We know that human fusion reactors are capable of extreme acceleration and can cross interplanetary distances in hours. Assuming the theory of time dilation is true, wouldn’t this have a noticeable effect on time dilation for extremely long distances of sublight travel (ex: Earth to the Oort Cloud)?
Time dilation and the other rules of relativity are more or less ignored in Halo, just like in most sci-fi franchises.

Cosmic drama franchises, such as space opera and future fantasy. Sci-fi revels in nuances of background clockwork. Sci-fi in proper form is a very demanding genre, good for novels, ambitious movies and immersive games, so-so for heroic action-ism, as typically any injury is mortal or crippling and fights are quick, such as in real life.
I thought slipspace travel was closer to using portals or tunnels to “jump” across vast distances rather than accelerating until we reach faster than light speeds. So, since there’s no faster than light velocities, there’s no time dilation. (o_O )
Which is how I figured space travel works in Star Wars as well. Hyper space lanes and slipspace ruptures operate the same way, right?

The OP is not talking about slipspace, they are instead talking about sub light travel and what happens when you accelerate.
In regards to the OP, since most ships seem to be able to generate gravity this could help negate the time diolation as that is a function of speed and gravity IIRC.
