Description
The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System,[1] commonly known as the Mantis, is a powered exoskeleton/armored fighting vehicle used by the UNSC Marine Corps after the Human-Covenant War.[3][4] It is derived, if tangentially, from the HRUNTING and YGGDRASIL teams' earlier Mark I Armor Defense SystemThe earliest known use of the Mantis occurred in early 2553, when one was delivered to Kilo-Five aboard their prowler UNSC Port Stanley.[6] The Mantis continued to be in use only by select highly classified ONI units and the UNSC Infinity,[1] which carried a number of Mantises by 2557. After Infinity was drawn inside the shield world Requiem, Spartan John-117 used a Mantis against Covenant remnant forces in the vicinity of the ship's crash site.[3] Several Mantises were used to defend Ivanoff Station.[7] Later that year, Infinity's SPARTAN-IV complement used a version with scaled-down weapons in War Games training.[4] During the Second Battle of Requiem, Fireteam Crimson was sent to rescue a squad of Marines trapped behind enemy lines. During the rescue attempt Crimson was met with overwhelming Covenant forces, Commander Sarah Palmer ordered mission handler Robert Dalton to deploy several Mantises to aid Crimson in holding off enemy forces.[8] Several Mantises were used in the defense of Magma Base.[9] During the attack on the Infinity, Lieutenant Murphy brought in a Mantis to support Fireteam Crimson in order to clear a landing zone.
