'''CENTURION-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Watershed Division]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}

==GEN1 overview==
===Design details===
The [[Mark VI]] Centurion set was an experimental platform designed to combine the Mark VI armor's architecture with GEN2-era upgrades.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-marching-on|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Marching On|D=15|M=5|Y=2021}}

===Development history===
The Centurion armor was manufactured by [[ONI]]'s [[Watershed Division]]. In [[2552#October|October 2552]] a Mark VI version of the armor was available.{{Ref/Game|Id=terminal|H2A|Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal - Unyielding}}

One of the testers was [[Frederic-104]], with his suit having a primary purpose to serve as a testbed for new technologies before they were incorporated into the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR (GEN2) platform]], a more modern armor that would later be utilized by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]].{{Ref/Site|Id=HW|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Frederic-104|D=15|M=5|Y=2021}}

===Usage===
[[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Frederic-104]] received a prototype Centurion armor upon upgrading to the Mark VI platform at his return to [[Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]], shortly before the [[Battle for Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|terminal}} With it, Frederic fought numerous battles on Earth, and later participated in the [[Onyx Conflict]]. Following his return to Earth in [[2553]], he continued to field-test multiple variants of the Centurion armor during highly confidential operations,{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} until at least October [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}
