Description
After the discovery of gravitonium in Era-1, gravity manipulation became possible, and one of the main applications was to modify the gravitational fields of planets, to make them more amenable to human life.
Gravity Satellites are a massive investment for a planet, because of the large amount of gravitonium needed. Gravitonium is both rare and dangerous to obtain, since it is most often found in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars, making it quite expensive.
Since a Gravity Satellite exerts a cone of influence between its self and the surface of the planet it orbits, it takes a number of them to fully adjust a planet's environment. Most planets that have gravity satellites, only have a few in geostationary orbits creating a band of adjusted gravity around the equator. Many planets with partial systems have the problem of inconsistent coverage, where the surface gravity varies throughout the day. Few planets are wealthy enough to have full and consistent coverage.
