'''Lead foil''' is a material composed of [[lead]] 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''' is a material composed of [[lead]] used by the [[UNSC]] for ships that traverse [[slipstream space]].

[[Covenant]] ships apparently do not use lead foil, particularly {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} [[dropship]]s, which are not capable of navigating slipspace. 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]]''', ''page 380'' (2010 edition)</ref> | [[Covenant]] ships apparently do not use lead foil, particularly {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} [[dropship]]s, which are not capable of navigating slipspace.
