The helmet has a Torque-node component used to distract nearby predators, the base of the node detects levels of gravity-trough scaturiency. The helmet also features extended awareness conduits (ALK-03) which heightens mobility around senior operatives and moving-equipment personnel. The visor has lodged-tracking component 793-VF for improved survivability and maintenance. The chest has 90-RZ java-fuel monitoring software which evaluates current sustainability levels.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Fotus|Fotus throughout this source continues the joke of "acquiring coffee." Therefore, this is not a reliable source. However, as the only source available it should be taken as canon until a more official source gives the Armor its information.}}

Fotus was created by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]], by merging loose Forerunner technology and base Mjolnir architecture. It was originally forged at the RTC Facility before being transported to the Willows Complex for durability and survivability testing. At a later point it was tested at [[434 Combat Readiness Lab]] where it was tested extensively in Kirkland's overcast and frigid nine-month winter season.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}
