CENTURION-class Mjolnir: Difference between revisions

'''CENTURION-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] manufactured by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Watershed Division]].<ref name="CF"/>

The [[Mark VI]] Centurion set was an experimental platform designed to combine the Mark VI armor's architecture with GEN2-era upgrades.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-marching-on '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder 3/21/2015: Marching On'']</ref>

The Centurion armor was manufactured by [[ONI]]'s [[Watershed Division]]. In [[2552#October|October 2552]] a Mark VI version of the armor was available.<ref name="terminal">'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''' - ''[[Terminal/Halo 2: Anniversary|Terminal Unyielding]]''</ref>

One of the testers was [[Fred-104]], with his suit having a primary purpose to serve as a testbed for new technologies before they were incorporated into the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR (GEN2) platform]], a more modern armor that would later be utilized by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]].<ref name="HWFred">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Universe: Frederic-104'']</ref>

[[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Fred-104]] received a prototype Centurion armor upon upgrading to the Mark VI platform at his return to [[Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]], shortly before the [[Battle for Earth]].<ref name="terminal"/> With it, Frederic fought numerous battles on Earth, and later participated in the [[Onyx Conflict]]. Following his return to Earth in [[2553]], he continued to field-test multiple variants of the Centurion armor during highly confidential operations,<ref name="HWFred"/> until at least October [[2558]].<ref name="CF"/>

The GEN2 variant is equipped with C4I2SR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Information, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)<ref>[http://www.acronymfinder.com/Command,-Control,-Communications,-Computers,-Intelligence,-Information,-Surveillance,-and-Reconnaissance-%28C4I2SR%29.html '''Acronym Finder''' - ''What does C4I2SR stand for?'']</ref> technology which, combined with the warfighting skills of the [[Spartan]] wearer, has had major ramifications on UNSC doctrine on battlespace shaping and operations planning. The suit's threat management system also features the latest situational awareness tactical software and cognition-enhancing neural interlinks.<ref name="CF"/><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' - ''Armory description''</ref>

The GEN2 variant was still being developed by the [[Watershed Division]].

By 2558, a GEN2 variant of Centurion is in use by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] Fred-104.
