Variant: Mark IV

The Mark IV was the basis for all the MJOLNIR designs. Eschewing the tank like appearance of the previous models, the Mark IV armor allowed for direct user control through a neural interface that connected directly with the wearer's spine. The Mark IV did not feature the later advancements of the MJOLNIR line-it still did not have energy shields or magnetic holders for grenades , and it had a very limited radar unit but it did feature a built-in fusion reactor that allowed for nearly unlimited movement. Rumors originating from the planet Ariel have claimed that there were more advanced prototypes of the Mark IV in the field, including architecture for energy shields and perhaps even in-suit technology, but such reports have not been confirmed by Oni.
