When ships | When ships jump into Slipspace, they need to reach a [[Safe Slipspace Entry Point]], or SSEP, where it can be ensured they won't drag anything from normal space into the slipstream as the ship initiates the transition.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 34</ref> Star systems have specific Slipstream space transfer points known as Interstellar Jump Points, or IJPs, where it is safe to initiate slipspace transition.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=intel Bungie.net - Halo: Reach Project Page]</ref> | ||
