Void habitats as they are currently known will be entirely outmoded by the advent of anti-gravity technology. All utilize some form of rotation to support the permanent population onboard, and their entire structure is designed to facilitate this function. All levels of a habitat are built around the walls of the superstructure, and as with voidships, it would be entirely implausible to simply rebuilt the stations with the new technology incorporated with horizontal decks. In many ways, the existing vertical system is more beneficial, as it allows for more space within the interior of the station, and allows for a wider range of ships to dock within. It will take decades for corporations to design new habitats that provide many of the benefits stations with artificial gravity now possess, and given the nature of the corporations themselves, they will no doubt seek to avoid having to do so for as long as they can reasonably get away with. On a more terrestrial level, anti-gravity has opened a number of doors for civil engineers and architects, who are now no longer restrained by the effects of gravity upon buildings and facilities. However, at the moment, the technology remains far to expensive for them to use on a small scale, and will likely remain so for many decades.

Another development attributed to the new anti-gravity technologies is the development of inertia-less voidships, a technology that effectively overhauls and revolutionizes the way these vessels move through space. Anti-gravitational fields are generated around the vessel in question, and the settings configured in such a manner as to shift the Newtonian physics of the vessels to perform as if it were located in an atmospheric setting, allowing the ship to "fly" through space without conforming to the current mode of "flip-and-burn" maneuvers all voidships must conform to. As highlighted by the aforementioned redesign of ship hulls to accommodate the use of gravity within ships, more unique styles of voidship could be developed to operate in space as well in the atmosphere of a planet based on the now feasible "winged" designs coming out across the League.
