could still open portals, but all known technologies are currently
prevented.
Even the welfare lobby itself is split on the issue of
providing these systems outside the sector to governments unable to develop
the inhibitor technology themselves. The question is about balancing the
need for developing societies to learn and grow, both technologically and
socially, an an appropriate rate, against the immediate security risk that
uncontrolled jumping poses.

The GDL has discovered that Jumpships and hyperspace vessels all have the same
weakness, gravity. Yes, gravity works. Gravity could throw a vessel in jumpspace
dangerously off course, cause misjumps, or rip the vessel to shreds. A vessel
attempting a jump in a high gravity area would have a hard time just entering
jumpspace. We propose a system of Gravitic Generators that could shield Val
Central, or any system for that matter, from just such attacks. The only way in
would be under sub-lightspeed power or to enter through a “lane” that is opened
only for certain parties. With advanced sensors this generator shield could
detect a unauthorized being dragged out of Jumpspace and then alert authorities.
Such a system could be quite costly in the research stage alone, but would be
quite a formidable defense against Jump-missiles.
