MVF-M12A Ootsukigata (Custom)

History
A variation of the standard Murasame produced by Orb, the Ootsukigata was designed for long-range support in battles. Both its frame and armament are nearly the same as the one used on the normal unit, which makes it easier to convert a Murasame into an Ootsukigata. The exact number of Ootsukigata units being produced is unknown.

These three units were present in the final battle against Messiah, where one of them engaged and destroyed a ZGMF-X3000Q Providence ZAKU.

Technology
Dedicated Targeting Sensor: The special feature is a dedicated targeting sensor, allowing the pilot to better aim over great distances when using the long-range weapon.

Cooling System: The cooling system which is mounted in place of the underside missile launchers and used to cool down the powerful long-range weapon more quickly after it was used.

Weapons Systems
The armament of the Ootsukigata is largely the same as the one used on the standard MVF-M11C Murasame, although it isn't equipped with the missile launchers. Instead its armament includes a high-energy long-range beam cannon. This allows it to serve in an artillery support role, while still retaining the close and mid-range capabilities of the Murasame.
