==Development history==

Developed by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]], the Orbital variant was tested and was the first to survive the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]] testing site, granting it a skull on the visor on some models of it, known as the "Mark of the Breaker".<ref name="H4EVG"/>

The suit is a modified variant following the same production lines as the [[EVA-class Mjolnir]], though it was developed specifically for orbital and suborbital combat, where conditions similar to space often converge with harsh atmosphere and gravity-borne challenges.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

It was also field-tested during the battles in the [[skyhook]]s and [[space elevator]]s on [[Earth]] and [[Luna]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].<ref name="h4guide">[[Halo_4_Interactive_Guide#Armor_Types|'''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' ''- Armor Types: Orbital'']]</ref>  This test and success of it lead this armor to be adopted by [[Spartan-IV]]'s.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

==Usage==

Adoption of this set hasnt overtaken EVA. Though War Games has proven Orbitals viability repeatedly.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

Patrolling Spartans equipped with ORBITAL-class Mjolnir armor are a common sight near Earth's orbital tethers and military space stations.<ref name="H5 Armory"/>
