Tractor beam

A tractor beam was a projected force field that manipulated gravitational forces to push or pull objects.^[1] Such devices were employed on some vessels, creating an energy field that allowed them to lock onto and move other vessels or objects.^[2]

Vessels employing tractor beams included the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer,^[3] the MC80 Star Cruiser,^[4] the Confederacy of Independent Systems's Recusant-class warship,^[5] and the Republic tugboat.^[2] The Death Star also contained a tractor beam and used it to draw the Millennium Falcon into one of the battlestation's hangar bays.^[6]
