Voidhawks travel by manipulating gravity, much of their internal organs are devoted to patterning and focusing energy to this effect.
It is analogous to a surfer who can create a wave under his board, slides gracefully along without need for apparent thrust. The speed and acceleration limits
of a voidhawk greatly exceed what any human crew could withstand. Voidhawks can create a secondary localised manipulation of gravity to provide the crew with both normal gravity for ease of operation, as well as
cusioning inertial effects experienced in acceleration. However this counter gravity manipulation can only exert a maximum of 3 earth gravity’s, When the void hawk accelerates faster than this the crew must endure
the normal effects of high gee manoeuvres by strapping in.
3g is the acceleration experienced in a racing car or roller coaster for a few seconds, during combat the crew might experience prolonged exposure to
acceleration as high as 6 gee, or as high as 15 gee for a few moments
