*When a ship encounters a "Slipspace wake", they will be pushed to the speed the ship made. The [[UNSC]] Dusk took 2 weeks to get to Installation 05 via the [[Prophet of Regret|Prophet of Regret's]] [[Assault Carrier|Assault Carrier's]] weakening "wake", but came back to [[Earth]] within hours by following the Forerunner Dreadnought's wake. | *When a ship encounters a "Slipspace wake", they will be pushed to the speed the ship made.

*Because all communications can take years or decades to travel the light years between colonized star systems, [[UNSC]] civilians use Slipstream packets. They use the Slipstream to travel and to send communication signals significantly faster than otherwise possible, allowing faster communication between the [[UNSC]] colonies. | *Because all communications can take years or decades to travel the light years between colonized star systems, [[UNSC]] civilians use Slipstream packets.

*[[Nicole-458]] was sent back in time, because of a Slipspace accident. Similarly, it also caused a [[Melissa (AI)|UNSC AI]] to be transported from the year 2552 to the year 2004.

Similarly, it also caused a [[Melissa (AI)|UNSC AI]] to be transported from the year 2552 to the year 2004. This is because it is presumed that Slipstream travels several times the speed of light, and according to Einstein's equation, the speed of light is equal to time travel. | ||
*A Slipspace-to-normal space transition has been successfully attempted by a Spirit dropship, but it had been extensively equipped with Titanium-A battleplates, lead, and carbon-molybdenum steel I-beams. | *A Slipspace-to-normal space transition has been successfully attempted by a Spirit dropship, but it had been extensively equipped with Titanium-A battleplates, lead, and carbon-molybdenum steel I-beams. | ||
*[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] made a precision jump into [[High Charity]] yet UNSC ships are normally not capable of precision jumps. This may be due to an improvement on the ship, the [[Gravemind]] adjusting it or possibly a whole lot of luck. | *[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] made a precision jump into [[High Charity]] yet UNSC ships are normally not capable of precision jumps.

*It has been also mentioned in [[Ghosts of Onyx]] that the SPARTAN III's were dropped onto the [[Pegasi Delta|Covenant controlled planet]] from Slipspace, most likely suggesting that these drop pods were either developed on a large scale or reinforced specifically for that mission. | *It has been also mentioned in [[Ghosts of Onyx]] that the SPARTAN III's were dropped onto the [[Pegasi Delta|Covenant controlled planet]] from Slipspace, most likely suggesting that these drop pods were either developed on a large scale or reinforced specifically for that mission. | ||
