Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor/Black

Developed as a part of Project: MJOLNIR, the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black variant is a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor created by a top secret parallel development lab in Seongnam, United Korea. While it was visually similar to the standard Mark VI armor, it included features that neither the Mark V or VI had: the HUD had a field of view of nearly five thousand meters, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance; the armor was jet-black rather than the standard olive-green, to increase the user's ability to hide in shadow during combat; one arm included a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of Covenant-to-English and English-to-Covenant, intended for use in interrogation and nicknamed as such; the armour was capable of carrying a seventh-generation "Smart" AI, Iona; and although it was used before the Battle of Reach, it included recharging energy shields. Being a prototype, it was not without its flaws - it had trouble being exact with altitudes, making three-dimensional tracking difficult, and the biofoam infectors could set a broken ankle into the wrong shape to heal. The armor was used by Team Black during the Battle of Verge and during their actions on Line Installation 1-4
