I'll take the liberty of fielding the Menel/Ctan tech question though.Nature: space-time manipulation, rather than real gravity, to exert a force on the target.

Well, tractors in this case is just saying 'grab it with the gravitics'. So it'd be yet another application of the same systems that are used for a jillion other things by the Menelmacari, ranging from drives to shields to weapons. Not that it ultimately matters, now.
