==Overview:==
In the late 3050's, the forces of the Black Warriors had their
first contact with battle armor on separate raids into the Lyran
Alliance and Free Worlds League. Their first contact surprised the
Black Warriors and did severe damage to their salvage teams, which
were unarmored infantry, and some damage to their 'Mech forces.
President McIntyre was furious at the failure of the missions, but
after hearing General Cirion's explanation, he planned an
operation that was meant to capture one of the suits and some of
the technicians that worked on them.

The raid on Sierra was extremely successful and netted them two
Achilleus suits, one surviving warrior and three technicians.
President McIntyre set the technicians immediately to work on suit
for the forces of the Circinus Federation. The technicians ran
into trouble immediately when they discovered that the Circinians
lacked the technolgy base to produce the light chassis used on the
Achilleus. This problem was easily remedied when they discovered
that there was a plant on Circinus that produce CargoLifter
Exo-skeletons.

They quickly adapted the chassis by removing the cargo-lifting
arms and replacing them with armored gloves. They then increased
the power of the main power cell to give the suit better speed on
the ground. Three infantry jump packs were added to give the suit
added mobility and maneuverability.

On the left arm they mounted a Heavy Grenade Launcher [some
variants replace this with a Support MG]. The right arm is kept
free of weapons but the warrior can use number of standard
infantry weapons thanks to the use armored gloves rather than
manipulators. Most warriors carry a large vibrosword to use in close
quarters against unarmed civilians and conventional infantry.
