| |
| | |
| ===Development history===
| |
| Developed by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]], the Orbital variant was tested and was the first to survive the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]] testing site. This granted some models of the helmet a distinct skull emblem, known as the "Mark of the Breaker", on the visor.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | |
| | |
| The suit is a modified variant following the same production lines as the [[EVA-class Mjolnir]], though it was developed specifically for orbital and suborbital combat, where conditions similar to space often converge with harsh atmosphere and gravity-borne challenges.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
| |
| | |
| It was also field-tested during the battles in the [[skyhook]]s and [[space elevator]]s on [[Earth]] and [[Luna]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/f8d1297c-a0ac-4a4a-bda3-992ec03ae2e0/orbital|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: Orbital|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}} This test was a success, leading to the Orbital-class armor's adoption by [[Spartan-IV]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
| |
| | |
| ===Usage===
| |
| Patrolling Spartans equipped with ORBITAL-class Mjolnir armor are a common sight near Earth's orbital tethers and military space stations.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Orbital - Body Description|Quote=Patrolling Spartans equipped with ORBITAL-class Mjolnir armor are a common sight near Earth's orbital tethers and military space stations.}} Some models of the helmet have the "Mark of the Breaker" skull emblazoned on the visor. Adoption of this set has not overtaken the EVA variant, although [[War Games]] has repeatedly proven the Orbital armor's viability.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

| ===''Halo 4''=== | | ===Halo 4=== |
| Orbital was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has two available skins: Aeon (AEON) and Swift (SWFT). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.

| ===''Halo 5: Guardians''=== | | ==Trivia== |
| The Orbital set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces—primarily the [[Twin-plated]] forearms and [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]] legs. The Orbital set has three alternate skins: Perihelion, Aphelion and Equinox. | | *The Orbital helmet's human skull painted onto the visor in ''[[Halo 4]]'' is similar to [[Emile|Emile-A239's]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|EVA [C] helmet]]. |
