Technical and Historical Data:
The development of the MCU-050E GINN Early Type would precede the eventual deployment of a more standardized and general purpose model, the MCU-060 GINN. The entire GINN design receives a very noticeable cosmetic redesign and features not only better armor for protection against ballistic equipment but aerodynamics for a reduced silhouette. However, as the design removes the built it thruster section on the back, the engines are redesigned to be a backpack system which can of course be removed in case of use in ground type environments like Earths surface or on Colonies. With an increase in overall height and even maximum carry weight, the engines are more powerful to make up for the dramatic change. The backpack also features a pair of magnetic propulsors, a special system designed to keep the machine in motion even when the propellant is used up. An upgrade to avionics also increases the detection range of the sensors with better equipment and a large antenna on the head which also functions as a cosmetic head piece. Of that note a separate ceremonial version of the GINN is also produced.
Because of the increase in armor protection, the GINN discards the integrated shield of the Early Type in order to field more specialized gear for use in any situation. The primary GINN loadout consists of a 76mm Machine Gun which is fully automatic as standard but can switch to a 3 round burst mode for increased ammo control. The machine gun is usually paired with a Heavy Sword for melee engagements with of mobile suits. When assaulting fleets and enemy base locations, the GINN can field some very heavy weapons from the 500mm Recoiless Rifle, a bazooka type weapon which has higher accuracy compared to those used by the AR-44 GM and AR-45 Nemo. For more anti-ship engagements, GINNs will usually be equipped with a pair of Guided Missile Launchers each with two Large Missiles on the main rack and a pair of small missiles within the inner launcher. Later in December, the GINN receives an Assault Option pack consisting of an ejectable Armored Jacket, a pair of Gatling Guns and a set of grenade launchers which have begun to be used for heavy attacks and homeland defense.
