Any large mass has a gravitational pull ; since this is observable when
a
small pleasure boat comes within a few metres of a super tanker at
bearth
and is pulled towards the hull (both ships stationary)
It is totally fesible that the 1/3 g of C&C is due to the MASS of B5 as
a
whole on the outlying section that does not rotate.
