A mass-produced and easily accessible mobile suit from the Human Reform League, the Anf (Arabic for nose) is slow moving, and armed with a machine gun under its eye, likely an anti-personnel weapon, and an arm-mounted cannon similar to the Tieren's. Before the HRL retired it from their own military, the Anf was known as the MSJ-04 Fanton. The unit sees use in military groups around the world. From its design, the Anf appears to be outdated, yet widely in use, akin to the AK-47 assault rifle's status in real life.

Combat Characteristics

As with other HRL designed mobile weapons the Anf features numerous throwback designs, such as heavier armor and less advanced weapons compared to other mobile suits of its era. Like the more advanced Tieren the Anf is comparable to a bipedal tank in terms of speed and maneuverability.

The Anf's combat ability compared to the Fanton's is hard to determine. There are no known performance upgrades. The Anf does posses a more powerful anti-mobile suit smoothbore weapon, but on a similar note the Anf lacks the Fanton's shield and carbon spear, or any close-range weapon for that matter. The Anf's machine gun also gives it superior anti-personal combat ability, a useful trait for the war's the Anf would be used in after being sold.

The Anf has decent combat ability, but it is vastly inferior compared to even a first generation GN Drive powered mobile suit such as the 0 Gundam.

Armaments

200mm x 25 Caliber-length Smoothbore Cannon

The primary weapon of the Anf is a smoothbore cannon, similar to the one used on the Tieren, mounted on the left arm. It is the weapon of choice against armored vehicles and enemy mobile suits.

30mm Machine Gun

The secondary weapon is a 30mm machine gun mounted under the optical sensor, replacing the Fanton's original smoothbore gun. It is an anti-personal weapon capable of firing rounds with enough power to leave large holes in stone walls.

History

Beginning its life the the Human Reform League MSJ-04 Fanton, the MSER-Anf's original specifications and armaments have been modified and the mobile suit has been sold to numerous independent nations that do not posses their own mobile suit production program, many in the Middle East. This process of modification and selling off began as early as the year 2301, possibly earlier.

One country to purchase a large number of these mobile suits is Azadistan, which would then proceed to use them in a war against the Krugis Republic. In the war the Anf would be a devastating force, easily dealing with the armed workloaders and and soldiers that Krugis could field.

The Anf would continue to be used by countries such as Azadistan in the year 2307. During Azadistan's civil war a coup d'etat group would unsuccessfully attempt to use these mobile suits to attack and destroy the solar power receiving station being built by the UN but their attempt was thwarted by UN and Celestial Being forces.

Terrorist groups would also make use of this mobile suit, such as the group that attempted to attack a nuclear facility in the Taklamakan desert. This group was unknowingly being used by the three superpowers to lure Celestial Being into a trap.

By the year 2312 there are very few organizations that still use the Anf, since most of the world has joined the ESF. The most prominent group to still use the Anf is Katharon. Katharon's Anf's most distinguishing feature is its new bright blue paint scheme, and it features no other changes.
