A '''repulsor engine''', also referred to as a '''repulsor drive''', is a diametric drive used by [[Covenant]] ships for sublight navigation,{{Ref/Book|Id=wf92|HWF|Page=92}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=223}} configured for swift and agile localized transit.{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=154}}
 
==Functionality and mechanics==
Repulsor engines use stacked tidal gravity generators which create asymmetrical gravity fields that push and pull a ship through space in a desired vector, all without the need for reaction mass or conventional exhaust. An extremely sophisticated application of [[Anti-gravity technology|gravitics]],{{Ref/Reuse|wf92}}{{Ref/Book|Id=wf62|HWF|Page=62-63}} these engines are powered by a ship's [[pinch fusion reactor]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=wf70|HWF|Page=70-71}} Modern repulsor engines are finely tuned and expected to operate for years without maintenance refreshes. However, the repulsor engines on older, [[Vestige|vestigial]] [[warship]]s—such as the drives outfitted on the {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}} — are cruder pieces of technology, requiring constant monitoring and adjustment to operate at full power.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=79}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
A repulsor engine produces quantum fluctuations in its wake that are extremely hazardous to personnel and nearby vessels within its range, particularly when operating at high "thrust".{{Ref/Reuse|wf62}}<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', p. 331</ref> These fluctuations are capable of interfering with the operation of gravitic technologies in the vicinity of the fluctuations. Prolonged exposure to unshielded repulsor drive elements can cause neurological degradation and even psychosis in most species - something the [[San'Shyuum]] considered largely beneath their notice.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
