In addition to the radiation of slipspace, Cherenkov radiation is emitted by fissile materials upon entry and exit of the dimension, requiring all slipspace-capable craft to be lined with lead as radiation protection. ~~The stress caused to small craft~~, ~~such~~ as ~~a dropship,~~ is considerable, ~~one of the reasons only large ships are equipped with slipspace drives~~ and can tear a craft ~~apart~~. <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], pg. 289</ref>
