AMPLIO-class Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor

AMPLIO-class Mjolnir was originally developed by Cornerstar Industries to serve as a technology demonstrator for their attempts to develop new urban combat technology and lighter suit dynamics for Mjolnir suits. The suit was also used to test other experimental technologies ranging from unique armor designs and sensory arrays among other things.
Despite its experimental origins, AMPLIO was adopted and saw a limited production run due to the Banished posing an increasing threat after the conflict on Zeta Halo.

==Origins==
The origins of AMPLIO-class Mjolnir begin with the commissioning of Talon Station as the new headquarters of the Cornerstar Research & Development Division. As the GEN2 platform and its technologies were designed and produced, the need for a new generation of mjolnir armour developed specifically for urban combat or fast-tempo warfare became obvious. A team was assembled with UNSC approval to design and create armour to fill this niche. Led by Dr. Lyson Ivanoff, who was assigned to the divisions armour department, the project began.
==Development History==
Development of AMPLIO or at least the first known prototype dubbed "AMPILO Mk I" was created around June 2558. The prototype didn't prove a success and was too slow and heavy. A second prototype dubbed "Mk 1 Alpha" was later finished and showed promise to the higher ups at Cornerstar. This "Alpha" design would become the base of future AMPILO prototypes and later production models. 2 more prototypes were created dubbed "Beta and Gamma" between early 2559 and mid 2560. The Gamma design has no known surviving imagery but it is described to have been nearly identical to the final "Delta" armour design, which was showcased to UNSC officials on September 30, 2560. The suit was initially not the approval for production under the citing of "lightly armoured, supposed uncomfortable feel with Spartan testers, and lack of counterintrusion technology". However it was given credit for becoming one of the lightest Mjolnir power armor designs to date.
Despite the UNSC saying future prospects of the AMPILO armour to be pointless, Cornerstar began plans to create an upgraded "Mk II" armour to fix the issues of the Mk1 Delta design. This was accelerated in October 2560 after the UNSC ordered Cornerstar to provide an upgraded design by the end of the year and present it to them ready for production and combat. The design team managed to deliver it by late November and the UNSC approved a limited production run.
==Operational History==
The MK 2 AMPILO Mjolnir powered assault armour was first deployed on December 5, 2560 on the UNSC Graceful Phoenix, for use by Fireteam Luna during operations on Arcadia during the Mantle Wars of the 2560s.
