| [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] starships use '''Repulsor Engines''' for low-level propulsion. Little is known about its mechanisms, other than that they produce quantum fluctuations that can affect personnel within range of them, and they leave a wake that can affect starships.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 331</ref> It's possible that Repulsor Engines could be a form of "reactionless drive" that makes use of negative matter. [[wikipedia:Exotic matter|Negative matter]] would have negative mass and would have a "repulsive" effect with the normal matter if placed behind the ship.
