Technical History
The MVF-M11C Murasame is a transformable mobile suit designed by the Orb Union as a successor to their earlier Astray series. While the Astrays had a "flight pack" derived from the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam's AQM/E-X01 Aile Striker for limited aerial maneuverability, the Murasame instead is capable of transforming into an airplane-like mobile armor mode for sustained aerial patrols and combat. MVF appears to stand for Main Variable Figure (or Fighter).
In mobile suit mode, the Murasame is armed with the standard beam rifle, beam saber, and head-mounted CIWS guns, similar to those of its predecessors. In mobile armor mode, its shield becomes the aircraft's nose, and the beam rifle, mounted on the right side, can still be fired. In addition, it mounts a centerline beam gun, four more CIWS on the forward-swept wings, and four small missile launchers on its underside. Four anti-ship missiles can also be mounted on wing hardpoints for added firepower.
Plot and/or Ending details
One Murasame is carried aboard the assault ship Archangel, piloted by former ZAFT ace Andrew Waltfeld and painted in his red and gold "Desert Tiger" colors. This unit is later piloted by Ledonir Kisaka to defend Orb against a ZAFT invasion. At least twenty-five others are carried by the aircraft carrier Takemikazuchi, including at least one reconnaissance model with a large radome in the place of the standard beam gun. After the sinking of the Takemikazuchi, at least six Murasames are among the Orb forces which board and join the crew of the battleship Archangel. Those Murasames, under the direction of ORB-01 Akatsuki pilot Cagalli Yula Athha, later launch in opposition to ZAFT's invasion of Orb, rallying defense forces which were previously in disarray to victory. Many Murasames also participate in the final battle of the war, a simultaneous assault against the lunar superweapon Requiem and ZAFT's space fortress Messiah.

Ok, locked and approved. You have to wait for a while till you can use the Akatsuki. I'll tell you when you're allowed to use it.
