MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black

Developed as a part of Project: MJOLNIR, the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black variant is a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor created by a top secret parallel development lab in Seongnam, United Korea.

Overview
While it is visually similar to the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR armor, it includes features that neither the Mark V or VI have. The HUD has a field of view of nearly five thousand meters, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance. The armor is colored jet black rather than the standard olive green, increasing the user's ability to hide in shadows during combat. One arm includes a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of Covenant lanuages to English and from English to Covenant speech, intended for use in interrogation: this is nicknamed "the Interrogator". The armor is capable of carrying a seventh-generation "Smart" AI, Iona. Like the Marks V and VI, MJOLNIR: Black features recharging energy shielding.

Being a prototype, it features some flaws: it has trouble displaying exact altitude, making three-dimensional tracking difficult, and the biofoam injectors could set a broken ankle into the wrong shape to heal. The armor was used by Team Black during the Battle of Verge and during their actions on Line Installation 1-4

Trivia

 * It is possible that the Mk. VI Helmet that is seen in Halo Reach's Armory is the MJOLNIR Black Prototype.
