The Mark I battle armors were bulky exoskeletons that improved strength and stamina of the user's muscles. It had been fitted with a small chain minigun on the top of the shoulder. The Navy's first exoskeleton project. However the armor was impractical for combat, as it needed a power source too large to contain autonomously. The suit required a large cable to run between it and a generator, which hindered movement or use inefficient broadcast power, thus was never seen in battle, it was however used to carry heavy equipment in docking bays. Dr. Halsey's team had to scrap this concept and redesign battle armour from the ground up for project MJOLNIR. The Spartan IIs unarmed and unarmored, proved themselves superior to the Mark I, in every respect.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 70</ref> | The Mark I battle armors were bulky exoskeletons that improved strength and stamina of the user's muscles.
