'''Vanadium | '''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">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 215''</ref> | ||
[[Covenant]] [[Spy | [[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"/> | ||
