The second ship of the Izumo class, which was created to travel between the resource satellite
Heliopolis,
and the
Orb
homeland. Only the Kusanagi's central module travels in and out of Earth's atmosphere, and once in orbit it docks with the other modules to form a full-sized warship. Created by
Morgenroete,
this ship is similar in design to the
Archangel,
with lower firepower but a far greater
mobile suit
carrying capacity. When the Orb Union falls to the
Earth Alliance,
the Kusanagi carries
Cagalli Yula Athha
and her comrades into space, and it goes on to become the mothership of Orb's remaining
M1 Astray
mobile suit forces.
