The [[Covenant]] have a very finely tuned version of this technology, and it is far superior to the UNSC's. Instead of simply tearing a hole into slipspace, it cuts a very fine slit and slips into slipspace with precision (much like a scalpel compared to a chainsaw). It exits the same way, and can have pinpoint accuracy. In one instance, the [[Ascendant Justice]] is able to jump into slipspace with Cortana's understanding of Covenant technology in the presence of a gravitational field. | The [[Covenant]] have a very finely tuned version of this technology, and it is far superior to the UNSC's.

In Halo: First Strike, while inside the [[Ascendant Justice]], [[Cortana]] manages to figure out how to make a slipspace jump from within the atmosphere of [[Threshold]]. Later, a Covenant AI manages to leak the data out to the rest of the Covenant. In [[Halo 2]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] uses this knowledge to jump while directly over [[New Mombasa]], destroying the city during [[The First Battle of Earth]]. | In Halo: First Strike, while inside the [[Ascendant Justice]], [[Cortana]] manages to figure out how to make a slipspace jump from within the atmosphere of [[Threshold]].

Slipspace travel is dangerous because of the high level of radiation encountered during the trip, which is dangerous to the health of crew. This is negated by the introduction of [[Lead Foil]] to UNSC ships, which absorbs the ratiation<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 13.</ref> | |||
