Human | Human Slipspace drives are far slower than Covenant versions, only able to carry a ship at a speed of 2.625 lightyears per day <ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Reach|10.5 lightyears]]/4 days=2.625 l/d)</ref>, while Covenant drives can reach 9.12 lightyears per day<ref>Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Zeta Doradus|38 lightyears]]/1 hour=38 l/h or 912 l/d)</ref>, an almost 350% increase in superiority 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 Human Slipspace technologies. | ||
One example of the differences between speed differences 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 13 hours. | One example of the differences between speed differences is comparing the Covenant cruiser ''"[[Ascendant Justice]]"'' with the [[UNSC]] [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser ''"[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|The Pillar of Autumn]]"''.
