Grappler
The grappler was a metallic cable with claws on the end that could be launched by a starship to
grapple objects in space. The grapplers utilized a magnetic lock device to attach to objects. The more
effective tractor beam eventually supercedes this device although some species maintained the use
of grapplers well into the 2160s. Grapplers can be extended to 5 kilometers.

Tractor Beam
A tractor beam is an attenuated linear graviton beam used by starships and space stations
to control the movement of external objects. The beam places spatial stresses on the
object in specific areas allowing the ship using the tractor beam to hold the object in a
fixed location or alter its position or trajectory.
Tractor beams are generally only used at sub-warp velocities. To safely tow a vessel at
warp speed, the target vessel’s engines must be deactivated to avoid shearing forces
against both the towing and towed vessels. Using a tractor beam can be done at warp
speed only if both vessels' speeds are exactly matched. Tractor beams have a range of 18
kilometers.

Warp Drive
Warp drive is a technology that allows space travel at faster-than-light speeds. It does this
by generating warp fields to form a subspace bubble that envelops the starship, distorting
the local space-time continuum and moving the starship at velocities that exceed the
speed of light. These velocities are referred to as warp factors.
Warp Drive costs 8 energy points to have online plus an increasing amount of energy the
faster the starship travels. See the ‘Warp Speed and Energy Costs’ table below for
specifics. The speed of light is commonly referred to as C (C = 1 billion kph).
