A 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 tractor beam places spatial stresses on the object in specific areas, allowing it to hold the "tractored" object in a fixed location or alter its position and/or trajectory. While tractor beams are normally used to pull objects towards the beam source – usually to tow objects – conversely, they could also be set to repel objects. They are most often employed to tow a disabled or vulnerable ship to safety, or sometimes, used by an enemy ship to control the movement of the target vessel. | ||
Tractor beams | Tractor beams are generally only used at sub-warp velocities. To safely tow a vessel at warp speed, the target vessel's engines have to be deactivated to avoid shearing forces against the towing vessel. A tractor beam can be used at warp speed only if both vessels' speeds are exactly matched. | ||
The type of Tractor Arrays on the Avandar are | The type of Tractor Arrays on the Avandar are three Delta Class (Aft Ventral, Forward Ventral, Forward Dorsal) and one Alpha Class (Shuttlebay). | ||

They typically include artificial gravity, inertial dampers and atmospheric controls. Failure of these systems prompts a computer safeguard to order the evacuation of the starship in question. Aboard some vessels the imminent failure of the life support system constitutes a blue alert situation. | ||

The environmental controls of a starship, space station, or even a colony | The environmental controls of a starship, space station, or even a colony are used to regulate atmospheric conditions including, but not limited to, the concentration of varying gases, lighting, temperature, humidity, and gravity. Aboard Federation starships and space stations it is typical for there to be limited access to environmental control within crew quarters in order to meet the varied living requirements of these multi-species structures. Typically, environmental controls for humidity are set to 37% in standard conditions on Federation starships. | ||

Environmental controls are often used to deploy certain chemicals ship-wide or station-wide. This is done for both benign purposes, such as the release of a retrovirus to cure a ship-wide epidemic, or for more aggressive purposes, such as the release of a general anesthetic. | |||
