Tractor beam

"We're caught in a tractor beam! It's pulling us in!"

- Han Solo

A tractor beam was a device employed on some vessels, an energy field that allowed them to lock onto and move other vessels or objects.

Vessels employing tractor beams included the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser and the interstellar tug. The Death Star also contained a tractor beam and used it to draw the Millennium Falcon into one of the battlestation's hangar bays.
