Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote DEFENDER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] utilized by SPARTAN-IVs.[1] The observation and communication features of the Defender helmet are well-suited for combat actuation in urban environments. The placid Defender faceplate is a symbol of both UNSC oppression and protection, due to use by Spartan anti-Insurrectionist units.[2]
Development history
The MJOLNIR/Defender variant was manufactured by Imbrium Machine Complex and is employed at research facilities on Trevelyan and Installation 03.[1] It was tested at Ankara, Mare Imbrium on Luna.[1] It was developed in response to the UNSC Ordnance Commission which stated the need for defense-centric armor variants, which would be used for the protection of civilian populations rather than the assault of enemy strongholds. The Defender variant is generally used on controller bases, ONI sites, and colonial populations where civil unrest is common.[3]
In 2555, this armor was tested at Anvil Station.
