- Why does Banage(?) want to keep the Unicorn away from the Vist foundation again? If he's the son of Cardeas Vist.
- Why is the Earth Federation actually decent again? I thought the only force they had to fight threats in space was Londo Bell?
- I thought Bright has sole authority on Ra Cailum at all times because Londo Bell is independent from EF forces?
- What is the sleeves goal? Is it just to protect the Zabi family lineage?
- Are the sleeves and the zeon remnants the same or are the sleeves just one group of zeon remnants?
Additional stuff for #2, It's not that the Federation is militarily weak, it the lack of political will to do anything after the events of Zeta. The issue of Federation involvement with the Titans and the AEUG (Both factions had Federation personnel working directly or indirectly on both sides) was a sensitive one that it did not place itself in an official stance regarding the both of them. The mood is best explained by these 3 comic pages:
Thus except during the events of Double Zeta, the Federation weren't making any solid stance on who's side it's on besides being against Zeon remnants (Due to the events of 0083, causing the formation of the Titans, and again in 0088 thus forming the Londo Bell).
#4 (Anyone, help me answer #4, I want to know more about Zeon's perspective on things).
