'''Reaction drives''' were a form of spacecraft propulsion used by the [[Forerunner]]s. Little is known about them other than the fact that they use [[vacuum energy]] to expel virtual neutrons from the ship. During their momentary existence, the virtual particles give the ship propulsion, then disappear. | '''Reaction drives''' were a form of [[Maneuver drive|spacecraft propulsion]] used by the [[Forerunner]]s. Little is known about them other than the fact that they use [[vacuum energy]] to expel virtual neutrons from the ship. During their momentary existence, the virtual particles give the ship propulsion, then disappear. They do require a form of on-board fuel and reaction mass to operate, however.{{Ref/Novel|HCry|Chapter=12}} | ||
