GravBoots begin as an unremarked piece of military kit in the early trilogy, then emerge in Iron Gold as the signature personal-flight technology of the post-Republic era. By Dark Age their gravity-field generators have become both a tactical advantage and a glaring vulnerability, their metal components susceptible to the magnetic weapons that proliferate in the war-torn Rim and Core. Across the series they evolve from background equipment into a decisive factor in boarding actions, urban combat, and the desperate last stands of the Rising.
