Iron is used by the [[UNSC]] in a wide array of functions, including use with [[tungsten]] to create rounds for the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannons]], used by the [[UNSC Navy]] warships as high-penetration weapons. | Iron and [[nickel]] are notable for being the final elements produced by stellar nucleosynthesis, and are therefore the heaviest elements which do not require a red giant or supernova for formation. Iron and nickel are therefore the most abundant metals in metallic meteorites and in the dense-metal cores of planets such as [[Earth]]. Iron and nickel alloys are also the most common source of ferromagnetic materials in everyday use. | ||
