VENATOR-class Mjolnir
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Venator is a variant of the GEN2 utilized by SPARTAN-IVs.[1].
Development history
The MJOLNIR/Venator variant was manufactured by Lethbridge Industrial as their flagship product.[2] The Venator armor gained prominence during the Covenant's attack on Concord for its improvement of user opportunity in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat.[1] After the Requiem Campaign, Lethbridge Industrial improved the Venator's power management subsystem and reduced it's maintenance requierements. By October 2558, the armor's firmware incorporated a generalization of predictive targeting algorithms originally created to assist new Spartans in close-quarters combat.[3]
