ZGMF-1017 GINN Ceremonial Decoration Type

The GINN Ceremonial Decoration Type is a Mobile Suit in the series Gundam SEED Destiny.

Combat Abilities
Since this GINN variant is only used for military ceremonies, it isn't designed for combat which is also reflected in its armament. If piloted by a commander, the suit carries an elegant saber on its left hip, similar to the sabers on older personal gala uniforms. On the other hand, if piloted by an ordinary soldier, the GINN CDT is equipped with a 76mm heavy assault machine gun. Lastly the suit can also carry a rifle.

History
The GINN Ceremonial Decoration Type is one of the many variants of the standard ZGMF-1017 GINN which ZAFT created. This suit however is one of the few models which isn't designed for combat but for formal military ceremonies. Because of this, their outward appearance is similar to old military uniforms, complete with a grey and gold color scheme. There are no incidents known at which a GINN Ceremonial Decoration Type was used in combat, but in CE 73 the unit is still in active service with some of these suits being used to welcome PLANT Supreme Council chairman Gilbert Durandal on the colony Armory One.
