[[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] starships | The '''repulsor engine''' is a propulsion system used by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] starships. Little is known about its mechanisms, other than that it produces quantum fluctuations that can affect personnel within its range, and leaves a wake that can affect other starships.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 331''</ref> | ||
It is possible that repulsor engines are a form of "reactionless drive" that make use of negative matter. [[wikipedia:Exotic matter|Negative matter]] would have negative mass and would have a "repulsive" effect on the normal matter of the ship if placed behind it. | |||
