Technical
and Historical Notes
Although most mobile suits are used in combat, some are designated for civilian use. In C.E. 71, former Astray project technician Yoon Sefan designs a civilian use mobile suit, the MWF-JG71 Raysta. In addition to the standard Raysta, Yoon also designs a custom Raysta for herself. At first, the Raysta is exclusively manufactured by the Junk Guild for their use, but it is later rented out to civilians. However, the rental comes with the condition that the Raysta unit not be outfitted with weapons or used in combat. Soon after the war, photojournalist Jess Rabble rents a Raysta to investigate GENESIS Alpha, recently captured by the Junk Guild. In C.E. 73, the Junk Guild equips its Raystas with beam rifles and bazookas to defend GENESIS Alpha from an Earth Alliance attack.
