Repulsorlift/Legends

A repulsorlift is an anti-gravity technology in the fictional Star Wars universe, capable of levitating any object to which it is applied to. It is created from constituents that are subnuclear knots of spacetime made in enormous, unmanned power refineries encompassing black holes.

Repulsorlifts are usually assembled in arrays or clusters. They may also be assembled as vanes infused with micro-coils of gravitic knots, or coils. The placement of these repulsorlifts are usually under the vehicle or spacecraft.

In large ships, the repulsorlift is powered by an antigrav generator. Usually the larger the ship, the more repulsorlifts needed, and their size also increases.

The Death Star moved through space using giant repulsorlift dishes, however the space station was never made to land on a surface, so they were positioned around the central equatorial trench. Smaller Death Star-like spacecraft like the Trade Federation core ships seen in Attack of the Clones had their repulsorlifts concentrated at their lower ends. In addition to the lifts, large legs and an exhaust thrust was needed to land on Geonosis as the repulsorlifts could not hold them up alone.
