Technical and Historical Notes

The Earth Alliance's F-7D Spearhed VTOL fighter is a mass production unit deployed all across Earth as the Alliance's main terrestrial fighting unit. The Spearhead is armed with two 20mm machine guns and several anti-air missiles. These armaments make it vastly inferior to any of ZAFT's mobile weapons deployed on Earth. After the introduction of the mass production mobile suit GAT-01 Strike Dagger, the Spearhead continues to serve its same role in the air, but without the burden of being the only defense against ZAFT. One Spearhead unit is used by ace pilot Mu La Flaga to escape the Alliance's Alaska base and return to the Archangel during ZAFT's Operation Spit Break. Another is used by ace pilot Edward Harrelson, who earns the nickname "Ed the Ripper" for slicing enemy mobile suits in half with his wings.
