Semi-Powered Infiltration armor: Difference between revisions

Though more advanced than the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s' [[ODST Ballistic Battle Armor|ballistic body armor]], it is far less advanced and less powerful than the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] used by the [[Spartan-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]]. Its main benefit is that it is drastically cheaper to produce than the MJOLNIR armor. The SPI armor was designed with an emphasis on stealth rather than on raw power. It features [[Camouflage Cloak|special photo-reactive panels]] that mimic the surrounding textures, effectively being the UNSC equivalent to the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant's]] [[Active Camouflage|active camoflauge]] systems. It has been described as part "legionnaire mail, part tactical body armor, and part chameleon" by both [[Tom-B292]] and [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]].<ref>'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', page 16</ref>
