HERMES-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor manufactured by the Watershed Division.[3]
GEN2 overview
Specifications
The Hermes suit features a neural interface that requires a lengthy synchronization process before it can be used. It is also equipped with a highly powerful embedded enhanced mobility subsystem.[3]
Development history
This suit is a custom designed EVA-pattern prototype designed by the Watershed Division for orbital raids.[3]
Usage
Only a handful of Spartans can use this suit safely due to the power of its enhanced mobility subsystem.[3] It was most notably worn by Spartan-II Kelly-087 from the Mission to Installation 03[4] to the Battle of Genesis.[1][5]
GEN3 overview
Specifications
The GEN3 incarnation of the Hermes' helmet is aesthetically similar to the MJOLNIR Mark IV EVA helmet worn by Kelly-087 during Operation: WARM BLANKET.

Trivia
- The armor variant is named after Hermes, the Greek god of commerce, who acted as a messenger between the mortals and the Olympians. He was noted for his speed, which is reflected by the armor's special mobility-enhancing features, as well as its use by Kelly-087.
- The Dolios armor skin is named after Dolius, a character of Homer's Odyssey.
- All Hermes armors in Halo 5: Guardians have "087" stenciled on the chest plate in Braille.
- In the final version of Halo 5: Guardians, Kelly's Hermes armor has the techsuit gloves in two colors (light silver and yellow), in the same two-tone coloring scheme as Linda-058's Argus (beige and orange) and Frederic-104's Centurion armors (pale blue and turquoise).
