The GINN Assault Type is a Mobile Suit introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The GINN Assault Type is a standard ZGMF-1017 GINN equipped with "Assault Shroud" Armor (hence the "AS" acronym in the model code), which greatly increased the mobile suit's overall performance. This set of armor is designed mainly to protect the front of the GINN from attacks, it also has built-in weapons and additional thrusters to improve firepower, propulsion capabilities as well as mobility. Additional batteries are installed in the backpack armor to meet the additional energy needs and to improve operation time.

Armaments[]

  • Gatling Gun
A pair of Gatling guns are mounted on the suit's shoulders, they can function as both a long range weapon or as CIWS for intercepting missiles. These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire and can damage lightly armored units.
  • M68 "Pardus" 3-barrel Short-range Guided Missile Launcher
M68 "Pardus" short-range guided missile launcher is a "D-Type" assault weapon more often used in attacking base or fortress. They're mounted on the GINN's legs.
  • 2-tube Grenade Launcher
Mounted on the GINNs wrists, although the grenades are not very effective against large ships, they are ideal mid-range anti-mobile suit weapons.
  • Chest Grenade
A pair of grenades are hidden within the additional chest armor, one on each side of the chest. To fire the grenades, the additional armor has to flip open.
  • Custom Handgun
A composite weapon used by mobile suits piloted by professional MS pilot, Kaite Madigan. It is a customized handgun that can switch between firing beams or solid rounds by rotating the barrel, and is equipped with a "Armor Schneider" knife blade at the bottom for close combat.
  • MA-M3 Heavy Blade
The MA-M3 heavy blade is a sword and the standard close range armament of the GINN series of mobile suits. It is manufactured using molecular processing technology and has an appearance similar to an European broadsword, featuring a double-edged blade. The design of the blade relies on both its weight and the force of the attack to crush armor as much as it relies on its keenness to cut. When not in use, the blade is typically mounted on the left side of the waist.
  • JDP2-MMX22 Experimental 27mm Armor-Piercing Assault Rifle
Used by the GINN Assault Type in the manga Gundam SEED Re:, it is developed from the regular GINN's heavy assault rifle with added firepower and capacity. It has multiple modes of fire, one rapid-fire and the other a single-fire mode that has more power. The assault rifle is clip-fed and extra clips can be carried as spares.

History[]

The GINN Assault Type was developed during the First Alliance-PLANT War as one of ZAFT's plans to improve GINN's versatility. However, with the development of higher performance MS, such as ZGMF-515 CGUE, ZAFT dropped the plan. As such, only a limited set of armor was produced, making the GINN Assault Type a rare GINN variant. One unit belonged to professional MS pilot Kaite Madigan, who used it between the first and Second Alliance-PLANT War.[1][2] The GINN's Assault Shroud also inspired the one used by the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Re[]

In the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Re: manga, there are two units on board the Nazca-class ship, Vesallius, piloted by Miguel Aiman and Olor Kudenbru. Both GINN Assault Types were used in the Heliopolis mission to capture the G-Weapons, and were destroyed during the battle against the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam.
