MJOLNIR: Black is variant a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, likely part of MJOLNIR's Advanced Hardware Program.[1] It was designed by a top-secret parallel development lab in Seongnam, United Korea.[2] Spartan Black Team wore the armor from no later than August 2552 until their deaths in July 2557.[3]
Overview
Black uses the same armor components as the MJOLNIR Mark VI and is thus outwardly identical. However, it features several unique internal design elements. The HUD has a field of view of nearly five kilometers, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance.[2] The armor is colored jet black rather than the standard olive green, increasing the user's ability to hide in shadows. One arm includes a device nicknamed the "Interrogator", featuring a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of Covenant languages to English and from English to Covenant speech.[4] The armor is capable of carrying a seventh-generation smart AI. Black (like the contemporary Mark V and later models) features recharging energy shielding.
Being a prototype, it features some flaws: it has trouble displaying exact altitude, making three-dimensional tracking difficult, and the biofoam injectors were known to mistakenly set broken bones into the wrong shape to heal.[5]
Trivia
The armor's visor is said to be reflective gray in Blunt Instruments,[6] but in Halo: Blood Line it is gold like the default MJOLNIR visor.
