Interdiction field/Legends

An interdiction field is an artificial gravity well, which disables hyperspace capability in most starships. They can be used to prevent ships from entering hyperspace, and also to draw ships out of hyperspace and into realspace.

This technology is often put to use by pirates in order to pull vulnerable cruisers out of hyperspace in order to be boarded.

Technology has been developed by the Bakurans which is capable of nullifying the affects of an interdiction field.
