== Background ==
TR steel alloy is used to build the superstructure of the ship before it is plated with [[vanadium steel]] and, eventually, [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]] battleplate.


A curious feature of TR steel alloy is that, as it is exposed to solar radiation over time, it gradually turns from silver to white. It is easy to tell a ship's age by the color of the TR steel in its superstructure.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 52''</ref>
