MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor

The MJOLNIR system was the successor to the MASS ( Modular Assault Shielded Super-Suit ). As a suit, the system was commissioned by the Galactic Empire for the SPARTAN-II program. The SPARTAN-II's we're augmented supersoldiers commisioned by Beta-5 division of Imperial Intelligence, who would also later commision the SPARTAN-III's and SPARTAN-IV's.

The MJOLNIR armor is one of the most advanced piece of tactical military hardware in the Republic's hands. . The brainchild of Dr. Catherine E.Halsey, MJOLNIR is Halsey's attempt to create a powered exoskeleton capable of taking full advantage of the physical capabilities of an Imperial Commando. The battlesuit is constructed in overlapping layers. It is a sealed system, capable of extravehicular and submersible activity or operations in toxic atmosphere. It is hardened against EMP and radiation, and has filters that are completely effective at removing toxins and bacteria from local atmosphere. The armor's outer shell is composed of a multilayer alloy of remarkable strength and has been augmented with a refractive coating capable of dispersing a semi-limited amount of blaster bolt strikes, and to a certain degree, hits from a lightsaber. The suit contains a gel-filled layer underneath a thick black armored bodysuit. The gel layer regulates temperature and can re-actively change its density. The inner skinsuit is made of a moisture-absorbing synthetic material linked to an environment control computer. Each commando being has a molecular fiber network called the nervous system within their brain. This network translates electrochemical signals to digital code and routes them through an interface connection at the rear of the skull. Through this interface, the user's thoughts command the armor's movement and weapons; and input from the onboard sensors comes directly to the user's mind. The kinesis between machine and mind is so fast that it is impossible to chart reaction time. The suit also possesses other features that enhance its wearer's abilities. It has numerous clips, belts, and magnetic holsters for the attachment of additional weapons and ammunition; an advanced Heads-Up-Display(HUD) linked to sensors in the gloves detects the type of weapon and devices held, and to project shield strength, ammunition count, a targeting reticle, waypoints, a radio uplink for communication, health monitoring and other helpful data. In its final phase the MJOLNIR battlesuit  385.55 kg when in use, and is a fully neural-linked system. Combined with a heavy weapons load-out, the MJOLNIR armor is designed to be the most devastating tool ever created. With the SPARTAN-IV program being commisioned in 9 BBY, the MJOLNIR Gen 2 was created for the more advanced and cheaper SPARTAN-IV's, who we're regular Imperial agents and commandos who we're augmented to wield the MJOLNIR Gen 2's Mk VII, which was, at the time , the most advanced, cheapest, and best MJOLNIR variation to date.
