HG 1/144 HGGS Ginn Type High Maneuver

The GINN High Maneuver Type is a mobile suit introduced in the original design series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV.

A variant of the ZGMF-1017 GINN, the GINN High Maneuver Type was created to extend the lifespan of the GINN series and to fill the gap before deployment of the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ. It was also tuned for ace pilots. Due to the new backpack and the addition of vernier thrusters all over the body, the mobile suit has improved maneuverability, acceleration and traveling range in space. Its turning speed is also improved by 180% and to handle the increased stress, its joints are strengthened by 30%. The suit's developers placed a high priority on reliability and productivity, and as such only battle-proven technologies are used. A good example of this is that the new backpack utilize the MMI-M729 Thruster Engine that was widely used by battleships.

Ace pilots that received the GINN High Maneuver Type were very satisfied with its performance. Although only a limited number of the machine were produced by the time GuAIZ was deployed, the fact that it has the same operability as the GINN and shares many parts with it, making maintenance and repair work simple, caused it to be strongly supported by many soldiers and calls for it to be assigned to the front lines remain high. Weapons wise, the GINN High Maneuver Type is typically equipped with a JDP2-MMX22 experimental 27mm armor assault rifle, which mounts a MA-M3 heavy blade for close combat.
