Slipspace guidance beacon: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Slipspace guidance beacons''' are [[Slipstream Space]] navigational aid devices used by the [[UNSC]]. Dropped into Slipspace by another vessel such as a [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], they are intended to assist other vessels in performing short in-system jumps with more accuracy than otherwise possible, something that can be of considerable advantage in a space engagement. Even with the use of guidance beacons however, human Slipspace technology is not perfect, especially when the jump is performed near a significant [[gravity well]]. This was demonstrated during the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in [[2543]], when a part of [[Battle Group India]] re-appeared from an in-system jump scattered from the main group despite guidance beacons planted by the prowler {{UNSCShip|Wink of an Eye}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'', page 477</ref>
