Special Features​

Harpoon Deployment System: Fired from a compatible launcher; embeds into hull plating before deploying clamp assembly. Magnetic Hull Clamp: Anchors securely to most starship-grade alloys. Localized Gravitic Field: Generates a controlled mass-shadow distortion sufficient to disrupt hyperspace calculations and jump initiation. Repulsor Disruption: Interferes with launch stabilization systems in smaller craft. Integrated Tracking Suite: Emits encrypted telemetry for location tracking and recovery operations. Self-Contained Power Cell: Limited operational duration to prevent indefinite immobilization.

Strength​

Rapid Deployment: Can be attached at range via harpoon launcher. Hyperspace Interference: Prevents or disrupts jump calculations for small-to-medium vessels. Secure Clamp: Difficult to remove without specialized tools. Tracking Assurance: Provides reliable telemetry once attached.

Weakness​

Limited Power Duration: Operates for a finite window before depletion. Countermeasures: Advanced gravitic shielding or precision or specialized slicing may disable tracking functions.

Description​

The Port Authority B.O.O.T. — Bridge Of Orbital Tethering — is a compact gravitic enforcement device designed to halt unauthorized departures and secure evasive craft. Upon impact, the harpoon anchors the unit to the target hull and deploys a magnetic clamp assembly. Once engaged, the internal gravitic projector emits a localized mass-shadow distortion, interfering with hyperspace calculations and destabilizing repulsor-assisted launch attempts. Simultaneously, an encrypted telemetry beacon activates, transmitting location data to authorized receivers. The B.O.O.T. is not intended for large-scale interdiction. Rather, it functions as a tactical immobilizer — a precise, temporary anchor ensuring that a vessel remains exactly where it is until authorities, retrieval teams, or less patient parties arrive. Several can be launched one after another about 5 per load.
