Slipspace velocities are generally dependent on the ship's momentum on transition, as the Slipspace drive itself does not generate thrust.'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''Chapter 1'', Page 23'' As a result, ships that are faster in normal space, such as [[corvette]]s, usually travel faster in the Slipstream as well. |

Human Slipspace velocities are far slower than those of the Covenant, able to carry a ship at an unimaginable speed of approximately 2.625 light years per day Velocity=Distance/time (V=[[Reach|10.5 light years]]/4 days=2.625 l/d), while Covenant ships can reach 912 light years per dayVelocity=Distance/time (V=[[Zeta Doradus|38 light years]]/1 hour=38 l/h or 912 l/d). The capture of a Covenant Slipspace drive by [[John-117]] and survivors of the [[Fall of Reach]] and survivors of the events at [[Installation 04|Halo]] may have increased the capabilities of these Human Slipspace technologies.

One example of the differences between speeds is comparing the Covenant cruiser ''"[[Ascendant Justice]]"'' with the [[UNSC]] [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. It took several weeks for the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to get from [[Reach]] to [[Installation 04]], yet the ''Ascendant Justice'' could get from Installation 04 to Reach within thirteen hours. |
