 The Type 35 Mobile Anti-Aircraft Platform was created to shoot down enemy aircraft, fighters and high speed power armors to protect allied ground assets. In addition to this, it was made with the ability to provide direct fire to support power armor troops should it find itself unneeded for antiaircraft duties. The Type 35 Mobile Anti-Aircraft Platform was created to shoot down enemy aircraft, fighters and high speed power armors to protect allied ground assets.

-Like many vehicles and equipment pieces, the Yumihei was born out of necessity. After Star Army forces went on the offensive following the turning point that was [[:yamatai:battle_of_yamatai]], it was soon determined that ground forces could not always rely on their supporting fleet to maintain constant air superiority, or even space superiority. Enemy forces would often distract, harass or at the worst case, defeat the ships of the fleet, hampering or eliminating the reliability of anti-air protection. To remedy the lack of anti-air support, the testbed predecessor of the Type 35 MAAP, the Type 34 SPAAG, was hurriedly put into service to evaluate its performance.+Like many vehicles and equipment pieces, the Yumihei was born out of necessity.

 Due to the Type 34's success in field trials, further development was done between [[corp:origin:origin_industries]] and [[:yamatai:ketsurui_zaibatsu]], resulting in the Type 35 MAAP, or Jinsoku Yumihei. The vehicle used as many Star Army components and software as possible in its construction, and ended up entirely produced by Ketsurui Zaibatsu to ensure a steady logistical chain that would not be cut off. Due to the Type 34's success in field trials, further development was done between [[corp:origin:origin_industries]] and [[:yamatai:ketsurui_zaibatsu]], resulting in the Type 35 MAAP, or Jinsoku Yumihei.

 It is most useful during instances where orbital and air superiority are not guaranteed, such as active contest for a planet. During general use, the vehicles may typically follow or shadow friendly forces close by, or be stationed at key points rather than being used in an offensive role. As its interior is typically loaded with many cans and belts of ammunition, powered infantry seldom ride within the vehicle. Its primary focus is to shoot down enemy missiles and hostile aircraft which come within range using its four gauss autocannons, or six mini-missile launchers depending on configuration. Despite its dedicated focus, the vehicle may be used to support ground units with its direct fire - unlike other variants however, the gunner is more vulnerable due to being placed within the turret. It is most useful during instances where orbital and air superiority are not guaranteed, such as active contest for a planet.
