The '''MJOLNIR armor system''' (Pronunciation: (myôl'nir)) is a complex suit of armor designed by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] of the [[UNSC]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]<ref name="Sybex">[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0782142362/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-1277807-1730301# Halo Bible Entry] on Page 5 of [[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets|Halo: Combat Evolved: Strategies & Secrets]]</ref>. The armor has undergone several incarnations during the many years of it's development. The suit is named for the mythical weapon Mjolnir. Mjolnir the hammer of the Aesir, Thor, the Norse god of lightning, thunder, wind, and rain. The origin for the word "Mjolnir" is unknown, though etymological speculation has provided theories for its literal translation. The Icelandic verbs mölva (to crush) and mala (to grind) have been suggested as possible translations. Another theory suggests that Mjolnir might be related to the Russian word молния (molniya) and the Welsh word mellt (both words being translated as "lightning"). This second theory parallels with the idea that Thor, being a god of thunder, therefore might have used lightning as his weapon. | The '''MJOLNIR armor system''' (Pronunciation: (myôl'nir)) is a complex suit of armor designed by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] of the [[UNSC]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]<ref name="Sybex">[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0782142362/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-1277807-1730301# Halo Bible Entry] on Page 5 of [[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets|Halo: Combat Evolved: Strategies & Secrets]]</ref>.
