[[Human|Humanity's]] yearning to explore and colonize space required significant energy requirements to power the machinery to industrialize and traverse interstellar space. Fusion power provided the energies to power humanity into a spacefaring civilization. The [[United Nations Space Command]] utilizes nuclear fusion reactors to a great degree, from spacecraft to [[UNSC reactor|groundside bases]]. Fusion reactors powered by [[deuterium]] reactions are used as a power source on UNSC [[warship]]s. The reactor makes up the main component of a ship's primary propulsion system, known as a [[fusion drive]], which uses vectored drive exhaust of fusion byproducts to provide thrust.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Maw]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 275''</ref> Fusion power also provided the necessary energy to run FTL propulsion systems. | [[Human|Humanity's]] yearning to explore and colonize space required significant energy requirements to power the machinery to industrialize and traverse interstellar space.
