|Hundreds of acclivity rings. If this thing falls, and we can salvage it, it could transform the DDF.
 
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]] 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}}
