| − | + | Acclivity stone can only be found in the [[nowhere]], making it exceptionally rare.{{book ref|sky2|25}} When charged, it glows blue, bright enough to be seen from some distance. It seems capable of holding charge for considerable amount of time - possibly centuries, though the charge does inevitably run out.{{book ref|sky1|10}} While it's rather durable, [[starfighter]] destructors are capable of destroying it, rendering it useless.{{book ref|sky1|31}} When destroyed, it lets out a flash of light.{{book ref|sky1|34}} |

| − | Charged acclivity stone seems to affect the surrounding gravity, making it weaker or possibly altering its direction. This can make objects fall more slowly and even produce lift, letting them hover and fly.{{book ref|sky1|14}} It also seems to attract [[light-lance]]s, as it's easier for them to hook on acclivity debris.{{wob ref|11430}} |

For starships and stations, the stone is fashioned into [[acclivity ring|rings]] that are attached to the underside of the vehicle.{{book ref|sky2|46}} The bigger the structure, the more acclivity rings it requires, with the largest structures necessitating hundreds of rings to keep them in orbit. Old acclivity rings can, however, be salvaged and reused, allowing for new ships to be fielded.{{book ref|sky1|25}} |

| − | Though rarely-occurring in nature, acclivity stone can have major impact on ecosystems in which it does occur. On [[ReDawn (planet)|ReDawn]] in particular, huge chunks of acclivity stone house the roots of the island trees, the megaflora which serves as the only source of the planet's breathable air. As such, it is foundational to all life in the planet's atmosphere.{{book ref|sf2|1}}{{book ref|sf2|8}} |
