'''Slipspace guidance beacons''' are [[slipstream space]] navigational aid devices used by the [[UNSC]]. Dropped into slipspace by another vessel such as a [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], they are intended to assist other vessels in performing short in-system jumps with more accuracy than otherwise possible, something that can be of considerable advantage in a space engagement. Even with the use of guidance beacons however, human slipspace technology is not perfect, especially when the jump is performed near a significant [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]]. This was demonstrated during the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in [[2543]], when a part of [[Battle Group India]] reappeared from an in-system jump scattered from the main group despite guidance beacons planted by the [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Wink of an Eye}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 477''</ref> | '''Slipspace guidance beacons''' are [[slipstream space]] navigational aid devices used by the [[UNSC]].
