Blue Team wearing Project: COBALT variants on Alpha Corvi II.

Project: COBALT is a project that introduced a new chassis of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV for Blue Team to use during the Human-Covenant War.[1]

Overview

In an effort to optimise each Spartan's field competencies and test skunkwork modifications, the Project: COBALT suits' titanium alloy frame were temporarily modified from their baseline Mark IV iterations to bear distinctive features.[2] The COBALT suits had prototype stealth technology that was in each suit[3], with the plating being tinted with the same refractive coating employed on the Office of Naval Intelligence's Prowlers.[2]
