The OF series proved to be quite powerful in its own right and promoted many advances in Bit Device technology. The series reached its pinnacle with the OF-5 Kaguya, with the creation of the ultimate Green Pod and, naturally, a new Force device for this model. With this last model, the series had reached the limit of technology available and the Space Corps had to divert funds elsewhere.

Description
[Elite Orbital Strike Unit]
The last model in the OF series. It can carry the top Bit Device, the Green Pod, but few were made due to high production costs. It may be named after Princess Kaguya of the “Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”; some say that the Green Pod’s shots resemble bamboo. However, this is little more than just speculation.
Requirements
Pilots must log 60 minutes with the previous OFX-4 Songoku to fly this craft.
