Chapter Four: Space
Everything is changing, shifting all the time. The only certain thing is
the objective, and that in itself was a target in motion.
In the theatre of ZeroG combat, there was no such thing as zero gravity,
the label was a misnomer.
Gravitational fields were among the most important factors to consider
in the shifting landscape of combat.
Manipulation of the forces of Gravity was absolutely crucial,
understanding them, tracking their movement, anticipating the flux in them was
vital to any mission commander.
There were batteries of instruments on every interstellar combat vessel
devoted to the detection of gravitational waves and particles, and there were humans
interpreting those signals and sending data to all of the smaller vessels under
its command.
Combat took place in the vacuum of space, but any combat taking place in
proximity to the gravitational field of planetary or astral bodies had to take
precise measurement of their power, both to dampen or accelerate inertia.
Gravity wells, and singularities, could be generated artificially. The
generation of artificial mass were among the deadliest weapons in the imperial
arsenal.
It took only moments for artificial mass to become actual mass by
capturing nearby objects.
The tactical deployment of these devices and the navigation of them,
were the keys to victory in deep space.
It could be catastrophic if deployed to close to a planet or a star.
