(1) Cima Fleet was a group of outcast even during the One Year War
and they were never treated well (ref. 0083 Drama CD). So Cima has
little love for Jion and that's very clear in her line: "If there's
a good enough reason, I'll betray!" Also, she has this obsession to
remain in Earth Sphere and she has NO intention to go to Axis which
she's supposed to after the completion of Op. Stardust.

(2) What Kou was taking was supply of oxygen and nutrient, rather
than drugs. There was a similar scene in Z Gundam. 

(3) Although the colony passed Critical Intercept Point (or Defense
Limit), Solar (Ray) System is good enough to destroy it with a shot.
Solar Ray System is what Giren used to blast away the half of Feddie
fleet and his own father in original Gundam. Time to review the
original Gundam. (^_^)

Gato and Nina were LOVERS when Gato stayed on the moon for a year,
right after the One Year War. Kelley was a best pal of Gato and it's
not surprising that Nina and Kelley knew each other. 

Anyway, Gato and Delaz were SO COOL!!!!

* The black guy => Vice Admiral Kowen: The man behind the Gundam
Project and the direct superior of Sinapus. He's one of very few
"good" general among Feddies. Alas, now he's a history.
* The guy who was pointing the gun at Kowen => Commodore Jamitov
Hyman: The founder of Titans. But he wasn't a biggie in 0083.
* The guy with a cat => Admiral and supreme commander of Federation
Space Force. He doesn't seem to be any better man than Jamitov.

Kowen was pleading to Admiral to give up "weird treachery" and fight
Delaz Fleet with the full force of Earth Orbital Fleet.
