Forgive my advanced ignorance, but doesn’t the mass have to rotate to induce the gravity field? Or have I drowned in a sea of sci-fi hog swill.

Negative on the rotation.

That’s why it’s called science “fiction”.

Rotation has no effect on gravitational pull, just the ability to resist it via centripetal force.
