The anti-gravity properties of repulsor engines started a revolution in human spaceflight during the 24th century, but it was only relatively recently that engineers began experimenting with gravitational attraction. Tractor beams utilize rudimentary attractor technology to allow ships to attract space debris, be that the ores from a recently mined asteroid, or the dumped cargo from a merchant ship fleeing for its life. This has led to tractor beams being a popular outfit among asteroid miners and pirates alike.
