Artificial gravity is a gravitic field that is induced locally in order to maintain the effect of gravity outside of a planetary body. Artificial gravity is commonly used in ships and space stations, and is most commonly utilized by layers of gravitic panels installed under the floor that project a gravitic field. When used in space ships, artificial gravity systems also utilize gravitic inertial dampeners that can detect accelerations in the ship and project a gravitic field to cancel out any Gs that the crew may be subjected to, preventing them from being killed when accelerating in space. In smaller ships, the crew may still feel a small force from the ship turning and accelerating, but in larger ships with stronger dampeners the crew feels essentially nothing from the ship's acceleration.
