This article is about the MJOLNIR armor variant. For the fragment of the AI Melissa, see Operator.

Template:Armor Infobox OPERATOR-class Mjolnir, is a MJOLNIR armor variant originally designed by Chalybs Defense Solutions,[1] with the GEN2 version being manufactured by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation.[2]

Overview

GEN1

There is a Mark IV variant of the armor. The Mark V variant of the armor was designed for use by Spartan operators within the ONI Beta-5 Division's Asymmetrical Action Group (AAG).[1][3]

The standard version of the helmet features a B5D-O/Optics suite,[1] which is mounted on the forehead. The UA/HUL variant replaces the standard optics suite with an up-armor plate featuring a Hardened Uplink Module on the left side. Another variant, which is issued to unit commanders,[3] features Command Network Module-Improved on the right side.

The Operator systems's shoulder pauldrons are simply armored bands mounted on the user's base shoulder guards, with two string-like attachments descending from the bottom. There is a geometrical pattern emblazoned on the plate as well.

GEN2

The reactor of the GEN2 version of the OPERATOR armor is a low-set reactor pack. The helmet has a PV-20, which is a set of dual-locked rebreathers generally worn by pilots. The visor has an open visor view-plate for increased range of spectrum. The chest has external harness bracers. Twin-release cables on the chest route energy expenditure to reserve systems.[4]

Development history

GEN1 development history

While the non-Spartan members of the Asymmetrical Action Group wear their own standard-issue armor, the Beta-5 Division contracted Chalybs Defense Solutions to develop a MJOLNIR variant designed to improve the performance of the AAG's Spartan personnel. The armor, which was jointly developed at the Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility and tested at Chalybs Testing Preserve,[note 1] can provide the wearer with detailed, on-the-fly intelligence through secure transmissions that can bypass most Covenant security networks.[1]

GEN2 development history

Sometime after the Fall of Reach, the Operator armor was taken over by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation, after the abandonment of all CDS facilities on Meridian, and was tested extensively with live fire exercises in the NCC's abandoned shipyards on the outskirts of Abilene.[5] Unlike its predecessor, it optimizes a Spartan for the operation and control of vehicles.[6]
