The UNCN Japanese fleet takes off using Inertia Control
Inertia Control is an advanced technology that can freely manipulate gravity and inertial mass,[1] it's used by most known human species to allow smoother take-offs and landings for spacecrafts, as well as creating and controlling artificial gravity.
Technical Specifications[]
Inertia Control is an advanced technology that can manipulate gravity and intertial mass by modifying the mass of the craft it's equipped on. By controlling gravity, Inertia Control can be used to launch and land spaceships more smoothly or to create artificial gravity inside of them. Additionally, since accelleration is linked to the mass of an object, by modifying its mass through Inertia Control spaceships can perform sudden accellerations, decelerations, or rotations.[1]
In the absence of artificial gravity generated by Inertia Control, crewmembers aboard spaceships usually don magnetic shoes to remain attached to the ship.[2][3]
Inertia Control is based on the Higgs Drive.[4]
History[]
Inertia Control has been developed by all known space-faring human species. The Earthlings had access to Inertia Control since at least 2164, the launch year of the Martian Autonomous Government Space Navy.[5] However, until the commissioning of the space battleship Yamato in 2199, Terran Inertia Control was not capable of generating artificial gravity inside ships, and crew members were forced to use magnetic shoes while in space.[6][7]
The Dezarian space fortress Autoplanet Golba had a field generator capable of controlling the inertia of entire planets and could control the gravity of all the space that surrounded it by generating multiple gravity gradients.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
In Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Astronomical Research Professor Toshihiro Handa mentions the Higgs boson as the origin of mass, suggesting it may be the origin of Inertia Control.[1] The name of the Higgs Drive seems to confirm this.
