The ZGMF-1017 Works GINN is a variant of the ZGMF-1017 GINN introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Created by the Junk Guild from discarded ZGMF-1017 GINN, the Works GINN's design emphasized its abilities as a work-use machine. There is no standardized design for Works GINN, although the mobile suit is often seen with a miniaturized backpack, a winch on the crotch, a different manipulator on the left arm, etc. At least one Works GINN seen working on Gigafloat platform has its legs replaced by tank treads. Although the Works GINN was not designed for fighting, it could use handheld weapons such as the linear gun when needed.

History[]
The ZGMF-1017 GINN was the first mass-produced mobile suit created by ZAFT to be used in the First Alliance-PLANT War. Over time, a large number of variants of the standard model were created to be used in different situations. Although most of them were combat models, there were some which were used for non-combat roles. The Works GINN was one such unit, meant for work purposes. Created by the Junk Guild, the Works GINN was popular among civilians.
One known Works GINN was piloted by Junk Guild member Liam Garfield. Although he tried to stay out of combat, Liam was forced to use his Works GINN in battle when he and his comrades decided to protect the neutral colony Liteiria, 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.[1] With the introduction of the more advanced MWF-JG71 Raysta and later the MWF-JG73 Civilian Astray JG Custom, the Junk Guild began to phase out their Works GINNs.
