'''SHINOBI-class Mjolnir''' is an armor compatible with [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5|H5G|[[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory]] description}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
Despite its origin, the shoulder pauldrons are compatible with other armor sets.{{Ref/Site|Id=GC|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/golden-clouds|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Community Update - Golden Clouds|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} 

===Discovery and research===
Discovered aboard a derelict [[freighter]] of unknown origin at [[Lacaille 9352 system|Lacaille 9352]], the armor has no known manufacturer or intended user. The [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] continues to probe the recovered suits in an attempt to unlock what appears to be several levels of restricted functionality. SHINOBI's core systems remain cryptic "black boxes" to analysts, though ONI was successful in integrating the SHINOBI helmet with standard GEN2 Mjolnir techsuits and Spartan [[neural interface]]s. Though aware of the inherent risks involved, ONI has authorized limited testing of the SHINOBI armor for a select few classified [[Spartan-IV]] operatives.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fifty Caliber|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}

===Usage===
[[Spartan-III]] [[Tom-B292]] used the shoulders of this armor in [[2558]],{{Ref/Reuse|GC}} and has also been seen wearing a full set of Shinobi armor minus the helmet.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P106|Enc22|Page=106}}
