Repulsorlift/Legends

The repulsorlift was an anti-gravity technology capable of levitating an object. It was created from subnuclear knots of spacetime made in enormous, unmanned power refineries encompassing black holes.

Repulsorlifts only worked within a gravity well, as the technology required mass to push against. For a typical habitable planet such as Alderaan, "antigrav range" was approximately six planetary diameters, or around 75,000 kilometers. Repulsorlifts used minimal power and were reliable enough to be left on continuously.

Repulsorlifts could be assembled in arrays, clusters, or vanes studded with micro-coils of gravitic knots. Repulsorlifts were usually placed on the underside of a vehicle or spacecraft. The many repulsorlifts needed for large ships were typically powered by an antigrav generator.

Ships as massive as the Clone Wars era Venator-class Star Destroyers and Lucrehulk-class Core Ships were able to make planetfall with the aid of massive repulsorlift suspensor units installed in their ventral section. In fact, the landing legs of a Core Ship could not long support the ship's immense weight without the aid of repulsorlifts.

The Verpine of the Roche asteroids utilized repulsorlifts in asteroid shepherding.
