'''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. It is usually greyish in color, and at least in the case of destroyers is embedded with thermal superconducting radiators.<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 83''</ref> Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], some UNSC military vessels received [[energy shielding]] to allow the ships to absorb more damage.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''[[Departure|S1E1 Departure]]''</ref> Like the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], Titanium-A armor plating saw advances and widespread use due to the [[Insurrection]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
