=== | ===Early history and development=== | ||
Although the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] meant a radical simplification of the Mjolnir platform, to the point it could be mass-produced, some in the [[Spartan Operations]] branch were dissatisfied with its minimal performance improvement over the old GEN1 systems. By that reason, the UNSC decided to manufacture the next generation of Mjolnir armors.<ref>''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', PART 10: THE SPARTAN ARMORY, Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, p. 178</ref> | |||
Around [[2558#October|October 17, 2558]],<ref name="HOSFMDate">''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', PART 01: INTRODUCTIONS, Note from Captain Lasky, p. 11</ref> the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] was used as the testbed for the GEN3 improvements, but it remained uncertain if manufacturers would adopt the standards and cost accounting by the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFMP10P179}} | |||
On [[2559#February|February 10, 2559]], four months after the rise of [[Cortana]] and the [[Created]], the [[Materials Group]] began to manufacture GEN3 armor.{{Ref/Reuse|DH}} The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] have also become involved in the manufacture of some material for the GEN3 platform, such as the [[ANUBIS-class Mjolnir|Anubis-class]] helmet, which is "grown" within Sangheili assembly forges. The GEN3 platform has also incorporated technology from other armor systems, as the GEN1 Mark V[B] platform and its variants have been made compatible with this newest iteration. Though this technology dates back to the Covenant War-era, it has been fully reconditioned and upgraded with newer and more optimized components, giving life to older tech at an integral time, and offering a new generation of Spartans the opportunity to take to the battlefield outfitted in the same style of armor that some of their own heroes once donned.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}} | |||
John-117 | On [[2559#October|October 7, 2559]], [[John-117]] and [[Blue Team]] were deployed on a [[Operation: WOLFE|covert mission]] to [[CASTLE Base]] using the GEN3 Mark VI armor.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR1|HSoR|Chapter 1}} During a subsequent battle in New Mohács, Spartan IVs in GEN3 were deployed by drop pod. {{Ref/Novel |Id=SOR2|SoR|Chapter 16}} | ||
Several months later on [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], the armor was used by John-117 during a [[Installation 07 conflict|conflict]] on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Game|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]|Id=Premiere}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}} | |||
==Specifications== | |||
[[File:HINF-SI - MJOLNIR GEN3 Arm Diagnostic.png|thumb|left|200px|MJOLNIR GEN3 arm component diagnostic.]] | |||
===Design and features=== | |||
The conceptual design framework incorporates lessons from the MJOLNIR [GEN2] line of Mjolnir, while also using performance and higher levels of protection given by the [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor#First_generation|MJOLNIR [GEN1]]] line of Mjolnir.{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFMP10P179}} Subsequently GEN3 weighs twice as much as GEN2 at 400 kilograms.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR1}} | |||
[[File:HINF-SI- | |||
The armor features a survival mode that can keep the occupant alive for at least six months in the vacuum of space with no food, water, or other things vital to life aside from the suit's oxygen supply. After a burst of power was used by [[Fernando Esparza]] to bring [[John-117]]'s armor out of survival mode, the armor's fusion reactor almost instantly recharged ''[[Echo 216]]'s'' depleted batteries in return, restoring functioning to the Pelican's internal lights and systems.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Warship Gbraakon|Hi|Ringfall|[[Warship Gbraakon]]}} John later told [[the Weapon]] that the next thing that he remembered after getting thrown into space was waking up on the Pelican six months later, suggesting that he had been kept unconscious by the armor for the entire time.{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Sequence|Hi|Reformation|[[The Sequence]]}} | |||
At the very least, John-117's armor contains holographic emitters in the palm of the hand, allowing him to display an avatar of [[the Weapon]] over his hand, a feature not previously seen with his GEN1 and GEN2 suits while he was working with Cortana. The Weapon is able to transfer herself directly into systems by having her hologram walk off of the armor's hand and into the terminal in question.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | |||
John-117's armor displayed the ability to remotely link to the systems of ''Echo 216'' and then activate the ship's autopilot at his request to fly them to a chosen destination.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Foundation|Hi|Ringfall|[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]}} | |||
