'''Antimatter''' is the physical counterpart to matter. Antimatter consists of antiparticles which have the same mass as their matter counterparts but with a reversed charge. Antimatter annihilates upon contact with matter.

Anti-Matter is a highly dangerous substance that releases a massive amount of energy when coming into contact with matter, such as air , thus causing an explosion. Anti-Matter is known to occur naturally in extremely small amounts, but can be made artificially in larger, but still extremely small amounts by [[Humans]], however the [[Covenant]] are suspected as having a large amount of either natural or artificial Anti-Matter to use as weaponry and possibly a power-source. Humanity is thought to currently have Anti-Matter, but apparently not enough for it to be used as weaponry. The Covenant, however have used Anti-Matter as weaponry on more than one ocasion, but how they get their Anti-Matter remains a mystery.


The [[Covenant]] use antimatter as a reactant in ordnance, namely [[antimatter charge]]s. These charges were used in the [[Battle over Installation 04]]{{Ref/Level|[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}} and to destroy ''[[Athens Station]]'', ''[[Malta Station]]'', and nearly ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' in the [[Battle for Earth]].{{Ref/Level|Halo 2|[[Cairo Station]]}}

Certain [[Forerunner]] weapons use antimatter as well; the [[Z-390 incineration cannon]], for example, fires antimatter embedded within streams of energized particles.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=101}} [[Converging beam cannon]]s of the {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}} created paths for antimatter to pursue enemy starships.{{Ref/Book|Halo : Warfleet|Page=80-81}}

The UNSC is known to have established an antimatter production facility on [[Mercury]] alongside solar research facilities,{{Ref/Book|HM|Section=The Interplanetary War|Page=51}} however even the UNSC's most advanced laboratories produce less than a gram of antimatter a year.{{Ref/Book|HEnc11|Page=333}}
