Deep-Space Rings
| Composition | Nb₃Sn Superconductor |
| Pulse Load | 1.21 GW Transfer |
| Mass | 28,000 kg Platform |
The massive, stationary ring waiting in space. Actively generates the gravitational gradient to suck the ship inward upon "The Snap".
| Material | Graphene-Carbon Mesh |
| Scale | 100 Meter Arrays |
| Role | Waste Heat Dump |
Drains and disperses extreme heat from metric friction—preventing the passing spacecraft from boiling under the tidal shear.
| Laser Type | 337 nm UV Pulse |
| Role | Transition Start Handshake |
Tags the approaching spacecraft, signaling that the gate is ready. Triggers the ship's X-Ray burst to polarize the vacuum "Grease".
| Media | Graphene-Sulphur Bank |
| Location | Gate Exterior Pods |
Coordinates exactly with the ship's super-capacitors, pooling 1ms energy limits on the station side prior to the gravitational transition.
| Function | Recoil Absorption |
| Speed | < 500 ms Nullification |
Absorbs the "recoil" or metric wake of the spacetime snap, preventing the Highway from "ringing" like a bell and damaging subsequent transit queue stability.
