ZGMF-1017 Works GINN

The Works GINN is a Mobile Suit in the manga series Gundam SEED Astray.

Combat Abilities
Due to the fact, that the Works GINN is designed for working and not fighting, it doesn't feature any fixed weaponry. However it can use weapons if needed as seen when one pilot used a linear gun.

System Features
Since the suit is mainly used for maintance works, salvaging or construction, equipment helpful at such work is mounted on the suit. This includes a towing winch in the croth area of the suit as well as a three-fingered fine manipulator hand in place of the usual five-fingered hand. Lastly, the suit features two wing binders mounted on the back of the suit, each mounting two maneuvering thrusters for increased flight stability when working in space.

History
The ZGMF-1017 GINN was the first mass produced mobile suit created by ZAFT to be used in the Bloody Valentine War. Over time, a large number of variants of the standard model are created to be used in different terrains and situations. Although most of them are combat models, there are some which are used for non-combat roles. The Works GINN is one such unit, as it was created mainly for working duties.

Due to its non-combat role, the Works GINN is favored among peaceful groups, especially the Junk Guild. One known Works GINN is pilotes by Guild member Liam Garfield, who uses his suit for salvaging or working operations. Although he tries to not enter combat, Liam is forced to use his Works GINN in battle, when he and his comrades decided to protect the neutral colony Litilia, on which his brother lived. The colony decided to leave the Earth Sphere for Jupiter but to prevent this from happening, the Earth Alliance attacked it. Liam thus picked up a linear gun and fought against the attackers.

With the introduction of the more advanced MWF-JG71 Raysta and the MWF-JG73 Civilian Astray JG Custom, the Works GINN however starts to lose its usefulness for the Junk Guild.
