| '''Vanadium steel''' is a type of [[steel|alloy steel]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] in the construction of its starships. Vanadium steel cannot withstand the same stresses as [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]] alloy and so it is not used as armor plating, but rather in the construction of essential and unarmored components, likely laid down as the basic plating for a ship's hull, welded on over the [[TR steel]] superstructure of the ship.<ref name="FORC23">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Chapter 23</ref> | | '''Vanadium Steel''' is an alloy used by the [[UNSC]] in the construction of its starships. Vanadium Steel is not as strong as [[Titanium-A]] alloy and so it is not used as armor plating, but rather in the making of essential and unarmored components. It likely is used as the basic plating for a ship, welded on over the [[TR Steel]] superstructure of the ship. Engine shields and baffles of [[UNSC Destroyer]]s are commonly made of vanadium steel.<ref name="FOR215">'''[[The Fall of Reach]]''', page 215</ref> |

| | [[Covenant]] [[Spy Probe]]s are designed specifically to blend in perfectly with Vanadium Steel components so that they may fulfill their missions with ease. One Spy Probe in particular was effective enough to find [[Reach]] alerting the Covenant and resulting in the [[Battle of Reach]].<ref name="FOR215"/> |

| [[Spy probe]]s utilized by [[Covenant]] forces are designed specifically to blend in perfectly with vanadium steel components so that they may carry out their tasks undetected. One such probe was used to track a ship to the [[Human colonies|human colony]] of [[Reach]], the foremost military stronghold of the UNSC, resulting in the planet's [[Fall of Reach|invasion]].{{Ref/Reuse|FORC23}} | |
