'''Assault Type''' is one of the several types in the unofficial "type convention", an archetyping paradigm for describing the intended combat role of various designs of [[Lorica]] fighting vehicles. Unlike the much more iconic description "[[Ace Type]]", assault type describes a relatively narrow combat role, not horrifyingly different from that of a general infantryman; ironically, this makes it the most open-to-interpretation of all the combat types other than [[Ace Type]].

Drawing inspiration from the type precursor, the [[Lorica Prima]] '''X-01 Trooper''', most Assault Types can be thought of as general-purpose combat vehicles, lacking the immediacy of the comparable [[Interceptor Type]] or the range and staying power of the [[Scout Type]]. The middling engine output of the core units of most models thought of as Assault Types make them equally inappropriate for use in the [[Battery Type]].

Many Lorica units can be thought of as Assault Types, such as the extremely iconic [[Durandal Arms]] [[Julius]] and [[Diego]] models. While battle doctrines differ and exceptions abound, there are two primary combat loadouts often seen for Assault Types:
* '''Offense-Forward''', in which the unit is usually equipped with one handheld melee weapon and one handheld ranged weapon, almost always a [[deadmass]] and an [[autocannon]]. This differs from the [[Interceptor Type]] usually only in the specific qualities of the model being deployed (and, it is worth noting, some interceptors are ''melee only'').
* '''Defense-Foreward''', in which the melee weapon seen in an Offense-Forward configuration is discarded in favour of a [[shield]]. Though requiring some special pilot training to be used effectively, this is an extremely survivable configuration and commonly seen as "iconic" among fans of [[Lorica]] vehicles. Again, as with the above build, it primarily differs from the [[Interceptor Type]] more in terms of the vehicle itself rather than the equipment configuration.
