The Italiani mechajock is the elite trooper of the Italiani armies. They serve a multitude of purpose: tech, pilots, crewman and soldier. Their formation reflect the fact that mecha are rare on Italia and only the best (or luckiest) get assigned to mechanized units. Being chosen to enter the Giovanni Institute of Warfare (GIW) in Madre is an honor bestowed only to the best Italiani and all Powerians. Entry in the GIW is required to join the mechajocks.
