Developed in [[2291]] by the physicists [[Tobias Fleming Shaw]] and [[Wallace Fujikawa]], the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine generates ruptures by using high-power cyclic particle accelerators to generate microscopic black holes. | Developed in [[2291]] by the physicists [[Tobias Fleming Shaw]] and [[Wallace Fujikawa]], the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine generates ruptures by using high-power cyclic particle accelerators to generate microscopic black holes. Throughout much of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the technology was still limited and jumps typically took months or over half a year. | ||
By the end of the war, human advances in science and engineering, as well as captured Forerunner technology allowed for the construction of slipspace drives almost on par with those of the Covenant. The [[UNSC Infinity|UNSC ''Infinity'']] was capable of making slipspace transitions within an accuracy of one kilometer, and within one second of expected arrival time. | |||
