Gravity-Well Generators

Gravity-Well Generators are devices that send out powerful gravity waves that disrupt the mass lines in space, thereby simulating the presence of a large stellar body such as an asteroid or a planet. The presence of such simulated mass prevents ships in the area from engaging their hyperdrives, and also drops ships already in hyperspace back to realspace. Gravity-Well Generators work only against hyperdrive vessels, although the Gigerdi Alliance has been known to develop a special version of this device that works against Bacterian wormhole-based propulsion systems.
