~~==Summary==~~

'''Slipspace''' travel has been the [[UNSC]]'s main way of traveling from planet to planet, and star system to star system. Before this technology was discovered by Shaw and Fujikawa in 2291, the engineers who built the first Slipspace engine, mankind was never able to leave their home star system of [[Sol]]. But now the UNSC traverses the galaxy in spacecraft to whole new worlds.

==Mechanics==

This new engine allowed ships to tunnel into "the Slipstream" (also called "Slipspace"). Technically called "Shaw-Fujikawa Space" (after the mathematicians who predicted its existence), Slipspace is a domain with alternate physical laws, allowing faster-than-light travel without relativistic side-effects (much like hyperspace from the popular Star Wars movies). Faster-than-light travel is not instantaneous; "short" jumps routinely take up to two months, and "long" jumps can last six months or more, which is why most [[UNSC]] ships have cryo chambers.
