ZGMF-LRR704B GINN Long Range Reconnaissance Type

The GINN Long Range Reconnaissance Type is a Mobile Suit from the Cosmic Era timeline.

Combat and Technological Informations
Since it is designed mainly for reconnaissance missions, this GINN variant is equipped with at least two radomes on its body, one at each shoulder area.

Weapons wise, the suit only carries a single sniper rifle, which, thanks to its additional sensor equipment, can shoot accurately over long distances.

History
During the Bloody Valentine War, ZAFT creates several variants of its mainstay unit, the ZGMF-1017 GINN, to cope with different situations. One such variant is the GINN Long Range Reconnaissance Type, which is used for search and recon missions in space. It is thus a sister unit of the ZGMF/TAR-X1 GINN Tactical Air Reconnaissance Type, which is used for the same missions, although inside Earth's atmosphere.

One such GINN unit was used by a pilot belonging to the Yun Law team in early February, CE 71, to search for the civilian shuttle Silverwind, which carried Lacus Clyne. The shuttle was preparing a memorial service at the remnants of the destroyed colony Junius Seven but was destroyed by an Earth Alliance battleship. However at the same time the GINN was there, the crew of the Archangel was searching the ruins of Junius Seven for valuable equipment. The GINN eventually spotted one of the MAW-01 Mistral units of the Archangel and nearly destroyed it, but was itself eventually destroyed by Kira Yamato in the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike.

The GINN recon type was still in service in CE 73, with one such unit scanning the area around PLANT during an Earth Alliance attack on it. This GINN eventually discovered the secret strike force which planned to annihilate Aprilius One with a nuclear attack.
