Outside the AYSE Drive
When the habitat is outside the AYSE Drive, it uses centrifugal force to generate gravity. Upon seperating from the ASYE Drive, the habitat will fire its thrusters to propel it into a barrel role which produces centrifugal force that pulls objects to the floor. Given the size of the habitat,it is only possible to generate about 0.2 g of gravity using this method; as spinning any faster will cause produce coriolis forces which induce nausea and dizziness in most people.
Within The AYSE Drive
While the habitat is docked in the AYSE Drive, the constant acceleration provided by the plasma thrusters enable the habitat to maintain an environment of about 0.5 g due to the inertia of the structures and inhabitants.
Both systems of artificial gravity can only provide a fraction of the normal gravity of earth. Thus; astronauts wear clothing thaht has strands of metal embedded in the fabric. This; combined with a magnetic field, makes up for some of the shortage.
AYSE III Drive
For the AYSE III drive, the stardrive directs a portion of the tachyons and tardyons to the bottom of the spacecraft, creating a gravitational field.
