Aside from employing traditional [[Nuclear fission|fission]]-based nuclear power, [[human]]ity has mastered nuclear fusion as a viable source of energy.

[[Covenant Empire|The Covenant]] use [[pinch fusion reactor]]s to power their starships and weapon emplacements. These reactors employ [[tritium]]-[[deuterium]] reactions and [[Wikipedia:Pinch (plasma physics)|pinched]] magnetic fields that compress and heat the [[plasma]] produced by the reaction.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 193''</ref>
