A Spartan equipped with various UA attachments: the ARMET visor attachment, a pair of Agathius shoulder pads, the M550D Halfplate chest piece, and the Type II-A1 Buckler wrist attachment.

UA, short for up-armored, is a series of supplemental armor attachments and accessories compatible with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and battle dress uniforms worn by UNSC infantry.[1]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The UA category encompasses various attachments that are compatible with the helmet, shoulders, chest, wrist and thigh components of the MJOLNIR Mark V and MJOLNIR [GEN3] armors.[2][3] The UA series are typically armor reinforcements with different purposes depending on the modules. They can either come as a singular module or as a kit.

Usage[edit]

Many of the UA pieces are not exclusive to the MJOLNIR system, but are in use by regular UNSC Army or Marine troops as well.[1] Some UA attachments are designed for specialized personnel, like Spartans tasked with breaching or members of Spartan containment teams.[4][5]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ a b Leon-011 is depicted wearing UA/Ringeck in Halo: Hippocratica, while the UA/NERA-SOFAS is described in the Armor Hall as a mix of old and new ERA tecnologies created by Isabel. Given this story is set in 2560, presumably while the Spirit of Fire and crew are still at Installation 00 (at least according to Adam Andrews's knowledge of the vessel's whereabouts) and the Armor Hall description of the UA/Ringeck produced on the Spirit of Fire mentioning it having revisions made by Isabel, it leaves room for the Spirit of Fire's Ringeck and NERA-SOFAS chest pieces to be a recreation of existing chest plates. As this is the most logical reconciliation of the discrepancy, this article describes it as such.
