-'''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, theoretically releasing one hundred percent (100%) of all matter held within the annihilating particles; mainly in the form of Gamma rays (photons) and other matter/antimatter particles.  To put this into perspective, the energy released in a hydrogen bomb is only 0.007% of the energy within those particles.

+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]]}}
