'''Lead | '''Lead foil''' is a material used by the [[UNSC]] for ships that traverse [[slipstream space]]. Lead foil is essential to slipspace travel, and to deep-space travel in general, as it absorbs radiation and prevents it from harming the occupants of the ship. Lead foil is relatively fragile and prone to melting at extreme temperatures. | ||
Lead foil can be found on most [[UNSC]] deep-space ships, in addition to the [[Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 13'' (''"Inside his cocoon of titanium, lead foil, and stealth ablative coating, [[SPARTAN-B292]] watched black stars explode across his vision"'')</ref> | Lead foil can be found on most [[UNSC]] deep-space ships, in addition to the [[Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 13'' (''"Inside his cocoon of titanium, lead foil, and stealth ablative coating, [[SPARTAN-B292]] watched black stars explode across his vision"'')</ref> | ||

However, lead foil can be installed in them to achieve the desired effect. [[Blue Team]] did this to their dropship aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' shortly before [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref> | ||
