Byzantine Motor Cataphract

"These are the Byzantine motor cataphracts. Seem that Byzantia had found out that they wanted to restore their former glory and fight for the Coalition of the Red Phoenix and the Coalition of the Red Star since Tifa Lockhart was framed for destroying the old Byzantine ruins. Now they're modernized."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Lockhart's Fault

Byzantine Motor Cataphract the special elite unit of the Byzantia. They were founded by the modern Byzantine republican military who want restore the Byzantine glory and the Coalition of the Red Phoenix after frameup.

They are re-established when the Italian descendants and the former Byzantine descendants who want to restore the glory of Byzantine after Tifa Lockhart being framed for destroying Byzantine ruins. This is how Byzantine Republic (as Byzantia) was born

They are the modern descendants of the mounted Byzantine cataphract that they are motorized-mechanical but heavy armored soldiers who can mounting on their fast IFV (which known as Cataphract IFV), and there are 3,14 %-7% chance to control the fast MBT (which known as Cataphract MBT)

Without vehicles, they can carry heavy weapons and even the melee weapons for defense. Sometimes, they can wear the modern motor cataphract outfit along with special gear but very masked and bulletproof. They can use horse for ceremonial events.

Soon, they are now the toughful heavy units that they are special units until they become the successful unit in USRAC War.
