==Introduction==
After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the [[EVA-class Mjolnir]] suit. This led to the creation of the [[WRATH-class Mjolnir]] where its right shoulder pad is based off the Mark V Security shoulders.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor Permutations|Detail=WRATH - Helmet Description|Quote=Formally an upgrade of existing Mark V EVA suits, the WRATH project was actually a cover to develop a new Mjolnir variant specifically tailored to the needs of future Headhunter teams.}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFNoble|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Noble Intentions|D=8|M=7|Y=2016}} SECURITY [GEN1] helmets continued to be used by Misriah Armory's executive protection teams after the Covenant War.

The [[Security]] Armor, or "Marathon Armor", is a variant of the standard [[MJOLNIR Mark V]] powered assault armor. It is an [[armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]]. All of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay. This armor permutation is based off, and named after one of the main characters and protagonist in the [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon]] Computer Game series.

== In-game information ==
===''Halo 3'' - Mark VI===
The Security armor is available as an [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] in ''Halo 3''. The set consists of a helmet and shoulders; in the [[Xbox 360]] editions of ''Halo 3'' the helmet additonally comes with a small antenna attachment for the right shoulder. This was retained in the launch-era version of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the addition of ''Halo 3'' on PC and the start of [[Series 2: Spark|Series 2]] saw the antenna detached from the helmet and selectable as its own chest option separate from the Security helmet. Later on in [[Series 7: Elite]], the antenna chest option was removed and reverted back to only displaying while the accompanying helmet was equipped. If any of the chest items from ''[[Halo Online]]'' or ''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]'' are equipped, the antenna simply does not display.


==Development and History==
The helmet's most noticeable feature is the larger, more prominent "figure-eight" shaped visor which looks almost bug-eyed. It bears resemblance to that of a modern day fighter jet pilot helmet. This helmet is inspired by the protagonist of [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon]], although the mouth is covered. The helmet is large with a small raised section on the forehead in the form of the Marathon logo. Wearing the helmet will also add a small antenna and dial to the right shoulder.
The MJOLNIR V(m) variant was manufactured in the [[Misrah Armory]] Facility on [[Mars]] in [[2543]], 1 year after the Mark V entered production in 2542. Like the Mark V, it has been upgraded to be compatible with all current generation MJOLNIR variants.

===Helmet Characteristics===

[[File:Security Varient in Reach.jpeg|thumb|250px|All variants of the Security helmet in ''Halo: Reach'' from left to right; BASE, UA/HUL and CBRN/CNM.]]
The helmet's most noticeable feature is the larger, more prominent "figure-eight" shaped visor which looks bug-eyed, inspired by the protagonist of [[Halo]]'s precursor, [[Marathon]] (as depicted by [[Craig Mullins]] [http://www.goodbrush.com/cpg1418/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=20] [http://www.goodbrush.com/cpg1418/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=23]), although the mouth is covered the helmet is large with a small raised section on the forehead in the form of the Marathon logo. Wearing the helmet will also add a small antenna and dial to the right shoulder.
The Security armor returns as an [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', mostly unchanged from the ''Halo 3'' incarnation - though with the removal of the antenna chest. The Security right shoulder is equipped with a [[Kukri]] knife, and is used by [[Emile-A239|Emile]] in the campaign. ''Halo: Reach'' introduces some additional similarly-named armor, the UA/Base Security set - details on the Base Security addons can be found [[Armor accessories/UA|here]].

===Shoulder Characteristics===
===''Halo 5: Guardians'' - Upgraded GEN1 and GEN2===
The shoulder pieces are quite large, with a distinct rounded section with an upper center, trapezium-shaped arm guard going out the bottom and a rounded section above that. It should be noted that this shoulder permutation is prone to a glitch that may cause you to not unlock them until you have 1000 gamerscore; however, another glitch has occurred that unlocks the Security shoulders before reaching 750 gamerscore points in Halo 3.
Security returns as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', after a noticeable absence in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has been redesigned for GEN2, though retains some characteristis of the original ''Halo 3'' and ''Reach'' iterations. A ''Reach''-styled iteration was later introduced in the [[Memories of Reach]] update as the Security [GEN1] helmet, with the right shoulder also appearing on the [[WRATH-class Mjolnir|WRATH]] armor set based on that worn by Emile.

===Chest Characteristics===
===''Halo Infinite'' - Upgraded GEN1 and GEN3===
The Security Armour does not have a known chest plate, although wearing the helmet will give the player a distinct "antenna and dial" on the right side of the back plate. This may be a reference to the antenna [[Master Chief]] had in the pre-''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' at the Mac World Trailer. The fact that the Security armour predates the standard Mark V armor may support this.
The Security Mark V shoulder pauldrons return in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', available under the [[Armor accessories/SAP|SAP category]] for the [[Mark V(B)]] core. The Security GEN3 helmet—alongside an exclusive helmet attachment, was introduced as part of the Aquahex Super Bundle at the start of [[Season 03: Echoes Within]]. [[Season 05: Reckoning]] added the Mark V Security helmet and a new helmet attachment.

==Unlock==
==Production notes==
*'''Head''': Get a gamerscore of at least 1000 in ''Halo 3''. Since the new achievements from Title Update 2, the head may be unlocked from around 40-50 non-vidmaster achievements.  
{{Other languages
*'''Shoulders''': Officially, the Security shoulders unlock when the player has attained at least 750 Gamerscore points from ''Halo 3''. However, the shoulders are renowned and well-known bugged items. There have been inclusive reports of players unlocking the shoulders at Gamerscores from the 300s to 1000. There has also been reports of a glitch in which the Security shoulders will not be unlocked until 850 or 900 gamerscore and will re-lock themselves for no apparent reason, or the shoulders being unlocked at the required 750 Gamerscore, then having them lock again, only to unlock when the helmet is attained with a Gamerscore of 1000. The Security shoulders may glitch into appearance after unlocking all 9 gold [[skulls]] sequentially. A perfect 1000 Gamerscore has been reported to guarantee unlocking the Security shoulders permanently. Some have reported unlocking them at only 30+ achievements.It is also known that the armour can be unlocked by getting the marathon man achievement on campaign by simply finding all the terminals in the game.

*The SECURITY-class helmet (as well as the Mark VI version's pauldrons) is based on that worn by the protagonist of the ''[[Marathon]]'' series, who is known only as the "Security Officer". The ''Marathon'' logo is featured prominently on the Mark VI version of the helmet (just above the visor) in ''Halo 3''. The Mark V Security helmet in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' lacks the symbol, likely due to intellectual property concerns (as [[Bungie]] retained the ''Marathon'' IP after leaving Microsoft). However, the [[Forerunner symbols#Reclaimer|Reclaimer symbol]] (a modified version of the ''Marathon'' logo) appears on the GEN2 version of the helmet in ''Halo 5: Guardians''.
*The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' erroneously states the Security armor was manufactured in 2543 rather than 2528.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=92}}
*During the development of ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the GEN2 Security armor was designated "''A067''" when it was conceived.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFSustained|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-sustained-glass|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sustained Glass|D=9|M=7|Y=2021}}

*The Security's shoulder permutation can be unlocked by achieving all of the offline achievements.
*''[[Halo 3]]'' {{1st}}
*Both the armor’s appearance and its name are a tribute to the main character in [[Marathon]], the security officer. And is another among the many references to the Marathon Trilogy.
*''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''
*Its visor is second in size only to the [[Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|EVA]]'s visor.
*''[[Halo: Reach]]''
*McFarlane is producing a Spartan Security variant with interchangeable armor for the 2009 Wave 1 series figures. The antenna is '''not''' removable to allow for different helmets without the Security antenna.
*''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''

SECURITY-class Mjolnir, also designated as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant, is a MJOLNIR armor variant adapted from an infiltration prevention suit designed by Misriah Armory.[1]

GEN1 overview[edit]

Development history[edit]

The Security variant was first manufactured in the Misriah Armory facility on Mars in 2528.[7] After Mark V was released, this armor was adapted to its use. Like most MJOLNIR variants, the later model of the Security helmet had been upgraded to be compatible with all MJOLNIR Mark VI variants.[2] The Mark V iteration of the helmet is compatible with CBRN, UA, CNM and HUL attachments.

After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on requests of veteran Spartan-II and Spartan-III operatives, the UNSC Ordnance Commission considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the EVA-class Mjolnir suit. This led to the creation of the WRATH-class Mjolnir where its right shoulder pad is based off the Mark V Security shoulders.[8][9] SECURITY [GEN1] helmets continued to be used by Misriah Armory's executive protection teams after the Covenant War. These helmets have been upgraded to be compatible with GEN2 systems, though corporate representatives balk at releasing its custom VISR.[10] As late as 2560, the GEN1 Security helmet and shoulders could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be compatible with GEN3. These helmets are used by Spartans assigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence's Physical and Technical Security Office, used to defend information depots and military sites.[11][12]

GEN2 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The GEN2 variants helmet has two watchdog AIs hovering at the edges of the SECURITY VISR interface, alert for cyberintrusion attempts and sensor anomalies that could indicate subversion of connected surveillance networks.[4] The armor also seamlessly integrates with Navy networks and security constructs.[6]

Development history[edit]

The GEN2-era Security set was built to Spartan branch requirements for ship and station defense personnel.[6]

GEN3 overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The GEN3 Security helmet is specialized in cyber-defense, with dedicated watchdog AI hosting hardware to locate compromised battlenet branches and burn out intruding constructs.[5]

In-game information[edit]

Halo 3 - Mark VI[edit]

The Security armor is available as an armor permutation in Halo 3. The set consists of a helmet and shoulders; in the Xbox 360 editions of Halo 3 the helmet additonally comes with a small antenna attachment for the right shoulder. This was retained in the launch-era version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, though the addition of Halo 3 on PC and the start of Series 2 saw the antenna detached from the helmet and selectable as its own chest option separate from the Security helmet. Later on in Series 7: Elite, the antenna chest option was removed and reverted back to only displaying while the accompanying helmet was equipped. If any of the chest items from Halo Online or Halo: Fireteam Raven are equipped, the antenna simply does not display.

The helmet's most noticeable feature is the larger, more prominent "figure-eight" shaped visor which looks almost bug-eyed. It bears resemblance to that of a modern day fighter jet pilot helmet. This helmet is inspired by the protagonist of Marathon, although the mouth is covered. The helmet is large with a small raised section on the forehead in the form of the Marathon logo. Wearing the helmet will also add a small antenna and dial to the right shoulder.

Halo: Reach - Mark V[edit]

"The MJOLNIR(M) variant helmet was manufactured at the Misriah Armories facility on Mars in 2528."
All variants of the Security helmet in Halo: Reach from left to right; BASE, UA/HUL and CBRN/CNM.

The Security armor returns as an armor permutation in Halo: Reach, mostly unchanged from the Halo 3 incarnation - though with the removal of the antenna chest. The Security right shoulder is equipped with a Kukri knife, and is used by Emile in the campaign. Halo: Reach introduces some additional similarly-named armor, the UA/Base Security set - details on the Base Security addons can be found here.

Halo 5: Guardians - Upgraded GEN1 and GEN2[edit]

Security returns as an armor permutation in Halo 5: Guardians, after a noticeable absence in Halo 4. The armor has been redesigned for GEN2, though retains some characteristis of the original Halo 3 and Reach iterations. A Reach-styled iteration was later introduced in the Memories of Reach update as the Security [GEN1] helmet, with the right shoulder also appearing on the WRATH armor set based on that worn by Emile.

Halo Infinite - Upgraded GEN1 and GEN3[edit]

The Security Mark V shoulder pauldrons return in Halo Infinite, available under the SAP category for the Mark V(B) core.

Production notes[edit]

  • The SECURITY-class helmet (as well as the Mark VI version's pauldrons) is based on that worn by the protagonist of the Marathon series, who is known only as the "Security Officer". The Marathon logo is featured prominently on the Mark VI version of the helmet (just above the visor) in Halo 3. The Mark V Security helmet in Halo: Reach and Halo 5: Guardians lacks the symbol, likely due to intellectual property concerns (as Bungie retained the Marathon IP after leaving Microsoft). However, the Reclaimer symbol (a modified version of the Marathon logo) appears on the GEN2 version of the helmet in Halo 5: Guardians.
  • The Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition) erroneously states the Security armor was manufactured in 2543 rather than 2528.[13]
  • During the development of Halo 5: Guardians, the GEN2 Security armor was designated "A067" when it was conceived.[14]
