'''Titanium-A armor''' is the most common form of battle plating used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] on its [[warship]]s. It is composed of high-grade [[Titanium]]-50<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 185''</ref> that is specially strengthened at the molecular level,<ref name="enc315">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 315''</ref> which implies alloying with other elements.
