Titanium-A

Titanium-A Battleplate: Human warships are armored with thick layers of molecularly-reinforced titanium, elastic polymers, and intermetallic laminate that mitigate damage from both directed energy and kinetic attacks. The space between the armor plates is filled with shock-hardening fluids and encapsulated healing agents to reduce spall from impacts and automatically seal small hull breaches.

Structure: Broadly referred to as "Titanium-A," stacked nanotube-reinforced titanium and elastic polymer composites provide excellent protection against both hypervelocity impacts and directed energy weapons. Warships are fitted with thick plates, while civilian vessels have only what is needed to prevent micrometeorite impacts. More advanced armor plating, which was introduced late in the war, incorporates superconducting elements to lessen the effectiveness of Covenant plasma weapons.
