The Murasame (CAS-707) (むらさめ, Murasame), was a Murasame-class Space Cruiser serving the United Nations Cosmo Navy. By 2191, captain Daigo Shima commandeered the ship. Susumu Yamazaki was the only survivor of the cruiser's last battle, when the Murasame was destroyed during first contact with the Greater Garmillan Empire.
History[]
Garmillas-Earth first contact[]
In the year 2191, the ship was under command of captain Daigo Shima, during that year Garmillas Warships entered the Solar System.
In what was to be humanity's first contact with life from beyond Earth the ship sortied with the UNCN Japanese Fleet, to meet with the alien visitors. Events took an unexpected turn when the ship unexpectedly became the flagship of the fleet after Admiral Juzo Okita refused to fire on the Garmillas warships as was the order given. The ship captain reluctantly opened fire, the first salvo of the Great Garmillas War. The rounds from the Murasame had no effect on the Garmillas ships, the Garmillas weaponry however was devastating resulting the Murasame's sinking along with the loss of the a significant amount of UNCF warships, the vessel only had one survivor, Susumu Yamazaki. In the years since first contact the Murasame's crew became martyrs as the first victims of Garmillas, the propaganda department issued the sole survivor Yamazaki a gag order on the events of first contact hiding the fact that the crew was ordered to attack.[1]
Legacy[]
The truth would come to light aboard the Yamato during the voyage to Iscandar when the Yamazaki told the ship's helmsman Daisuke Shima, about the events of first contact as a result of Merda Ditz telling the crew that Humans fired first.[1]
