Artificial gravity was produced by grav plating. When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 lost power to its engines during first contact with the Talosians in 2254, Spock noted that were it not for backup battery power, they would have lost gravity and life support.[1] After an encounter with the Galactic Barrier on Stardate 1312.4, gravity aboard the Enterprise was reduced to 0.8g.[2] Gravity could be set to different levels within different areas of a single ship, such as when the Enterprise computer was affected by the radiation of an unknown cloud and began playing practical jokes on the crew, it turned off the gravity in the computer core in an attempt to prevent Mr. Scott from reaching its logic circuits and turning it off.[3]
