Slipspace travel is dangerous due to the high level of [[radiation]] encountered during the trip, which can be extremely hazardous to the crew. This is negated by the use of [[Lead Foil]] in UNSC ships, which absorbs the radiation. Fissile materials also emit radiation (specifically [[Čerenkov Radiation]], emitted when particles travel through a medium at a faster rate than light travels in that same medium.) upon exiting Slipspace; this is not harmful to humans, however it does make emerging from Slipspace very noticeable. It is not known how the Covenant deal with radiation, but it is presumed that either they also utilize a shielding material, or with their improved Slipspace technology and [[Energy shield]]s, it does not affect them at all.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 13''</ref>

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> In addition, 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>

[[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. It is presumed that this is because Slipstream travels several times the speed of light, and according to Einstein's equation, the speed of light is equal to time travel.

Slipspace can also serve as means of virtually instantaneous transport over short distances. Originally developed by the Forerunners, Slipspace translocation technology allows its user to safely pass between two locations by enveloping the user in a Slipspace field and transporting them to the intended destination.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''pages 311-212''</ref> The Forerunners utilized this technology to a great effect, using it in [[teleportation grid]]s and [[Teleporter|transportation pads]] encountered on many of their installations. Later, the Covenant also adopted this technology and are known to have used it in their [[Covenant Spire|Spires]].
