PALADIN-class Mjolnir is a MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor helmet variant, designed for the MJOLNIR Mark IV platform.[1]
Overview
Design details
While designed for the MJOLNIR Mark IV platform, the Paladin helmet integrates MJOLNIR GEN3 technologies and focuses on improving Spartan combat effectiveness.[1] The Paladin helmet is compatible with the Project GOSWHIT attachment, which consists of a revolutionary target acquisition suite and hardened uplink.[2]
Development history
Manufactured by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Watershed Division, the Paladin helmet is one of Dr. Catherine Halsey's side projects in which she revisited her work with the MJOLNIR Mark IV platform.[1] The Project GOSWHIT attachment intended for the Paladin helmet was built by Halsey from spare parts and hand-crafted microcode, specifically with the intent to humble Watershed Division.[2]
Usage
At some point, Spartan-II Robert-025 of Omega Team wore a Paladin helmet.[3][Note 1]

Trivia
- The Paladin helmet is likely a reference to the Paladins, the twelve legendary knights of Wikipedia:Charlemagne's court. These knights were led by Roland, with their most influential appearance being in the French poem The Song of Roland.
- Project GOSWHIT also has its origins in medieval legend with "Goswhit" being the name of the helmet worn by King Arthur.

Note
- ^ 343 Industries noted in a Canon Fodder post that both the concept art and the final Halo Wars 2 in-game models of Omega Team could be considered authoritative in some capacity, stating that "Discerning lore-lovers should feel free to consider both iterations fair game for expanding their imaginations." Furthermore, the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia utilizes said concept art for its depiction of Omega Team, firmly cementing their armors' canon status.
