'''ORBITAL-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] manufactured by [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|Armor permutations (Halo 4)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Orbital Description|Quote=Used along Luna's Skyhooks and tethers during the Covenant's assault on Sol.}}

===Design details===
Developed by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]], it was field-tested during the battles in the [[skyhook]]s and [[space elevator]]s on [[Earth]] and [[Luna]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].<ref name="Guide"/>
The helmet features the Buffalo A-29 comm suite, which works flawlessly with the ad-hoc and anarchic telecommunication networks found in many [[Human colonies|colonies]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Orbital - Helmet Description|Quote=The Buffalo A-29 comm suite in the ORBITAL helmet works flawlessly with the ad-hoc and anarchic telecommunication networks found in many colonies.}} Some models of the helmet have the "Mark of the Breaker" skull emblazoned on the visor.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}


The suit has momentum-governing collar mounts,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} a valence-fading blast shield, L4-0 braced generators, and tow-grip isolation packs for quick yet stable mobility in zero-g settings.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4LE|Halo 4 Limited Edition|[[Infinity Briefing Packet|''Infinity'' briefing packet]]}}
==Production notes==
 
The armor has a variant called AEON, which is unlocked by mastering the Covenant Destroyer commendation.
===Development history===
Developed by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]], the Orbital variant was tested and was the first to survive the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]] testing site. This granted some models of the helmet a distinct skull emblem, known as the "Mark of the Breaker", on the visor.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
The suit is a modified variant following the same production lines as the [[EVA-class Mjolnir]], though it was developed specifically for orbital and suborbital combat, where conditions similar to space often converge with harsh atmosphere and gravity-borne challenges.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
It was also field-tested during the battles in the [[skyhook]]s and [[space elevator]]s on [[Earth]] and [[Luna]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/f8d1297c-a0ac-4a4a-bda3-992ec03ae2e0/orbital|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Orbital|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}} This test was a success, leading to the Orbital-class armor's adoption by [[Spartan-IV]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
===Usage===
Patrolling Spartans equipped with ORBITAL-class Mjolnir armor are a common sight near Earth's orbital tethers and military space stations.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Orbital - Body Description|Quote=Patrolling Spartans equipped with ORBITAL-class Mjolnir armor are a common sight near Earth's orbital tethers and military space stations.}} Some models of the helmet have the "Mark of the Breaker" skull emblazoned on the visor. Adoption of this set has not overtaken the EVA variant, although [[War Games]] has repeatedly proven the Orbital armor's viability.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
==In-game Information==
===''Halo 4''===
Orbital was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has two available skins: Aeon (AEON) and Swift (SWFT). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.
 
Both skin variants for Orbital have an additional [[Twin-plated]] arms counterpart.

===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
The Orbital set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces—primarily the [[Twin-plated]] forearms and [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]] legs. The Orbital set has three alternate skins: Perihelion, Aphelion and Equinox.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The skins in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' all refer to positions of planets in relation to the sun. Perihelion is closest, aphelion is farthest, and an equinox is when day and night are equal in length.
The AEON variant's human skull painted onto the visor is similar to [[Emile|Emile-A239's]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|EVA [C] helmet]].
