Human Slipspace drives are far slower than Covenant versions, only able to carry a ship at a speed of 2.625 light years per day <ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Reach|10.5 light years]]/4 days=2.625 l/d)</ref>, while Covenant drives can reach 912 light years per day<ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Zeta Doradus|38 light years]]/1 hour=38 l/h or 912 l/d)</ref>, a vastly superior rate to UNSC Slipspace technology. The capture of a Covenant Slipspace drive by the [[Master Chief]] and survivors of the [[Battle of Reach]] and survivors of the events at [[Installation 04|Halo]] may have increased the capabilities of these Human Slipspace technologies. | Human Slipspace drives are far slower than Covenant versions, only able to carry a ship at a speed of 2.625 light years per day <ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Reach|10.5 light years]]/4 days=2.625 l/d)</ref>, while Covenant drives can reach 912 light years per day<ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Zeta Doradus|38 light years]]/1 hour=38 l/h or 912 l/d)</ref>, a vastly superior rate to UNSC Slipspace technology.

One example of the differences between speeds is comparing the Covenant cruiser ''"[[Ascendant Justice]]"'' with the [[UNSC]] [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser ''"[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|The Pillar of Autumn]]."'' It took several weeks for the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to get from Reach to Installation 04, yet the ''Ascendant Justice'' could get from Installation 04 to Reach within | One example of the differences between speeds is comparing the Covenant cruiser ''"[[Ascendant Justice]]"'' with the [[UNSC]] [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser ''"[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|The Pillar of Autumn]]."''

It should be noted that the [[Forerunner]] may have been able to achieve instantaneous travel through Slipspace, as the portal generated slipstream space that allowed the fleet to travel through to the Ark in an instant. This may require a huge amount of energy as the keyship was needed to activate the portal. | It should be noted that the [[Forerunner]] may have been able to achieve instantaneous travel through Slipspace, as the portal generated slipstream space that allowed the fleet to travel through to the Ark in an instant.
