Template:Armor Infobox The Nightfall armor is a hostile environment variant of the ODST armor developed by Cascade Stronghold Technology.[1] A variant of the armor designed for the MJOLNIR [GEN2] platform is available for use by Spartans.[2]

Overview

Compared to the similar GEN2 ODST armor, major differences include a data crystal chip port on the back of the helmet (much like those featured on the Mark V and later MJOLNIR iterations) and a camera integrated into the brim of the helmet (which consequently extends farther over the faceplate). The helmet's visor is retractable and contains a sophisticated VISR suite capable of identifying and analyzing objects in the environment.[3]

The armor is powered to some extent and is able to effectively negate the impact of a substantial fall during a deployment from a dropship, for example.[3]

Development history

Cascade Stronghold Technology, the company that ported the ODST armor to MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2], is also responsible for creating the MJOLNIR GEN 2 version of the Nightfall armor. The armor was built to function in extreme temperate conditions. The first models of the nightfall armor were deployed in 2551 to ONI operators.[1]

Developed at the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, Korea, Nightfall combines elements of standard Marine Corps body armor, ODST combat armor, and MJOLNIR.[4]

Usage

The armor is worn by Office of Naval Intelligence operatives.[3]

Spartans recruited from the Marine Corps favor the GEN2 Nightfall armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds due to its best-in-class life support.[2]
