A tractor beam was an attenuated graviton beam used by starships and space stations to control the movement of foreign objects. Tractor beams were used in combat or to tow other starships.
A variant of the tractor beam was known as a trocktor beam, which was a grappling hook made up of vines. (Stone Trek)
