The FJ/PARA is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. Compatible with the Mark V, it is designed specifically for airborne units, and is intended to offer maximum protection with minimum weight.^[1] Some members of Noble Team wear FJ/PARA knee guards, with Catherine-B320 wearing the shoulder pauldrons.

The FJ/PARA variant includes shoulder pauldrons, which cost 250 cR each, as well as knee guards, available for 10,000 cR.^[2]

TriviaEdit

• The current model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was titled as the Mark V[B] shoulder in the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, with the Beta's FJ/PARA shoulder appearing considerably different.^[3][4]
• Catherine-B320's FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron pictured in a cover art image for Game Informer magazine started a recurring joke among the fan community as the shoulder can be seen resembling a face. This "character" was jokingly dubbed "Oonsk" as a humorous pronunciation of the "UNSC" labeled to the shoulder.^[5] The character was later acknowledged by Bungie in their weekly updates,^[6] and was included in a painting created by Frank O'Connor.^[7] The painting was later auctioned off by IGN as a part of a charity event.^[8]
• The knee guards are very similar to the knee guards on the ODST Ballistic Battle Armor in Halo 3.
• FJ is thought to stand for the German word for paratrooper, Fallschirmjaeger. Para obviously represents Paratrooper.
• The FJ/PARA shoulder pads bear a striking resemblance to those used by the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI.
