While you are right that it was a slipspace engine that they used, it really would be better described as a bomb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they disabled all of the engine's fail safes, and then activated it near the super carrier. Since the engine wasn't activated with any coordinates (hence why they disabled the fail safes), everything caught within the engine's radius was sent to random location in space, in trillions and trillions of tiny little pieces.
It's not like they simply activated the engine and cut out a chunk of the ship, and sent it elsewhere. They literally blew the chunk of the super carrier apart. Hence, why it's considered a bomb.
That's not how Slipspace works though, it doesn't disintegrate things (unless it's both inside and outside as was the case with some of the buildings in Regret's jump to Delta Halo in Halo 2 or the case with the Long Night of Solace). The Solace was destroyed because the aft and bow sections didn't make it into the portal, only the midships area. The midships and the Corvette are in tact on the other side of wherever the portal went. What gave you the idea that it disintegrated the midships of the Solace and the entire Corvette carrying the "bomb".
