Artificial gravity is a collection of systems designed to mimic the gravity of a planet so that working in space is easier.
Gravity Plating
Gravity plating was a collection of plates used to simulate a gravity environment on starships. Gravity plating could be lined along a ship's exterior hull, or across the interior deck plates.
Artificial Gravity Generator
The artificial gravity generator was a component of more advanced starships. The artificial gravity generator changed the environment of a starship from zero gravity to artificial gravity, using the vessel's gravity plating.
