    From TL9, Traveller uses gravitic drives. Handwavium states they use gravity in maneuvering the ship. I could give a nice long explanation about vectors and cancellation of local gravitational fields, but I tend to save it for the players.

    Basically, inside a planet's gravity well, the drive would be using the planet's gravity to maneuver. Outside, it would use the general field of the solar system. It does have implications for maneuvering the ship should you misjump and find yourself outside a solar system.
