Simulated gravity served as a method for creating gravity inside a starship navigating through space, enabling those on the ship to maintain an upright position.
The Moveable Feast provides an illustration of a starship using simulated gravity. During a voyage with Lina and Milo Graf as prisoners, the ship suffered damage, which in turn caused the simulated gravity to diminish. As a result, Milo almost floated away after losing his balance when the vessel lurched.
During the Spectres' mission aboard Transport 651 to rescue Wookiee prisoners, Sabine Wren instructed the astromech droid Chopper to deactivate the ship's gravity generator, which disabled the simulated gravity for a duration of two minutes, subsequently causing significant distress to the Imperials present on the ship.
Fyzen Gor, a scientist, possessed the capability to artificially generate a gravitational center in the vicinity of his Phylanx Redux Transmitter.
