| The ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom is a mobile suit which is mainly shown in the anime TV series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. First shown deployed in episode 39 (called PHASE 39 in the anime), it is piloted by one of the main characters of the series, Kira Yamato, as part of the Three Ships Alliance and Orb Union's 2nd Space Fleet. Despite its designs bears striking similarity to its predecessor, ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, this mobile suit can be easily distinguished by its golden joints and detachable wings.
Designed by Kunio Okawara, its design bears striking similarities to the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. Although, upon in-depth examination of both designs, there are various differences, particularly on the head and wing sections.Strike Freedom lacks its predecessor's wing-mounted beam cannons, replaced by multiple detachable remote armaments known as DRAGOONs (an acronym for Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network). It still retains the twin hip-mounted gun, though they are now capable of swiveling back in order to create space for mounting two rifles, which can be combined into a longer weapon. There is also an additional large high-powered cannon mounted on its abdomen. However, the most significant difference is probably the existence of golden colored joints in various parts of Strike Freedom.As many mobile suits in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Strike Freedom's features resemble famous systems from mobile suits of the other previous Gundam metaseries.The DRAGOONs are similar to funnels and bits of Universal Century's universe. The beam shields used were first seen on the Gundam F91, although chronologically in Universal Century universe, the Gundam F90 VSBR Type was the first UC Mobile Suit to use one. The visual effect of Strike Freedom wings is similar to the beam wings utilized by the Mobile Suit Victory Gundam's Victory 2 Gundam. There are many more similarities to other famous features of the other previous Gundam metaseries.Originally, the name of the mobile suit was planned to be "Super Freedom". Mitsuo Fukuda, the director of the Gundam Seed Destiny, named the "Super Asurada" to the succession machine of the "Asurada" in his previous work, Future GPX Cyber Formula. Therefore it was not considered unnatural when announced on the official website, the name of the mobile suit was planned to be "Super Freedom". However the name was changed to "Strike Freedom" in a short time after the announcement. Allegedly, this was because the name would remind Japanese people of Super Free, a Japanese notorious rape group, as was criticized at that time, by some blogs. | |

While the Earth Alliance plays a game of catch up with ZAFT on mobile suit development, it also designs a new type of battleship to complement their mobile suits. Developed in conjunction with Orb's Morgenroete company, the design of the Archangel class is based on that of Orb's Izumo class. In addition to carrying mobile suits, the Archangel features many new technologies not seen in other Alliance vessels. The Archangel is capable of atmospheric entry, thanks to an ablative gel that can be spread across the hull. The Archangel also features laminated armor, making it very difficult to seriously damage in battle. In terms of weaponry, the Archangel is a mobile fortress. Its main weapon is the dual "Lohengrin" positron blaster cannon housed in the 'legs' at the forward end of the ship. The Archangel's armament includes an array of other weapons, such as "Gottfried" beam cannons, "Valient" linear cannons, "Igelstellung" vulcan guns as well as missile launchers. The first of its line, the Archangel enters combat when Heliopolis is attacked by ZAFT on January 25, C.E. 71. As a result of ZAFT's surprise attack, the captain and most of the crew are killed, leaving only a few junior officers. Following the initial battle, Murrue Ramius takes command of the ship as the most senior surviving officer. With a crew made up of Alliance soldiers and Heliopolis volunteers, the Archangel departs the destroyed colony and heads for more friendly territory. After a disastrous orbital battle, the Archangel descends to Earth and unfortunately lands in ZAFT-controlled North Africa. After a long trek, the ship finally arrives at Alliance headquarters JOSH-A in Alaska. Unfortunately, the Alaska base is the target of ZAFT's Operation Spitbreak. With the crew separated, the damaged Archangel is forced into battle against overwhelming numbers. When Murrue learns that the Alliance plans to use her ship and others as a decoy to deploy their deadly Cyclops System, she violates orders by retreating from the battlefield. The Archangel then heads to Orb for repairs and joins its forces to fight an invasion by the Alliance.
After the fall of Orb, the Archangel heads to space and joins with the Orb battleship Kusanagi and the ZAFT ship Eternal to form the Three Ships Alliance, a faction independent of ZAFT and the Alliance that is dedicated to ending the war. In space, Archangel is pursued by the second Archangel class ship Dominion, captained by former Archangel second officer Natarle Badigiruel. In the last battle of the war on September 27 C.E. 71, the Archangel destroys the Dominion. After the war, the Archangel is hidden by Orb for two years and re-enters service as an independent vessel in late C.E. 73. On several occasions throughout the Second Earth/ZAFT war, the Archangel intervenes in battles between the Alliance, ZAFT and Orb. In C.E. 74, the Archangel is formally adopted as a ship of the Orb Union's space fleet. At the end of the war, the Archangel engages in a ship-to-ship duel with the ZAFT battleship Minerva and inflicts heavy damage upon it. Miscellaneous Information
