A ruptured slipspace drive can create slipspace "splinters" in normal space, eventually consuming the drive and the entire ship which the drive was placed on.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''' - ''The Mona Lisa'', ''page 332''</ref> Mechanical failures like [[Slip Termination, Preventable]], or STP, can also occur with Slipspace drives, usually resulting from poor maintenance.<ref name="Contact"/> An improperly mounted Slipspace drive can also result in catastrophic accidents. This was the case with a colony ship en route to the [[Cygnus system]] around [[2550]]: as a result of a maintenance failure, the drive transported half the ship into oblivion, killing 700.<ref name="reach">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> | A ruptured slipspace drive can create slipspace "splinters" in normal space, eventually consuming the drive and the entire ship which the drive was placed on.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''' - ''The Mona Lisa'', ''page 332''</ref> Mechanical failures like [[Slip Termination, Preventable]], or STP, can also occur with Slipspace drives, usually resulting from poor maintenance.<ref name="Contact"/> An improperly mounted Slipspace drive can also result in catastrophic accidents.

When a similar slipspace rupture was induced by [[Jorge-052]] to destroy the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' in the orbit of Reach, it created an EMP effect that disabled all satellites within its range.<ref name="reach" | When a similar slipspace rupture was induced by [[Jorge-052]] to destroy the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' in the orbit of Reach, it created an EMP effect that disabled all satellites within its range.<ref name="reach"/> | ||

The term "CODEN" originated as Doctor [[Wallace Fujikawa]]'s cryptic name for the physics package installed at the core of the first Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.
