The VoLPHAU was ZAFT’s multipurpose large transport plane. In the Bloody Valentine War, VoLPHAUs were used to transport mobile suits and supplies across the Earth from ZAFT bases to the front lines on the battlefield. In late C.E. 73, VoLPHAUs were deployed across the Earth once more, but this time it was to provide emergency assistance to areas devastated by the Junius Seven colony drop.
