Encyclopedia Galactica: Graveplate Technology
Based on technology discovered on the alien ship found on Eurpoa in 2132, graveplate technology is based on “plates” which are actually complex artificial gravity production machines. These machines are naturally extraordinarily energy consuming. Much of the modern world is based upon this technology. Interstellar travel is not possible without graveplate tech, much of terra- forming technology uses this technology, and inter-system travel at practical speeds is based on it as well. The uses for graveplate technology are numerous and engineers continually find new uses like the invisible fence used at the Marianas Trench Park on Ratan.
