History: Three were constructed a little under twenty years ago; two have been constructed since then. They've each been worn by a series of people in the service of the Matrix; several times the wearer has been killed, and the armor repaired.

Operation: You put the armor on and then you put the helmet on. It adds to your strength and gives you defenses and sense modes. There are subsonic subliminal emitters, and White injectors built in. Pressing the button injects you with the healing drugs.

Personal: The wearer of each tends to think of the armor as the power of the Matrix that they're wearing. Not in a weird metaphysical sense, but in the way that a police badge is the physical embodiment of "cop powers." It makes them feel strong and feared and invincible.

Combined: They're all worn by Matrix stormtroopers, though they're not all being worn at this moment. They're all in the Well system; more are at Joyous Gard and on this station than in other concentrations. They are made from a Hegemonic design with inworld-tech modifications, and are designed to be a single integrated and inseparable system.
