| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Brokkrs take the form of a multi-axis assembly, constructed in a fashion similar to Leonardo Da Vinci's [[Wikipedia:Vitruvian Man|Vitruvian Man]] illustration, or an aerotrim. The central Mark IX Cambered Gyro Mount contains handles and footholds for the Spartan to stand inside, with a backrest to lean on. The gyro ring is attached to the ceiling via way of a R7-F35 Raised Dual-Ring Mooring and a Reactive Spindle Canopy, resulting in the assembly being able to lean back while in use.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} In total, the mechanism is capable of holding the full mass of a Spartan supersoldier and their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] or [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}}{{Ref/Game|Id=S3|HINF|Site Unseen}}
| |
| | |
| To assemble and disassemble armour, the mechanism has two utility actuator arms mounted to the R7-F35 mooring, with powered multi-tools capable of grabbing and manipulating individual armour pieces. The base of the mechanism contains storage for MJOLNIR power packs.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}}
| |
| | |
| ===Usage===
| |
| Brokkrs are used to assist the Spartan deployments assigned to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and [[ANVIL Station]]. A mechanism was also situated at the ONI facility at the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]], and was used in the [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]] program.{{Ref/Reuse|S3}} Another Brokkr mechanism is also present at ONI's [[ONI Ilex Facility|Ilex Facility]].{{Ref/Map|HINF|Illusion}}

| In [[List of references to Norse mythology in Halo|Norse mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Brokkr|Brokkr]] is the dwarven blacksmith who fashioned Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. | | *In [[List of references to Norse mythology in Halo|Norse mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Brokkr|Brokkr]] is the dwarven blacksmith who fashioned Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. |
| | *The mechanism's operation is reminiscent of the way [[Wikipedia:Iron Man|Iron Man]] dons his armor in the [[Wikipedia:Marvel Cinematic Universe|Marvel Cinematic Universe]], as well as the method by which [[w:c:Starcraft:Tychus Findlay|Tychus Findlay]] receives his armor in ''[[w:c:Starcraft:Starcraft II|Starcraft II]]''. |
| | *"'Da Vinci' multi-axis alludes to the way Spartans' limbs are splayed out while the mechanism is in operation, resembling Leonardo Da Vinci's [[Wikipedia:Vitruvian Man|Vitruvian Man]]. |
