N2  - In the last decade, the constructive gravity programme was developed to expand Einstein's
derivation of general relativity to matter bearing a non-Lorentzian geometric structure. This
thesis studies the phenomenology of general linear electrodynamics (GLED), the maximal linear
generalisation of Maxwellian electrodynamics, and its corresponding gravitational dynamics. We
derive quantum interaction rules for GLED Dirac quantum mechanics to determine the decay
width of the Cherenkov decay of superluminar particles in vacuum. With this, we obtain two non-
Lorentzian parameters of the GLED geometry. We employ a weak Field limit of GLED gravity
in astrophysics, study the stability of symmetric gravitationally bound matter distributions and
the internal structure of stars. Using galaxy rotation curves, we are able to estimate ranges for
both additional gravitational constants arising from weak field GLED gravity. Finally, we derive
and solve the linear growth equation which governs the structure formation in the early Universe,
and calculate the bispectrum in tree-level perturbation theory.
