Large objects can generate gravitational fields that extend far into space. Consequently, human [[slipspace]] navigation is hindered by the effect these gravity wells have upon the quantum field of the Slipstream, and ships must make their calculations away from such factors. With an increased resolution of the Slipstream, such as that possessed by Forerunner and, consequently, Covenant slipspace matrices, calculations can be made to compensate for this effect.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref> | Large objects can generate gravitational fields that extend far into space.
