Theoretical design elements for a seventh iteration of MJOLNIR were proposed by Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] in [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|her personal journal]] in [[2535]]; how many of these features were implemented in the final product is unknown. The Mark VII appeared to have been the last planned phase of the MJOLNIR project at the time. It would have utilized a power system that made use of a combination of [[Pinch fusion reactor|plasma]] and [[Fusion reactor|fusion]] technology, [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] de-insertion capability, active AI transfer protocols, and limited shaping of the suit's [[energy shielding|energy shield]].{{Ref/Book|Id=journal2|Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Detail=January 7, 2535}} | Theoretical design elements for a seventh iteration of MJOLNIR were proposed by Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] in [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|her personal journal]] in [[2535]]; how many of these features were implemented in the final product is unknown.

"Slipspace de-insertion capability" means that a Spartan would be able to exit a vessel traveling in slipspace and re-enter normal space, similar to the [[Long | "Slipspace de-insertion capability" means that a Spartan would be able to exit a vessel traveling in slipspace and re-enter normal space, similar to the [[Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pod]]. Halsey described "limited shaping of the energy shield" as the ability to form "partial overlaps, airfoils, etc."{{Ref/Reuse|journal2}} This incidentally would have been quite similar to the [[Forerunner]]s' practice of shaping [[hard light]]. | ||
Due to unexpected technological breakthroughs, some of these upgrades were implemented earlier than planned and are presumably featured in the production version of the Mark VII. For example, the Mark VI has integrated atmospheric insertion capabilities, which allow a Spartan to free-fall from space without a re-entry vehicle such as an [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]]. However, this requires a drag chute or parachute,{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Story=Armor Testing}} whereas the theoretical Mark VII would have all necessary technology integrated into the suit.{{Ref/Reuse|journal2}} | Due to unexpected technological breakthroughs, some of these upgrades were implemented earlier than planned and are presumably featured in the production version of the Mark VII.
