OPERATOR-class Mjolnir
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
OPERATOR refers to two distinct variants of Mjolnir armor. The GEN1 Operator variant, originally designed by Chalybs Defense Solutions,[1] was designed for special forces within Beta-5 Division's Asymmetrical Action Group; while the GEN2 permutation designated Operator, manufactured by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation, is optimized for the operation of vehicles.[4] ContentsGEN1 overview[edit]Specifications[edit]The Mark V variant of the armor was designed for use by Spartan operators within the ONI Beta-5 Division's Asymmetrical Action Group (AAG).[1][3] The standard version of the helmet features a B5D-O/Optics suite,[1] which is mounted on the forehead. The UA/HUL variant replaces the standard optics suite with an up-armor plate featuring a Hardened Uplink Module on the left side. Another variant, which is issued to unit commanders,[3] features Command Network Module-Improved on the right side. The Operator systems's shoulder pauldrons are simply armored bands mounted on the user's base shoulder guards, with two string-like attachments descending from the bottom. There is a geometrical pattern emblazoned on the plate as well. After the first wave of GEN2 systems, based on requests of veteran Spartan-II and Spartan-III operatives, the UNSC Ordnance Commission considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V EVA-class Mjolnir, specifically the customized suit worn by Emile-A239 complete with the death's head engraving on the visor. This led to the creation of the WRATH-class Mjolnir with the left shoulder pad based off the Mark V Operator's shoulders.[5] Development history[edit]While the non-Spartan members of the Asymmetrical Action Group wear their own standard-issue armor, the Beta-5 Division contracted Chalybs Defense Solutions to develop a MJOLNIR variant designed to improve the performance of the AAG's Spartan personnel. The armor, which was jointly developed at the Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility and tested at Chalybs Testing Preserve,[note 1] can provide the wearer with detailed, on-the-fly intelligence through secure transmissions that can bypass most Covenant security networks.[1] GEN2 compatibility[edit]Following the Human-Covenant War, the GEN1 Operator helmet has been forced out of its former secrecy within Beta-5. Available in limited numbers with Spartan Operations personnel, the helmet can be requisitioned for use with the Spartans' GEN2 armor.[6] Usage[edit]The Mark IV variant of the armor was worn by Joshua-029 during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.[7]
GEN2 overview[edit]Specifications[edit]The reactor of the GEN2 version of the OPERATOR armor is a low-set reactor pack. The helmet has a PV-20, which is a set of dual-locked rebreathers generally worn by pilots.[2] The visor has an open visor view-plate for increased range of spectrum, with sensor fusion software that ties the info into the visor to be finalised.[8] The chest has external harness bracers. Twin-release cables on the chest route energy expenditure to reserve systems.[2] Development history[edit]Sometime after the Fall of Reach, the Operator armor was taken over by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation, after the abandonment of all CDS facilities on Meridian,[9] and was tested extensively with live fire exercises in the NCC's abandoned shipyards on the outskirts of Abilene.[4] Unlike its predecessor, it optimizes a Spartan for the operation and control of vehicles.[10] Usage[edit]Operator armor has proven itself an adaptable combat ensemble in Spartan service, utilized by both pilots and force reconnaissance operatives.[8] In-game information[edit]Halo: Reach[edit]Helmet[edit]Developed exclusively for the ONI's Beta-5 Asymmetrical Action Group.
