Powered by a small [[pinch fusion reactor]], the Covenant's impulse drives convert energy and a small amount of exotic matter into thrust. This process creates a vivid stream of virtual neutrons and protons as a byproduct. Power can be redirected from the craft's other systems to temporarily boost acceleration.{{Ref/Reuse|wf59}} As craft fitted with impulse drives are capable of accelerating and decelerating at bone-crushing rates, the crafts require inertial dampers to keep occupants safe.<ref name="tick">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/tick '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Tick'']</ref> | Powered by a small [[pinch fusion reactor]], the Covenant's impulse drives convert energy and a small amount of exotic matter into thrust.
