SOLDIER-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2).[1]

Development history

Having entered service by January 2553,[2] the MJOLNIR/Soldier variant was manufactured by the Materials Group and tested at the Damascus Testing Facility on Chi Ceti IV. Soldier-class armor functions in a support capacity on the battlefield as operators equipped with this armor can carry substantially more equipment than Spartans wearing other armor types, while retaining their field mobility and dexterity.[1] In addition, the Soldier helmet is noted for its low power consumption and is one of the most comfortable MJOLNIR helmets to wear due to the excessive attention paid to ergonomics in its design.[3]

The Soldier variant maintains the second-highest adoption rate on the UNSC Infinity.[4] Because of its adaptability, design features of the Soldier system have been integrated to some newer models of ODST armor.[3]
