The gravity well projector creates an artificial hyperspace shadow that makes hyperspace travel difficult to impossible depending on its proximity. The operator makes a ranged touch attack (DC 10) targeted at a particular starship or point in space (pick a spot on the combat display). Once placed, a gravity well remains stationary until deactivated by the operator. Failure indicates that the gravity well cannot be activated that round.
A ship can move away from the gravity well with the Increase Range maneuver (the opposed Pilot roll automatically succeeds). A ship that is at Point Blank range from a gravity well has a +30 to the DC to enter hyperspace. A ship that is at Short range from a gravity well has a +20 to the DC to enter hyperspace. A ship that is at Medium range from a gravity well has a +10 to the DC to enter hyperspace. There is no effect at Long or Sensor range.
A gravity well projector can be deactivated, but it can only be reactivated after a 1 minute (10 round) delay. Attemping to activate the projector early increases the DC by +5 per round less than 10 (e.g., attempting to activate on round 8 makes the DC for the ranged touch attack 20). Failure by up to 5 points indicates that the gravity well cannot be activated that round, but a failure by 6 or more points indicates that the projector was destroyed by the attempt.
Interdictor-class heavy cruisers also carry two squadrons of TIE fighters (24 craft total). This vessel was introduced several years before the Battle of Yavin.
