STALKER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] manufactured by Naphtali Contractor Corporation.[2][3]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The helmet features scanning nodes and a flush-mounted rebreather system. It is also equipped with an irregular beam visor that is loosely based on Jiralhanae Stalker visor schema. The suit has horizontal, cross-set shield conduits.[1]

Development history[edit]

The Stalker variant was manufactured by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation. The armor was developed and produced by the NCC via intel on Jiralhanae Stalker units and other separate advances made by ONI.[1] A similar suit also derived from Brute Stalkers, named "Infractor", was later developed by the New Tyne Armory on the independent world of Venezia.[4]

Usage[edit]

The Stalker armor system offers a vast array of hunter-tracker field improvements considered prodigious among remaining D-6 operatives.[3] Covenant infantry who encounter Spartans wearing this suit are often taken back by the armor's visage, placing them at a brief disadvantage.[1]
