The Mark VII was produced by a supplier other than [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]], which produced the previous models. It is more lightweight than prior versions.<ref name="glass291"/> The Mark VII implements several features not exhibited by earlier MJOLNIR incarnations. Most notably, the armor contains [[Nanotechnology|nano-technological]] components which enable the armor to repair and upgrade itself autonomously without outside influences, such as while the user is in [[cryo chamber|cryosleep]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 213''</ref> The Mark VII also features limited energy shield shaping.<ref name="wp mjolnir"/> Naomi-010's Mark VII suit resembles the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V (B)|Mark V [B]]],<ref>''Halo: The Thursday War'' [[:File:HThursday War - Cover.jpeg|cover art]]</ref> which may be due to the Spartan's choice in her armor's appearance.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 174''</ref> | The Mark VII was produced by a supplier other than [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]], which produced the previous models.

The Mark VII proved to be cost-ineffective to mass-produce and was never manufactured in large numbers, particularly in light of the development of the more versatile GEN2 platform which enabled more economical optimization for the different Spartan generations in service, while the first generation was mainly optimized for the Spartan-IIs.<ref name="wp mjolnir">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/mjolnir '''Halo Waypoint''': ''MJOLNIR'']</ref> However, a number of technologies developed for the Mark VII program were incorporated to the MJOLNIR [GEN2] system. The closest GEN2 armor model to the Mark VII is the [[DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir|DECIMATOR variant]], though it is mostly unknown outside of the [[Spartan (branch)|Spartan]] special forces community.<ref name="reqlamation" | The Mark VII proved to be cost-ineffective to mass-produce and was never manufactured in large numbers, particularly in light of the development of the more versatile GEN2 platform which enabled more economical optimization for the different Spartan generations in service, while the first generation was mainly optimized for the Spartan-IIs.<ref name="wp mjolnir">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/mjolnir '''Halo Waypoint''': ''MJOLNIR'']</ref> However, a number of technologies developed for the Mark VII program were incorporated to the MJOLNIR [GEN2] system.
