Technical and Historical Notes

With the outbreak of war, ZAFT begins a full-scale invasion of Earth. To meet the needs required by certain environments, ZAFT creates many variants of their standard mobile suit ZGMF-1017 GINN. One such variation is the TMF/S-3 GINN OCHER (Operation Commando Hard Environment Reinforced) Type. This particular variant is specifically designed for use in harsh desert environments and features parts designed to keep it from overheating or being clogged with sand. The OCHER Type's armament consists of a machine gun, rifle, heavy axe and a trio of smoke dispensers. The OCHER Type is used by Andrew Waltfeld's forces in Africa as support units as well as for patrolling and defending occupied territories, such as the city of Banadiya.
