A '''slipspace flake'''<ref name="flake">''Halo: Cryptum'', p. 293</ref> or '''slipstream crystal''' is a central component of a [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace drive]]. They are quantum-engineered crystalline devices, and were used aboard Forerunner spacecraft to modulate the ship's passage through the higher dimensions,<ref>''Halo: Silentium'', p. 105</ref> being a major contributor to their markedly stable slipspace transitions due to how they mediate temporal and spatial anomalies inherent to many slipspace interactions. This reduces travel times by orders of magnitude over the crude alternatives used by less advanced species.<ref name="w11">''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 11</ref> All slipspace flakes were chipped from a [[Slipspace core|central "core" crystal]], the location of which was known only to the [[Master Builder]].<ref>''Halo: Cryptum'', p. 124</ref> The exotic composition and slipspace interactions of the crystal were incomprehensible to even the Forerunners, and never replicated. | A '''slipspace flake'''<ref name="flake">''Halo: Cryptum'', p. 293</ref> or '''slipstream crystal''' is a central component of a [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace drive]].

The Forerunner capital [[Maethrillian]] had an entire hallway located near the [[Forerunner Council|Council chamber]] decorated with millions of spent slipspace flakes, some adorning the walls and others built into rotating sculptures. | The Forerunner capital [[Maethrillian]] had an entire hallway located near the [[Forerunner Council|Council chamber]] decorated with millions of spent slipspace flakes, some adorning the walls and others built into rotating sculptures.<ref name="flake"/> | ||
In [[2557]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] took the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' to [[Triniel]] to retrieve a slipspace flake to help upgrade the ship's slipspace drive as part of the enhancements Spark made to the ship.<ref>''[[Halo: Renegades]]''</ref> | In [[2557]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] took the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' to [[Triniel]] to retrieve a slipspace flake to help upgrade the ship's slipspace drive as part of the enhancements Spark made to the ship.<ref>''[[Halo: Renegades]]''</ref> | ||
