>>23333111you know, on that point it's really strange they went out of their way to not select the one structurally complete and 100% undamaged yet sparsely populated, easily evacuated, totally isolated colony cylinder from an Island that hadn't really formed yet other than that one cylinder, which also happened to eventually contain the Earth Federation's nascent Mobile Suit program, and also that the drop happened to completely miss Jaburo and instead craters Australia, which totally coincidentally implicilty hated the Federation so much already that they not only forgive the zeeks for doing it but turn into hardcore collaborateurs long into the postwar after just a hair of relief effort made
not only do I think they had advance warning, I think the Colony Drop was a tainted inside job by feddy collaborators. You'll look inside the Space Attack Forces' colony remote steerage team and find a funny goggled man named Ask Bom with a nebulous history of EF intelligence service sitting in seat 9:11 of his group- definitely unrelated to later Titans brass Bask Om- historically noted for screaming "WANNA SEE HOW HARD I CAN SWERVE THIS BITCH" moments before the catastrophic mid-reentry fragmentation turns a dissident bogan Sydney into an inland sea
