commonly known as gravity plating or gravity net (TNG Novel: The Buried Age; DS9: "Explorers", "Treachery, Faith and the Great River"; VOY: "Alice")
- Superconducting stators embedded into duranium plating (TNG Technical Manual; TNG Novel: The Buried Age; VOY: "Alice")
- Gravity strength can be adjusted by accelerating or braking stators (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
- Designed to fail safe, continuing to spin via inertia and generate gravity for up to four hours (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
- On Starfleet vessels, during warp drive operation gravity system is slaved to warp subsystem to better provide operation of inertial dampers (TNG Novel: A Time to Die)
- System transition removes overrides of internal gravity field setting, reverting to default configuration (TNG Novel: A Time to Die)
