==GEN1 Overview==

===Development history===

The Mark V[B] was manufactured by private organizations contracted by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rather than developed by the [[Materials Group]] as was typical for most other Mjolnir designs. The development of Mark V[B] was conducted in secret, with its prototypes tested by [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, the GEN1 [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] prototype and the GEN2 [[DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir]], closely resembled the design of Mark V[B]. As late as [[2560]], the Mark V[B] armor could still be requisitioned by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]], upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}

*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', there were two different upgrades available for the Mark V[B] helmet. The [[Command Network Module|Command Network Module (CNM)]], a standard issue module for [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Forces]] unit commanders (1000 cR), and the [[Hardened Uplink|Hardened Uplink (HUL)]], an intelligence collection sensor for use during sensitive operations (5000 cR).<ref>''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', Armory - Mark V[B] Variants</ref>  

**In the final release, the CNM and HUL attachments in the beta were merged into the [[UA attachments#Helmets|Up-Armored (UA)]] helmet attachment. The HUL became a camera/sensor-like attachment on the side of the helmet, rather than being located on the top.

*In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta'', a number of armor pieces had different names from the final release. [[FJ/PARA-class Mjolnir|FJ/PARA]] shoulders were originally called Mark V[B], and [[Armor accessories/UA|UA/Multi-Threat]] shoulders were called FJ/PARA. When the default, unarmored shoulders were changed to Mark V[B], FJ/PARA was changed to UA/Multi-Threat, and Mark V[B] was changed to FJ/PARA.{{Ref/Reuse|Armory}}
