''Designed specifically for airborne units; maximum protection, minimum weight.''
In 2552, [[Catherine-B320]] of [[NOBLE Team]] wore the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons. Four other members of NOBLE Team wore the FJ/PARA knee guards: [[Carter-A259]], [[Jun-A266]], [[Emile-A239]], and [[Thom-A293]].{{Ref/Game|HR}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Deliver Hope]]}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the knee guards of [[NOBLE-class Mjolnir|NOBLE-]], [[VIGILANT-class Mjolnir|VIGILANT-]], and [[WRATH-class Mjolnir|WRATH-classes]] Mjolnir featured physical architecture similar to FJ/PARA knee guards due to the armors being recreations of the customized armors which belonged to the Spartan-IIIs from NOBLE Team.{{Ref/Game|Id=noble|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=NOBLE - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=vigilant|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=VIGILANT - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=wrath|Game=H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=WRATH - In-game model}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Noble Intentions|D=31|M=7|Y=2021}} Similarly, the shoulder pauldron of [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir]] also resembled the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons of Kat-B320's armor.{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=INTRUDER - In-game model}}

==Trivia==
*"FJ" is likely an abbreviation of ''[[Wikipedia:Fallschirmjäger|Fallschirmjäger]]'', the German word for "paratrooper".
*"FJ" is an abbreviation of ''[[Wikipedia:Fallschirmjäger|Fallschirmjäger]]'', the German word for "paratrooper".
*During the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the final model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was designated as the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V[B]]]. The FJ/PARA shoulders from the ''Beta'' then became the [[Armor accessories/UA|UA/Multi-threat shoulder pauldrons]] in the final game.  
*The current model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was titled as the Mark V[B] shoulder in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]. The Beta's FJ/PARA shoulders became the UA/Multi-threat shoulders in the final game.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WD0RK578PY '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach - The Armory Montage'']</ref><ref>[http://www.spawn.com/news/news6.aspx?id=13704 '''SPAWN.COM''': ''HALO: REACH SERIES 2 ANNOUNCED'']</ref> It is possible that the FJ/PARA knee guards were intended to be the default in-game knee guards instead of a variant. Prior to the game's finalization, what would become the FJ/PARA knee guards were present on [[SPARTAN-B312]], representing the character wearing basic armor prior to to the player's customization. Even after being given fully default armor, most videos and images showed the SPARTAN wearing FJ/PARA kneeguards with otherwise fully default armor; Six's Xbox Avatar armor also still has FJ/PARA knees.

*[[Catherine-B320]]'s FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron pictured in a cover art image for ''Game Informer'' magazine started a recurring joke among the fan community as the shoulder can be seen resembling a face. This "character" was jokingly dubbed "Oonsk" as a humorous pronunciation of the "UNSC" labeled to the shoulder.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28577 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''The Birth of an Icon'']</ref> The character was later acknowledged by [[Bungie]] in their [[Bungie Weekly Update|weekly updates]],<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012210 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.22.10'']</ref> and was included in a painting created by [[Frank O'Connor]].<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=963223 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: kjfsklg;'']</ref> The painting was later auctioned off by IGN as a part of a charity event.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28772 '''IGN''': ''IGN for Haiti - Oonsk Sells Big'']</ref>

*The shoulder pauldrons are similar in geometry to the UNSC [[health pack]].
*The knee guards are unique as the only set of knee guards that are colored according to the player's secondary armor color.
*Four members of [[Noble Team]] wore the FJ/PARA kneeguards: [[Carter-A259]], [[Jun-A266]], [[Emile-A239]], and [[Thom-293]]. The only exceptions to this are [[Jorge-052]] and [[Catherine-B320]], who wear MJOLNIR Mark IV[G] and default knee guards respectively. SPARTAN-B312 may also wear FJ/PARA kneeguards if the player so chooses.
