{{quote|Shaw-Fujikawa engines allowed UNSC ships to leave normal space and plow through a dimensional subdomain colloquially known as "Slipstream space." ... The drive used particle accelerators to rip apart normal space-time by generating micro black holes. Those holes evaporated via Hawking radiation in a nanosecond. The real quantum mechanical "magic" of the drive was how it manipulated those holes in space-time, squeezing a hundred-thousand-ton cruiser into Slipspace.|[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], pg. 53}} | {{quote|Shaw-Fujikawa engines allowed UNSC ships to leave normal space and plow through a dimensional subdomain colloquially known as "Slipstream space." ...

In [[Ghosts of Onyx]], it is described as having thick radiation plating to shield against alpha and beta particle radiation which is apparently emitted from an active drive. It is also stated that early Shaw-Fujikawa drives were prone to requiring many manual adjustments (which was a dangerous proceedure). | |||
