Editing Spaceship (section)

===Spacecraft in [[Setting:Halo|Halo]]===
Like in 40k, both Human and Covenant ships enter an alternate dimension for FTL travel, here called Slipspace, an 11-dimensional space that is thankfully absent of demons (the demons just stick to normal space, unfortunately). Human ships traditionally are much slower than Covenant ships, clocking in at 2.625 light years per day vs 1,368 light years per day. The reason for this discrepancy is that humans have only scratched the surface of Slipspace’s potential, and can only really skim through it (so like the [[Tau]]). In addition, human-made FTL tech is also less precise, so jumps are only made to locations just outside of a system and then use sublight drives to reach their destination. Forerunner tech, meanwhile, is so advanced that they can cross the galaxy in a matter of hours, and so precise that they can easily do point-to-point jumps on a local level. Forerunner gates likewise can send entire ships from one point to another, such as the gate connecting Mombassa, Africa to the Ark located outside the galaxy. All that being said, the whole process is still dangerous; an improperly installed or damaged drive can rip the ship apart, high radiation levels and static electricity need to be shielded against, and sometimes ships can just straight-up disappear.
