The '''Slipspace core''', also known as the '''Source Crystal''' or the '''Mother Crystal''',<ref name="renegades">''Halo: Renegades'', p. 208-209</ref> was a large, quantum-engineered crystal used by the [[Forerunners]] to create [[slipspace]] [[Slipspace drive|drives]] for their ships. Pieces were chipped off from the core crystal, transported to manufacturing facilities all across the [[ecumene]] and then cut into smaller [[Slipspace flake|flakes]] for use in new slipspace drives from the smallest craft to the largest.{{Ref/Reuse|renegades}} The exotic composition and slipspace interactions of the crystal were incomprehensible to even the Forerunners, and never replicated.<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 11</ref> Befitting its importance, the crystal's location was one of the best-kept secrets in the ecumene. It was said that only the [[Master Builder]] knew the location of the core.<ref>''Halo: Cryptum'', p. 124</ref> [[343 Guilty Spark]] stated that only the cutters knew and they would have rather died than reveal its location.{{Ref/Reuse|renegades}} | The '''Slipspace core''', also known as the '''Source Crystal''' or the '''Mother Crystal''',<ref name="renegades">''Halo: Renegades'', p. 208-209</ref> was a large, quantum-engineered crystal used by the [[Forerunners]] to create [[slipspace]] [[Slipspace drive|drives]] for their ships.
