An Acclivity ring is a ring made of acclivity stone, a powerful substance that acts as anti-gravity when powered. DDF and Krell ships both use acclivity rings to keep their ships in the air. They allow a ship to remain in the air even if the ship is motionless. These rings are very rare, and salvage and recovery of these rings is one of Admiral Ironside's top worries and priorities[citation needed].

Acclivity rings can be rotated to stop out of control dives, as well as advanced maneuvering[citation needed]. As well as on ships, acclivity rings are used for hovercars, hoverbikes, and perhaps other devices[citation needed].
