A "Slipspace wake" is a phenomenon occurring for some time after a ship has made a slipspace transition. When another, slower ship encounters a slipspace wake, they will be pushed to the speed of the ship that left the wake, thus propelling them through Slipspace at the same velocity. The {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} took two weeks to get to Installation 05 via the ''[[Solemn Penance]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weakening "wake",<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''Chapter 22'', ''page 186''</ref> but came back to [[Earth]] within hours by following the Forerunner Dreadnought's wake.{{Ref/Note| | A "Slipspace wake" is a phenomenon occurring for some time after a ship has made a slipspace transition.

They had caught a wake in slipstream space, one indeterminably larger than the Covenant wake they had followed."'' This creates an inconsistency with later canon, such as [http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16989 this timeline], which reveals that the Dreadnought took five days to reach the Sol system and another nine days to reach Earth, instead of a few hours. Therefore, the ''Dusk''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s speedy return to Earth may have been the result of a Slipspace anomaly. Indeed, ''Incorruptible''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s navigation officer [[Zasses 'Jeqkogoee]] notes the presence of anomalies within the dimension [[YED-4]] around the timeframe of the Dreadnought's transition.}} The crew of the ''Dusk'' later exploited the ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s outbound wake to get to [[Onyx]], thirty-eight light years away, within an hour. | ||
