Tractor Beams

    The tractor beam emitters are used to maneuver large masses in the space surrounding the station ships and cargo . Six primary emitters are located within the defensive weapon sail towers, and six lower-power secondaries are embedded within the hull of the Docking Pylons.

    The primary tractor beam devices installed on the station are partial rebuilds of Terok Nor hardware. They operate on conventional subspace/graviton principles involving the manipulation of force beam interference patterns.
