RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor^[3] manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial.^[1]^[2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Rakshasa is versatile, easy to maintain, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Critical advantages for long-duration remote operations in hostile environments. Another key to its success are multiple levels of subsystem redundancy and an integral self-repair system.^[1]^[2] Rakshasa is also able to be equipped, or adapted to use several attachments or gear.^[3]

Developed by Lethbridge Industrial, the Rakshasa armor was battle-tested by Delta-6 hunter-killer teams and disruption operatives who ranged far into the former Covenant core worlds.^[1]

Usage[edit]

During the armor's service, it began to represent lived history, where the armor of one Spartan wearing Rakshasa may carry on to another.^[4]
