Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote RAIDER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] developed by Imbrium Machine Complex.[1]
Overview
The helmet has a 930-AV4 Class-2 Ankara tactical assault suite.[2] The helmet's design is considered "exotically feral". This makes the armor perceptibly imposing to those who encounter it, even for some elements within the Covenant.[3]
The shoulders are composite-folded shield negotiators with fused venting for reactive thrust application.[3] The pauldrons also have a accession pauldron conduit for in-field modifications.[2]
Its chest-plating is full mesh ceramic with flow contours for dissipative shielding and other defensive countermeasures.[3]
Development history
The Raider variant was developed by Imbrium Machine Complex. It was tested at Anakara Resiliency Chamber.[1] IMC representatives claimed that the armor's feral appearance was designed to weaken the morale of opposing forces.[1]
During the Battle of Reach, a Spartan team was sent to acquire and protect data relating to improving MJOLNIR armor, sending the data to a remote archival station. In 2557, four years later, the data that was sent to the archival station was found again,[4] and was discovered to be information about the Raider armor.
Skins
Distort: While the helmet's design is considered "exotically feral" on its own, it is made even more when paired with the visible dissonance of the Distorted skin.[3]
Usage
Raider armor saw increased usage in War Games simulations, specifically within Oddball competitions.[2]
Even though the RAIDER helmets were crafted to be physically intimidating, their effectiveness is disputed. The RAIDER-class armor, however, has become the unofficial standard for Spartans assigned to military police duties.[5]
