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.
The Covenant use antimatter as a reactant in ordnance, namely antimatter charges. These charges were used in the Battle over Installation 04[1] and to destroy Athens Station, Malta Station, and nearly Cairo Station in the Battle for Earth.[2]
Certain Forerunner weapons use antimatter as well; the Z-390 incineration cannon, for example, fires antimatter embedded within streams of energized particles.[3] Converging beam cannons of the Sojourner-class dreadnought created paths for antimatter to pursue enemy starships.[4]
The UNSC has placed an antimatter production facility on Mercury,[5]
