The lessons learned from the space engagements of the Insurrection may have contributed to the UNSC's eventual victory in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. From the Insurrection came the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], [[titanium-A armor]], naval protocols, and advances in ship-to-ship warfare tactics, all of which would prove crucial in humanity's fight against the Covenant. Furthermore, the Insurrection also saw the beginning of the career of [[Preston Cole]], who would make an enormously decisive commitment to the Human-Covenant War.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
