User:Killjax/MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor Mark VII



The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor Mark V/(D) Variant is the latest iteration of the MJOLNIR Powered armor series. Its previous installment, the (B) Variant, saw action late in the war among the Special Warfare Command, Group 3 during the Human-Covenant War(Noble Team→). When the war ended, over 5,000 armor units were placed in storage. Until 2565, the armor has been revitalised to meet the demands of the S.P.A.R.T.A.N IV Program, and has thus been upgraded with modern key components and systems software for its physical and integration characteristics.

Armor Design
The Mark V(D) Variant retained the original armor concept of the (B) Variant, but has been technologicaly updated internally and redone with its protective shielding externaly. With only a few dozen Mark VI models in combat condition, most of its armor upgrades and technical components from previous models were "mimicked" over to the (D) Variant. Such as Biofoam injectors, the improved liquid crystal and hydrostatic gel layers, recoil-compensating actuators which handle weapon feedback, improved computer system which continuously monitored weapons, biological functions, and motion through intelligent motion-sensing radar.

Helmet
Made out of a Titanium alloy, the helmet contains key features like a Heads Up Display (HUD) that links to the cerebral neruons and hands, and can identify equipment (Covenant and UNSC alike) and display information about them when it is handled by the wearer. It can directly link the neural interface system which connects to the Spartans neural implants. When the connector at the rear of the subjects head and receptors in the brain link to the helmets on board sensors, it creates the neural link needed to move the MJOLNIR suit. When the (B) Variant was upgraded, several key features from the Mark V were still retained, albeit with few minor differences. This included:
 * Atmospheric filters to remove chemical toxins from the atmosphere.
 * A supply to provide oxygen to the wearer during EVA (vacuum).
 * Thermal and motion sensors, and long/short range communications.
 * Self-powered lighting (unlike the solar powered lighting).
 * Imaging and video gear along with VISR mode.
 * AI housing unit, where a ship-borne AI chip is inserted, located on the back of the helmet.

Titanium Alloy Outer Shell
The outer shell of the armor. It is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy. This plating covers the chest, arms, hip, legs, calf's, feet and hands. This alloy is very resilient, can take significant punishment, and is nearly impervious to small arms fire. Project energy weapons, howerver, deal a greater blow to the armor as it can only take a few glancing shots.

N87 Titanium Nanocomposite Body armor Mark VI
"Sandwiched" between the external armor and the internal padding, the N87 "TNB" is a thick black armored bodysuit. This suit has numerous functions, small but vital to the safety and survival of the wearer. The bodysuit is made of a titanium-based material, making it very strong and yet very flexible. It also serves as another layer of protection against ballistics attacks and is coated with a heat resistant material to disperse heat from Plasma weapons.

Hydrostatic Gel
A gel layer located underneath the armored body suit, it regulates the temperature of the suit and can actively change its density to conform to the wearer's shape and limited size. The temperature inside the suit is controlled by a weather sensing component under hydrostatic layer. The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearers life should the wearer be subjected to high 'G' forces or a high velocity impact.

Reactive Metal Liquid Crystal Layer
Liquid crystal forms the inner structure of the suit. This reactive metal increases the strength, reaction time, mobility, speed, and all around physical performance of the S.P.A.R.T.A.N IV. The suit's artificial intelligence is supported by this layer of crystal, knitted together at a molecular level and fitted in between the outer plates and the inner padding.

Magnetic Weapon Holder Strips
The Mk. IV, Mk. V, and Mk. VI all accomodated the magnetic strips. Small yet very powerful magnets place on the left and right of the upper leg, waist, and back of the suit and is used to hold any equipment with a magnetic property. The suit also contains a magnetic system on the boots of the MJOLNIR suit that allow its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in Zero G environments and can be activated ON or OFF by the wearer.

Human Energy Shielding
First used on the Mk. V, and later refined on the Mk. VI, then brought over to the (D) variant, the energy shield device was reversed engineered from captured Covenant technology from a Jackal Point-Defense Gauntlet. After the Human-Covenant War ended, Lt. Col. Morgan Pierce requested for sufficient energy shielding technology from the Sangheili. In accordance to the Intergalactice Charter, the Sangheili Ministry of Defense sent over a sample of their shielding technology for ground infantry purposes only. This was later adapted on the Mark V(D) Variant.

Pressure Seal
The Pressure Seal keeps the suit system in airtight, underwater, or in space operations. The seal is very strong and will only break under extreme pressure, such as in a high velocity impact or when the Hydrostatic Gel has been over pressurized.

Automatic Biofoam Injectors
Introduced on the Mk. VI models then later reversed engineered, the Biofoam injectors is an integral part of the systems ability to keep a Spartan functioning in battle. Biofoam, suited with anesthetic and other numbing compound, is injected into a wound the Spartan has received.

Mark III Fusion Reactor
The Mark III Fusion Reactor is the most essential part of the MJOLNIR (D) Variant System, as it provides power to all equipment on the MJOLNIR armor. The reactor is built into the suit and allows for nearly unlimited movement.

Force-Multiplying Circuit
Located throughout the armor unit, these systems boost the force applied by the wearer. They make CQC (Close-Quarters-Combat) easier. A more flexible version was installed on the (d) Variant to accomodate comfortability and more controlled actions.

Reactive Circuit
Reactive Circuits are systems installed directly linked to the Spartan Neural Interface. They amplify the wearer's reaction time by connecting directly to the thoughts of the wearer, making it much easier to control and allowing for the soldier to be both more efficient and have a higher survival rate in combat.

MJOLNIR Power Supply Control Unit
Control Unit that controls the power supply of the armor. Brought over to the Mark V(D) Variant. The PSCU is integrated into the miniature fusion reactor located on the back on the MJOLNIR armor. It provides power distribution to the suit's functions. A newer model was placed into the (D) Variant to allow more "armor stress" to be handled by the PSCU over longer periods of time.

MJOLNIR Mark VI BIOS
The basic input/output system, standard firmware interface for the Mark VI and (D) Variant. The BIOS handles most of the MJOLNIRs software functions when initiated. Updates to the BIOS allow newer hardware to be supported and function.
