Zero-point energy

Zero-point enery or vacuum energy' is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have. Timothy Zahn used this to explain away the critisism that X-Wing fly like atmospheric fighters banking and turning in the vacuum of space should'nt allow that. He assumed that S-foils meant space-foils and assumed they were pressing against the universes's vaccum energy or sometimes called zero-point energy.
