The graviton tether system is a ship-recovery technology that pulls damaged or disabled vessels into docking bays. The Magnus system uses graviton tethers to draw ships into Docking Bay 1.
¶ Function
The system projects controlled gravitational force across distance, captures a target vessel, and guides it toward a docking facility without requiring the damaged ship's engines.
¶ Applications
Graviton tethers support rescue, repair, transport, and military recovery. Large Sphere warships use them alongside docking bays, scout ships, and repair crews to service smaller vessels.
¶ Risks and Limits
Safe use requires control over relative motion, target mass, hull integrity, and docking alignment. The canon record does not establish exact range or power consumption.
¶ Distinctions
Graviton tethers do not create wormholes and are separate from gravity plating and mass-adjustment technology.
