"I'm wearing three layers of armor. Those man-droppers in your clip would just flatten themselves against my chest."
— LTJG Frederic-104 to Veta Lopis, referring to the ammunition of the latter's SAS-10 pistol[3]

CENTURION-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Watershed Division.[1]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Mark VI Centurion set was an experimental platform designed to combine the Mark VI armor's architecture with GEN2-era upgrades.[4]

Development history[edit]

The Centurion armor was manufactured by ONI's Watershed Division. In October 2552 a Mark VI version of the armor was available.[5]

One of the testers was Frederic-104, with his suit having a primary purpose to serve as a testbed for new technologies before they were incorporated into the MJOLNIR (GEN2) platform, a more modern armor that would later be utilized by Spartan-IVs.[6]

Usage[edit]

Spartan Frederic-104 received a prototype Centurion armor upon upgrading to the Mark VI platform at his return to Earth in October 2552, shortly before the Battle for Earth.[5] With it, Frederic fought numerous battles on Earth, and later participated in the Onyx Conflict. Following his return to Earth in 2553, he continued to field-test multiple variants of the Centurion armor during highly confidential operations,[6] until at least October 2558.[1]

  • Prototype Mark VI Centurion armor, as worn by Fred-104.

GEN2 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The GEN2 variant is equipped with C4I2SR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Information, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)[7] technology which, combined with the warfighting skills of the Spartan wearer, has had major ramifications on UNSC doctrine on battlespace shaping and operations planning.[8] The suit's threat management system also features the latest situational awareness tactical software and cognition-enhancing neural interlinks.[1][2]

Development history[edit]

The GEN2 variant was developed by the Watershed Division.

Usage[edit]

By 2558, a GEN2 variant of Centurion was in use by Spartan Fred-104.

In-game information[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the ancient Roman army, a centurion was an officer in command of a century—a company of a hundred soldiers.[9] The MJOLNIR Centurion armor bears a Roman-like crest on top of its helmet.[10]
  • All Centurion armors in Halo 5: Guardians have "104" stenciled on the chest plate in Braille.
  • In the final version of Halo 5: Guardians, Fred's GEN2 Centurion armor has the techsuit gloves in two colors (pale blue and light turquoise), in the same two-tone coloring scheme as Kelly-087's Hermes and Linda-058's Argus armors.
