Each suit of MJOLNIR Mark VI armor contains a crystalline layer. Woven by molecular tools into a superdense optical computer memory, this revolutionary crystalline layer forms a network, capable of supporting the kinds of artificial intelligence usually reserved for starships, a piggyback system. At the same time it is amorphous, yet amplifies force, doubling lifting capability and increasing reaction time by a factor of five.<ref>''Halo PC Strategy Guide'', page 5</ref> Unfortunately, the system is so reactive that normal human beings cannot use the suit without injuring themselves.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' ''Chapter 13, page 115''</ref> Only humans who have carbide ceramic ossification, a skeletal augmentation, such as a SPARTAN-II, can safely wear the suit. | Each suit of MJOLNIR Mark VI armor contains a crystalline layer.

The Mark VI generation largely solved problems with the previous versions of MJOLNIR armor. It had an improved energy shielding system, powered by a smaller fusion pack on the wearer's back. This shield system is much stronger and charges more quickly than the Mark V's. The suit also has denser yet less bulky armor plating these streamlined plates have fewer grapple points than the Mark V so that an enemy has fewer advantages in close combat.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''' ''page 90''</ref> | The Mark VI generation largely solved problems with the previous versions of MJOLNIR armor.

The biggest change, however, was the inclusion of automatic [[biofoam]] injectors. With the introduction of the Mark VI, these biofoam injectors have become an integral part of a SPARTAN's ability to function in battle. As a medical gel, it is used to fill and seal wounds automatically, although this process causes extreme pain. However while Biofoam allows a soldier to continue to perform his job without bleeding out, biofoam is only a temporary means of saving a person's life and medical attention must be received soon after before a person suffers more life threatening issues. | The biggest change, however, was the inclusion of automatic [[biofoam]] injectors.
