Space Slug in Asteroid

Post by IRG CommandoJoe »

How was there enough gravity for Han, Leia, and Chewie to stand up and walk around inside the space slug inside the asteroid? Was the asteroid THAT big???

Inertial compensators can project outside a starship as we see in the NJO.

It is probably possible for artificial gravity systems to also project beyond a starship since both inertial compensators and arti-grav work on the same principles and the same mechanism.

Nope, the theory is that Han simply extended artifical gravity around the outside of the ship.
