The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/B variant''' refers to | The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/B variant''' refers to two distinct sub-models of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], created for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] generations.{{Ref/Site|id=HWFred|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Frederic-104}} The latter iteration of the [B] variant served as the initial production model of the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]] (2011 edition)|Page=94}} | ||

=== | ===Specifications=== | ||
While its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV | While its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b), the Mark V[B] was the first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10'']</ref> The Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. The only major difference between the two is the [B] variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's [[neural interface|neural lace]] enabling the wearer to interface with a [[smart AI]]. This did not come to fruition until [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] successfully tested the final Mark V on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=119}} | ||
===Development history=== | ===Development history=== | ||
Along with the [[SECURITY-class Mjolnir|Security]] and [[ROGUE-class Mjolnir|Rogue]] variants, the Mark V[B] was designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] due to numerous problems with funding.{{verify source}} The development of Mark V[B] was conducted in secret, with its prototypes tested by [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, the GEN1 [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] prototype and the GEN2 [[DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir]], closely resembled the design of Mark V[B]. | |||
===Usage=== | ===Usage=== | ||
The Mark IV | The Mark IV(b)'s first known use was by [[Frederic-104]] during an operation against [[Insurrectionist]]s sometime before the [[Battle of Circinius IV]] on [[2526#April|April 26, 2526]]. Fred continued to wear the armor during this battle when [[Blue Team]] was sent to evacuate the survivors from the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]].{{Ref/Film|Film=Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn}} The Mark V[B] entered service with the [[Spartan-II]]s and select [[Spartan-III]]s on [[2551|November 24, 2551]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}} The Mark V[B] helmet's only adopter was [[Special Warfare Command|SPECWAR]] [[Special Warfare Group Three|Group Three]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Armory|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Mark V[B] helmet description}} Mark V[B] was the standard Mjolnir variant issued to Spartans assigned to SPECWAR Group Three, including [[NOBLE Team]]. While most members of NOBLE Team modified their Mark V[B] suits to varying extents, [[Thom-A293]] wore a full, unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>''[[Deliver Hope]]''</ref> Thom's replacement, [[SPARTAN-B312]], also wore a largely unaltered set of Mark V[B] armor.<ref>[[:File:Noble Surveillance.jpg|SWORD Base surveillance still of NOBLE Team]]</ref> A replica of B312's helmet was later hosted for display in the [[Outpost Discovery]] program, following the war's end.<ref name="HOD">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', [[Hall of History]]</ref> | ||
Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} | Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} | ||
