ZGMF-1017 GINN

From Free net encyclopedia

This article is about a fictional weapon from the Cosmic Era of the anime Gundam metaseries.

The ZGMF-1017 GINN is the standard mobile suit of the Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty (ZAFT) from November CE 69 to September CE 71. The GINN is designated a Zero Gravity Maneuver Fighter by ZAFT, thus the designation "ZGMF." It is derived from the YMF-01B Proto GINN, the first mobile suit to be built by ZAFT. Many Proto GINNs are redesignated as ZGMT-01 GINN Trainers, and all ZAFT mobile suit pilots are initially trained on this machine.

The GINN is a durable, basic mobile suit which is analogous to the MS-06 Zaku II in the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It has two large, thruster-filled "wings" on its back and carries basic, dependable weapons - a 76mm machine gun and a 10-meter-long sword form its primary armament. The GINN can also be equipped with a three-round missile launcher on each leg and "D-Class" assault weapons consisting of heavy arm-mounted missile launchers, a recoiless cannon and anti-ship beam guns. The versatile GINN has several variants, some of which (high-maneuver, desert, marine, tactical air reconnaissance and long-range space recon variants) are seen in the TV footage. The GINN is even used by nonaligned factions, especially mercenaries and pirates. The GINN was manufactured in such high quantities from 69-71 that units will be in common use for many years to come. The GINN's powerful thrusters can only keep it airborne for a short time under gravity, so it uses the Guul subflight lifter to fly in an atmosphere. Late in the Bloody Valentine War, GINN pilots found their heavier, sturdily armored mobile suits much clumsier than the lightweight GAT-01 Strike Daggers of the Earth Alliance and MBF-M1 M1 Astrays of the Orb Union, and highly vulnerable to beam weapons; fortunately for ZAFT, by this time the beam-equipped, faster ZGMF-600 GuAIZ was in full production.

GINN types remain in common use late into CE 73, including the new, more powerful GINN High Maneuver II, which seems to have been designed as an alternative to the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ. However, the expense of the HM2 limits its use to a few elite pilots and units. The faction of ZAFT that decides to carry out Chairman Zala's mad plans of genocide by dropping Junius 7 on Earth uses GINN HM2s as their main MS.
