You can read in the description for EVA armor that it was developed using data from the Summa deep space incident. I love reading about lore, and anomalies like this really interest. The question is simple: I want to know what the hell happened during the Summa deep space incident. Thank you for any information you might have.
The Summa Deep Space Incident was an event that sparked multiple projects related to research and development of Extra-Vehicular Activity equipment, such as the MJOLNIR Mark VI/EVA Battle Armor and the Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity.

I know about that and all, but I wish to know exactly what happened in the actual event. Was there the discovery of a forerunner structure? Was some covenant technology captured?

We don’t know, it’s just one of those little bits of information that doesn’t get explored. Look at the Air Assault armor, that stuff has some history. http://www.halopedia.org/Air_Assault
None of that was really expanded upon. Another interesting one is the Hoplite armor http://www.halopedia.org/Hoplite

Well I really hope 343i satisfies my curiosity. Thanks for info on Air Assualt and Hoplite armor though.
