The mechanical integrity of the physical spaceframe of a starship is augmented by the '''structural integrity field (SIF) system'''. This system provides a network of forcefield segments that compensate for propulsive and other structural load factors that otherwise exceed the design limits of the spaceframe. The '''SIF''' applies forcefield energy directly to field conductive elements within the spaceframe and increases the load-bearing capacity of the structure. | The mechanical integrity of the physical spaceframe of a starship is augmented by the '''structural integrity field (SIF) system'''.
