Every ship equipped with a Gravitic Shield Generator can utilize Jump Gates
STRENGTHS
Super Defense: Gravitic Shield Generators effectively used gravity to bend space around the ship/station making most kinetics, lasers, and even light shot directly at the object to simply circle it and shoot off in a random direction. Significantly powerful/fast moving objects can penetrate the shielding however.
WEAKNESSES
Weak Offense: Gravitic Shield Generators however also do the same thing with weaponry and light shot from the ship making utilizing weaponry while shields are off effectively impossible. This means shields have to be entirely downed to fire or windows have to be opened up periodically.
Not Stealthy: Each Gravitic Shield Generator requires an incredible amount of power and leaves a clear foot print on most scanners, not to mention when you look at a ship even if light is bending around it, it tends to create a kind of ring of light around the event horizon. Small asteroids and dust will often tend to fall into somewhat irregular orbits around ships with their shields up as well.
Counter-Gravity: Other gravity manipulating devices can effectively just open up holes in the Gravitic shields
DESCRIPTION
Gravitic Shield Generators were originally a technology paired with the jump gates, turned on for transit and turned off whenever you got where you were going. However, the Thraeda revolutionized the tech by making it far more sustainable for longer periods of time and figuring out methods and calculations to open up windows to allow weaponry to fire out. No one is entirely sure who invented this technology as it has existed in the Thraeda's home galaxy for as long as any species history has been recorded, but its use has allowed for easy transit across their galaxy.
