During the Post-Aether War Dark Age, Italy was completely in dissaray, warlords and bandits sprung up to assert their dominance in the desolate ruins and torment the populace, pillaging and enslaving as they saw fit.
Then, twenty years later, out of subterrenean bunkers located in former corporate headquarters, they emerged. Clad in armor impervious to anything the "Barbarians" could throw at it and brandishing hand-held .50 cals, they reasserted corporate dominance around the areas of Rome, and later most of Italy, dethroning warlords and winning over the peoples' trust so they could one day unite and rebuild civilization. A century and a half later, the New Roman Republic was formed.
Needless to say, the original Lorica Automata was the one of the keys to the NRR's formation, and features prominently in "historical" documentaries and fictions set during this time period, and some gladiators even sport it in the arena in its honor.
Features included: Waste Recycler, Enviromental Sealing, Twenty-hour power source (Rechargable through multiple methods, including solar), exoskeleton and helmet HUD. Weapons were all hand held and often regular infantry size.
