A gravitic sensor was a type of sensor linked to a starship's hyperdrive. Gravitic sensors scanned for mass shadows while in hyperspace, and if one was detected close to the vessel, it could cut out the hyperdrive to stop the ship from colliding with the object.

  • Gravitic sensors were sensors designed to measure the influence of gravity on their surroundings. Warships of the Diaspora era were usually equipped with such devices to detect other ships' impeller drive. Gravitic Array Technicians were responsible for maintaining them. (HHA4.5: F) Gravitic sensors 'see' FTL, therefore can monitor ships impeller drives in 'Real Time.' (HH2) Civilian ships also used gravitic sensors, but with much more limited range. (HH6) The Mesan spider drive was specifically designed to be undetectable by gravitic sensors. (SI2)
