A slipspace flake[1] was a central component of a Forerunner slipspace drive. They were quantum-engineered crystalline devices, and were used aboard Forerunner spacecraft for interstellar travel. All slipspace flakes were chipped from a central "core" crystal, the location of which was known only to the Master Builder.[2]
The Forerunner capital had an entire hallway located near the Council chamber decorated with millions of spent slipspace flakes, some adorning the walls and others built into rotating sculptures.[1]
Trivia
- The crystal found by Dr. Halsey on Reach may have been a slipspace flake, though it possessed time-bending properties beyond simply enabling faster slipspace travel.
