The Mark I ADS was one of the earliest refinements of the UNSC's combat exoskeleton designs, tracing its visual design back to the [[HRUNTING Mark I exoskeleton]]s employed during the [[Domus Diaspora|colonial era]]. The Mark I was crewed by one operator and armed with a huge array of heavy weapons. The prototype unit for the Mark I was undergoing testing at [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]] on [[Algolis]] when the [[Covenant]] [[Algolis Invasion|invaded]] the planet in [[2549]]. The unit was ultimately used by an [[Ghost (Marine)|unnamed Marine]] to fend off the Covenant while the staff escaped, though ultimately was destroyed when the suit's [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear self-destruct]] was triggered. This event destroyed the Mark I and the facility which created it.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Film|HLeg|Story=Prototype}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Algolis|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/algolis/c37d512a-eed7-44c0-bc3b-eb5b362b3160#imageNumber=1|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Algolis|D=15|M=01|Y=2012}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Waypoint|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Universe/detail/prototype/b053d1dc-912b-401b-bb9e-2909d1028c31|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Prototype|D=05|M=09|Y=2012|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo_Waypoint/2009_to_2014/Universe/Technology}} | The Mark I ADS was one of the earliest refinements of the UNSC's combat exoskeleton designs, tracing its visual design back to the [[HRUNTING Mark I exoskeleton]]s employed during the [[Domus Diaspora|colonial era]].
