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]
Development history[edit]
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]
Rakshasa was worn by Spartan-IVs Sigrid Eklund and Hieu Dinh,[5] where Eklund documented in her field notes several experiences on equipment usable on Rakshasa.[4]
