User:Ron the True Fan/CDF-X01A Proto-Dart

The CDF-X01A Proto-Dart is a prototype Colonial Mobile Suit created during the flight from the Colonies. As the suit was based off of the MVF-11F Murasame and the GAT-04 Windam, it is a capable MS, and has been developed into many models, including the mass-production CDF-01A Dart.

Origins
The Colonial Fleet had been introduced to the power of Mobile Suits, and thus sought to create their own. As most of the pilots were used to fighters like the Viper, the Murasame was chosen as basis of the new MS. However, the Windam's multirole Striker Packs interested the Fleet, and thus the Strike Rouge was given to them for testing. As it was a prototype, the frame was much stronger then the normal ones, allowing for usage of customStrike Packs, such as the Freedom Striker.
