==Overview==
===Design details===
Compatible with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], from [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|the [GEN2] platform]], the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron were designed specifically for airborne units, with the purpose of maximum protection with minimum weight,{{Ref/Reuse|HR}} while the knee guards function as lightweight and shock-absorbing armor.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=UA/Type FJ - Knee Guard Description|Quote=Lightweight, shock-absorbing knee armor.}}

===Usage===
In 2552, [[Catherine-B320]] of [[NOBLE Team]] wore the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons. Four other members of NOBLE Team wore the FJ/PARA knee guards: [[Carter-A259]], [[Jun-A266]], [[Emile-A239]], and [[Thom-A293]].{{Ref/Game|HR}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Deliver Hope]]}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the knee guards of [[NOBLE-class Mjolnir|NOBLE-]], [[VIGILANT-class Mjolnir|VIGILANT-]], and [[WRATH-class Mjolnir|Wrath-classes]] Mjolnir featured physical architecture similar to FJ/PARA knee guards due to the armors being recreations of the customized armors which belonged to the Spartan-IIIs from NOBLE Team.{{Ref/Game|Id=noble|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=NOBLE - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=vigilant|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=VIGILANT - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=wrath|Game=H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=WRATH - In-game model}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Noble Intentions|D=31|M=7|Y=2021}} Similarly, the shoulder pauldron of [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir]] also resembled the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons of Kat-B320's armor.{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=INTRUDER - In-game model}}

==Production notes==
*"FJ" is likely an abbreviation of ''[[Wikipedia:Fallschirmjäger|Fallschirmjäger]]'', the German word for "paratrooper".
*During the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the final model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was designated as the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V[B]]]. The FJ/PARA shoulders from the ''Beta'' then became the [[Armor accessories/UA|UA/Multi-threat shoulder pauldrons]] in the final game. 
*It is possible that the FJ/PARA knee guards were intended to be the default in-game knee guards instead of a variant. Prior to the game's finalization, what would become the FJ/PARA knee guards were present on [[SPARTAN-B312]], representing the character wearing basic armor prior to the player's customization. Even after being given fully default armor, most videos and images showed the SPARTAN wearing FJ/PARA kneeguards with otherwise fully default armor; the Xbox Avatar of Noble Six also still has FJ/PARA knee guards.
*[[Catherine-B320]]'s FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron pictured in a cover art image for ''Game Informer'' magazine started a recurring joke among the fan community as the shoulder can be seen resembling a face. This "character" was jokingly dubbed "Oonsk" as a humorous pronunciation of the "UNSC" labeled to the shoulder.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28577|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=The Birth of an Icon}} The character was later acknowledged by [[Bungie]] in their [[Bungie Weekly Update|weekly updates]],{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012210|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 01/22/10|D=13|M=10|Y=2021}} and was included in a painting created by [[Frank O'Connor]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=963223|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Re: kjfsklg;}} The painting was later auctioned off by IGN as a part of a charity event.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28772|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=IGN for Haiti - Oonsk Sells Big}}
