MJOLNIR: Black is a "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 Songnam, United Korea.[2] Spartan Black Team were equipped with MJOLNIR: Black from at least the summer of 2552 until their deaths in July 2557.[3]
Overview
MJOLNIR: Black is superficially identical to the later Mark VI variant. However, it features several unique internal design elements. The heads up display has a field of view of nearly five kilometers, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance.[2] Black Team's armor (the only know examples of the model) was 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]
Production note
The armor's visor is said to be reflective gray in Blunt Instruments,[6] but in Halo: Blood Line Halo: Escalation it is gold like the default Mjolnir visor.
