Artificial graviton generation used to provide for gravity fields, inertial dampers within starships
Starfleet artificial gravity provided by networked gravity generators, commonly known as gravity plating or gravity net (TNG Novel: The Buried Age; DS9: "Explorers", "Treachery, Faith and the Great River"; VOY: "Alice")
- Superconducting stators embedded into duranium plating (TNG Technical Manual; TNG Novel: The Buried Age; VOY: "Alice")
- Gravity strength can be adjusted by accelerating or braking stators (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
- Designed to fail safe, continuing to spin via inertia and generate gravity for up to four hours (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
On Starfleet vessels, during warp drive operation gravity system is slaved to warp subsystem to better provide operation of inertial dampers (TNG Novel: A Time to Die)
- System transition removes overrides of internal gravity field setting, reverting to default configuration (TNG Novel: A Time to Die)
Gravity system provides for graviton generation in tractor beam system (TOS Novel: Errand of Vengeance: The Edge of the Sword)

Grav weights (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: This Gray Spirit)
- Exercise accessory enhancing strength of artificial gravity field, providing greater resistance (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: This Gray Spirit)
