Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Murasame Reconnaissance Type is a variant of the MVF-M11C Murasame created specifically for reconnaissance missions. The only difference between the Murasame Reconnaissance Type and the standard unit is the replacement of the latter's tail stabilizer with a large radome. This grants the suit with enhanced sensor abilities, but it also resulted in a slight decrease in mobility. Weapons wise, the suit retains all the armaments of the standard unit, with the exception of the Type 72 high-energy beam cannon that is mounted in the tail stabilizer. As such, the Murasame Reconnaissance Type has no problem escaping from any enemy units that it encounters during its mission and bringing back the valuable intelligence it gathered.
History
After the First Alliance-PLANT War, Orb Union introduces a new mass production mobile suit, the Murasame. As with its predecessor, the MBF-M1 Astray, several variations of the standard suit are produced, with one of them being the Murasame Reconnaissance Type. This suit is visually largely identical to the standard suit with the exception of a large sensor radome on its back.
