[[ | '''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="FOR215">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 215''</ref> | ||
==Uses== | |||
Engine shields and baffles of [[UNSC destroyer|human destroyers]] commonly utilize vanadium steel.<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 name="FOR215"/> | |||
