Gravity affects any type of physical exertion in different ways. In the Solar System of Lowell Was Right!, there are basically four sorts of gravitational conditions:
Zero Gravity
This is the condition prevalent during Boost-Drift-Brake space travel. Boosting and braking are of short duration, and most of the travel is done under Zero G conditions. While not quite Zero G, the micro-gravity of tiny moons and smaller asteroids can be classified as Zero G for game purposes.
Very Light Gravity
This is the condition for Slow Boost space flight, and for the smaller worlds in the system - Luna, Callisto, Io, Ganymede, Europa, Titan, Triton, and Ceres. It is approximately 0.16 (one sixth) G.
Light Gravity
This is the condition for the medium-sized worlds in the system - Mars and Mercury. It is approximately 0.3 (one third) G.
Standard Gravity
This is the condition for the large worlds in the system - Earth and Venus. It is approximately 1.0 G.
The Gas Giants have heavier gravity, but there is no way to experience it and live.
Effects of the Various Gravities
The effects of the various gravities depends on the gravity you normally live in.
People From Zero G
In Zero G, things are normal.
In Very Light G, you have a -3 to your TN on all tasks based on STR, AGY, or END, and all Missile Skill tasks. After a month, this improves to -2 to the TN, and after a year to -1 to the TN,. Also, all Quality of Success for STR based checks is halved.
In Light G, you can barely move. You have a -5 to your TN on all tasks based on STR, AGY, or END, and all Missile Skill tasks. After a month, this improves to -4 to the TN, and after a year to -3. Also, all Quality of Success for STR based checks is divided by four.
In Standard G, you are helpless.
People from Very Light G
In Zero G, you have a -3 to your TN on all tasks based on STR, AGY, or END, and all Missile Skill tasks.
After a week, this improves to -2 to the TN, after a month to -1 to the TN, and after a year to normal. Also, all Quality of Success for STR based checks is doubled.

In Standard G, you have a -5 to your TN on all tasks based on STR, AGY, or END, and all Missile Skill tasks. After a month, this improves to -4 to the TN, and after a year to -3. Also, all Quality of Success for STR based checks is divided by six.
