(TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease"; VOY: "Repentance", "Year of Hell, Part II")

Tritanium was also used as a type of armor plating in assault skimmers. (DS9: "Business as Usual")

Federation EJ7 interlocks were composed of a tritanium compound. In 2369 Chief O'Brien's went missing and he found the remains in a power conduit alongside the organic remains of Ensign Aquino. Prior to this found, the computer located a tritanium source in the tool locker in level three. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
