The Confederacy let humans have basic antigrav technology but it has limits.
The size of an antigrav generator tends to scale up with the mass of the platform it is mounted on, requiring up to 10% of that mass, which limits the relative combat power of such a device. A grav sled capable of carrying a 300 lb injured soldier suspended in the air without propulsion is going to weigh probably 40 lbs to allow for the addition of it's own weight and the weight of the stretcher, for instance -- and this is a basic field equalization model, the easiest to build. Anything required to act as a propulsion system or exceed the strength of the field it is nullifying scales up dramatically.
Specific Antigrav-based Technologies
- Tractor beams
- Pressor beams
- Inertial compensator
