Template:Armor Infobox Template:Article Quote The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Orbital is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2).[1] The armor's helmet bears a striking resemblance to the EVA-class Mjolnir.

Development history

Developed by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation, the MJOLNIR/Orbital variant was field-tested during the battles in the skyhooks and space elevators on Earth and Luna during the Battle of Earth.[1] The armor includes a valence-fading blast shield, L4-0 braced generators, and tow-grip isolation packs for quick yet stable mobility in zero-g settings.[2]

Production notes

The helmet has a skull on the visor by default. Known as the Mark of the Breaker, it signifies that this armor was the first to survive the Buffalo Breaker Yards testing site.

Trivia

The Orbital helmet's human skull painted onto the visor is similar to Emile-A239's EVA [C] helmet. The skin's in Halo 5 all refer to positions of planets in relation to the sun. Perihelion is closest, aphelion is farthest, and an equinox is when day and night are equal in length.
