The Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant, more commonly known as Extra Vehicular Activity Armor, and abbreviated as EVA Armor, is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.
Introduction
The "EVA Armor" is a variant of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR powered battle armor, specialized to " increasing exoatmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity" for the SPARTAN-II supersoldiers "without thrusters". It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.
Development
The MJOLNIR/V variant was developed at the United Nations Space Command Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility on the moon of Ganymede and subsequently tested at Lister, Aigburth, Ganymede, "integrating feedback gathered from the Summa Deep Space Incident". It is unknown if it will ever reach frontline service.
Trivia
- The EVA armor's helmet is aesthetically similar to SPI armor's helmet however the rim from the jaw down to the chin is thiner and around the back it has sort of a cup shape around the back of the head it a quater sphere shape. Also the helmet is much more rounded than the SPI helmet. The helmet may have a large, allround visor for maximum amount of vision during EVA operations.
- The Helmet is more aesthetically a design inspired by the helmet of astronauts.
- The shoulder pads are larger than the standard MJOLNIR pads and feature a long attachment to their centre which is similar to a part of the SPI shoulder pad.
- The chest plate appears to be MJOLNIR chest plate but with two pieces added on and the straps between the back plate and front plate have an buckle like object on them. The objects of the chest plate may be pieces of equipment for EVA operations.
- The MJOLNIR Variant V is mentioned in Ghosts of Onyx when the SPARTANS of blue team take a EVA mission to an abandoned shipyard.
