Field Effect

Field technologies, sometimes referred to as effectors, defy primitive physics by being able to create action at a distance. The non-localized phenomena of field effect systems is key to many high-end technologies.

Utility

The ability to create non-localized phenomena at will is extremely useful and desirable in many cases - shields, artificial gravity projectors, disintegrators, and many strategic weapons all make use of field technology to some degree.

Access & Availability

Due to their sophistication, field effect systems are well beyond the reach of younger civilizations. Those that do understand them, however, gain access to incredible capabilities that would put them on the level of gods in the eyes of those aforementioned civilizations.
