'''ORBITAL-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] manufactured by [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|Armor permutations (Halo 4)|Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Orbital Description|Quote=Used along Luna's Skyhooks and tethers during the Covenant's assault on Sol.}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The helmet features the Buffalo A-29 comm suite, which works flawlessly with the ad-hoc and anarchic telecommunication networks found in many [[Human colonies|colonies]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Orbital - Helmet Description|Quote=The Buffalo A-29 comm suite in the ORBITAL helmet works flawlessly with the ad-hoc and anarchic telecommunication networks found in many colonies.}} Some models of the helmet have the "Mark of the Breaker" skull emblazoned on the visor.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The suit has momentum-governing collar mounts,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} a valence-fading blast shield, L4-0 braced generators, and tow-grip isolation packs for quick yet stable mobility in zero-g settings.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4LE|Halo 4 Limited Edition|[[Infinity Briefing Packet|''Infinity'' briefing packet]]}}

===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}}

==In-game Information==

==Production notes==
