Ship nets were what the Vagaari called gravity projectors and were used to keep enemy ships from escaping to hyperspace. Ship nets were carried onboard Vagaari ships in a collapsed position and when deployed would take on a spherical shape. They would then produce gravity similar in magnitude to that of a planet. This mass shadow would cause nearby ships to be unable to jump to hyperspace. It would also cause any ship crossing its path in hyperspace to be yanked back into real space.

  • Ship nets were what the Vagaari called gravity projectors and were used to keep enemy ships from escaping to hyperspace. Ship nets were carried onboard Vagaari ships in a collapsed position and when deployed would take on a spherical shape. They would then produce gravity similar in magnitude to that of a planet. This mass shadow would cause nearby ships to be unable to jump to hyperspace. It would also cause any ship crossing its path in hyperspace to be yanked back into real space. Thrawn stole one of these ship nets and used it to trap a Trade Federation Task Force, Outbound Flight, and the Vagaari Fleet themselves. Due to Thrawn's tactical genius and their inability to escape, all three groups were crippled or destroyed. Presumably, Thrawn later handed the ship net, along with the remainder of the defeated Vagaari Fleet, over to the Chiss Government for study and reverse engineering. The Galactic Republic was familiar with the theory behind gravity projectors (usually called Interdiction fields), having possessed less powerful versions of this technology four millennia earlier. Interdictors were used by Thrawn while he was Grand Admiral in the Galactic Empire. Thrawn's information on the Vagaari ship nets may have been the basis for Imperial Interdictor technology. That technology was later passed to the Galactic Alliance and the Hapes Government.
