| The '''Mark II Hanley-Messer DFR''' is a type of [[human]]-manufactured [[fusion drive]]. {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}s such as the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} were equipped with three Mark II reactors.<ref name= "data drop">[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/ONI/577839090903298928/DDR-A340024-1115-08-27-52.pdf '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Data Drop 5'']</ref> The Mark II engines were obsolete by [[2552]], providing only a tenth of the power generated by modern reactors at the time.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 238''</ref> In order to fit the demands of [[Operation: RED FLAG]], the ''Autumn'' was later refit with a significantly more efficient experimental reactor set.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 274''</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| Though unconfirmed, "DFR" may be short for "[[deuterium]] [[fusion reactor]]", as UNSC starship reactors are known to use deuterium for fuel.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 275''</ref> This may suggest the drive utilizes deuterium-deuterium [[nuclear fusion]] reactions for power generation.
