|The Goblinstrike effort by [[Venezia]] makes use of [[Created]] technology stolen from [[Balaho]] to restart a [[Covenant]] factory satellite and manufacture [[Unggoy|Grunt]]-ish armor for augmented [[Human|human]] mercenaries. Phew. Get all that? The BOGGART is the first result that didn't result in unnecessary fatalities from design defects. For Banished and independent Grunts it is also a friendly face in an unfriendly galaxy. Friendly for a Grunt, at least.

==Production notes==
During ''Halo Infinite's'' development, the Eaglestrike armor was known internally as "Iron Eagle", following a similar naming scheme to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] being dubbed "Olympus" in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and ''Halo Infinite''.{{citation needed}} Additionally, assets for the Eaglestrike armor core were present in the game's mid-2021 [[Halo Infinite Multiplayer Tech Preview|flights and builds]], having been leaked shortly after flights began, although it would not be spoken of until Season 02 previews in 2022.

While Eaglestrike and most Fractures armor alike either feature wholly original designs or take visual and design cues from core canon armor, the Lancejack armor set released during Snowbound deviates and takes design elements from a fellow Fracture: [[Fractures: Tenrai|Tenrai]]. Specifically, the First and Second Movement shoulders and wrist seem to be the basis for the Type-10 Defenders and Babysitter Watch respectively. Both feature a dual piped design that shifts into a frilled, upper region, with a squared, large shoulder that is segmented into three major parts.
