[[Image:AP Samurai.jpg|thumb|right|The result of [[Project HAYABUSA]].]]
'''Project HAYABUSA''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] powered armor program developed independently from, and as a rival to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Project MJOLNIR]]. The program later produced a MJOLNIR variant for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI generation]].{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC|Enc11|Page=96}}


The '''Hayabusa Armour''' is a type of [[United Nations Space Command]] powered [[armor]], developed independent to the [[MJOLNIR]] Project, compatible with [[Spartan]] super soldiers.
==Overview==
===Design details===
The Hayabusa armor's advanced materials decreased its weight by nearly one-third,{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} and was aesthetically designed after ancient [[Japan]]ese samurai armor. It includes spiked shoulder pauldrons similar to traditional Japanese [[Wikipedia:Japanese armour#Construction|sode]] designs.


==Introduction==
The Hayabusa armor's helmet was designed with a defensive and ultraviolet-protective visor. Like all UNSC helmets, the visor is the weakest part. Thus, a small visor was designed to be more difficult to accurately penetrate. As such, the small visor provides for better protection of the wearer as well as better camouflage. The Hayabusa was designed with greater emphasis on heavy lifting and [[extra-vehicular activity]] than the MJOLNIR. It is slightly slower and less dexterous than its MJOLNIR counterpart, though it is nonetheless highly effective and possesses most of the design features of the MJOLNIR Mark VI.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=93}}
The Hayabusa is a powered battle armour system, similar to the standard [[MJOLNIR|Mark VI MJOLNIR]], except stemming from [[Project HAYABUSA]] as opposed to [[Project MJOLNIR]]. It was developed by [[RKD]], an Earth-based "think tank" in the year [[2536]], 16 years before the [[Mark V]] entered production. It was presented to the [[UNSC Ordnance Committee]] as an answer to the self-contained powered armour problem. Advanced materials are used in the production of the Hayabusa armour reducing the weight of the current generation armour by nearly a third (at that time). It is an [[armor permutation]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', and like all permutations, it has no effect on gameplay. The armour is commonly used on Halo 3 due to the fact that many people have obtained all 13 [[skull]]s needed to gain the whole set (excluding the copy Tilt skulll). The [[Katana]], however, can only be unlocked by getting 1000 gamerscore on Halo 3. It also has been referred as the ''Ninja Armour'', ''Power Ranger Armour'', ''Haya Armour'', or ''Samurai Armour''. It may be based on Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series.

Project HAYABUSA was a UNSC powered armor program developed independently from, and as a rival to Project MJOLNIR. The program later produced a MJOLNIR variant for the Mark VI generation.[2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Hayabusa armor's advanced materials decreased its weight by nearly one-third,[1] and was aesthetically designed after ancient Japanese samurai armor. It includes spiked shoulder pauldrons similar to traditional Japanese sode designs.

The Hayabusa armor's helmet was designed with a defensive and ultraviolet-protective visor. Like all UNSC helmets, the visor is the weakest part. Thus, a small visor was designed to be more difficult to accurately penetrate. As such, the small visor provides for better protection of the wearer as well as better camouflage. The Hayabusa was designed with greater emphasis on heavy lifting and extra-vehicular activity than the MJOLNIR. It is slightly slower and less dexterous than its MJOLNIR counterpart, though it is nonetheless highly effective and possesses most of the design features of the MJOLNIR Mark VI.[3]

Production notes[edit]

The Hayabusa armor was at some point intended for inclusion in Halo 4's multiplayer. Concept art was created for a [GEN2] iteration of the armor by artist Gabo Garza.[4] A high-poly model of this armour was later created by an artist at Liquid Development, a studio which assisted in the creation of Halo 4's multiplayer armour sets. However, this version of Hayabusa has never been seen implemented within the game engine, and was not present in the final game.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Hayabusa armor bears a resemblance to the armor worn by feudal-era samurai. The armor is named after Ryu Hayabusa, the protagonist of the Ninja Gaiden series and a combatant in the Dead or Alive series. The helmet is almost an exact copy of the "ninja of the future" costume in Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox. Bungie likely created the Hayabusa armor as a tribute to Team Ninja for adding Nicole-458 into Dead or Alive 4. Team Ninja, the developers of the Ninja Gaiden series and Dead or Alive series, are mentioned in the credits for Halo 3.
  • Hayabusa is Japanese for "peregrine falcon" and is also the name for an unmanned space mission conducted by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency that returned to Earth on June 13, 2010, and the Nakajima Ki-43-III-KAI fighter craft flown during World War II.
  • SHINOBI-class Mjolnir is considered the spiritual successor of Project HAYABUSA.
