Interdiction field

Interdiction fields, also known as interception fields and countergravity fields, are special gravity wells generated by interdiction projectors that function similar to barodrives. Due to the amount of energy required to generate interdiction fields, the technology saw no practical applications in the Coalition of Congressional Republics until the 2600s and the introduction of the Anchor-class interdiction cruiser.
== Function ==
In essence, interdiction fields are gravity fields projected from a dedicated interdiction projector, utilizing a single kugelblitz sourced from a small antimatter reactor to, in turn, source gravitons needed for simple gravity lasers that help to produce the field. However, unlike a proper barodrive, interdiction fields have no capabilities of manipulating barospace, as there are no attenuation of its respective gravitons in any physical manner. Instead, these interdiction fields serve as gravitic disruptors to ships passing through barospace, or alternatively as gravitic stoppers preventing ships from properly entering barospace. 
This is due to the proximal interactions between the normal gravitons of the interdiction field and the excited gravitons of the other vessel's barodrive, causing a loss in the latter's gravitonic population inversion. This loss of excited, attenuated gravitons thus leads to a dissipation of its warp bubble and any subsequent capacity for faster-than-light travel.
The purpose of interdiction fields lies in stopping vessels from leaving a preset area, or to force vessels traveling to a present area through a predetermined trajectory to abruptly leave their heightened brane state. This is because barodrives are vulnerable to any and all gravity fields that lie in the wake of its trajectory path, as the natural gravitons from any other gravity well other than its own at close ranges can greatly diminish the modulation of its own produced gravitons, thus preventing transitioning into barospace. Such a principle is why spaceships can never warp directly into the close orbit of a planemo, star, or other celestial object with significant enough mass to have a large gravity well.
