I'd say Ezelcant's plan failed and with sneaking the pods onto Earth they only managed to avoid it being a complete disaster. But with a mysterious leader like Ezelcant anything that happens no matter how random can be considered part of the plan.

I don't know - from the dialogue, it seems very rare for colonists to even see Earth. That got me thinking - what if there was actually very little traffic between space and the motherland?
What bothers me is that I don't see how a few thousands people are going to be able to do. Even as sleeper cells, it'd take some help on the ground to slip them into good covers. And if they were able to get people on the ground before, then yeah - what would they need that big, costly battle for?

I hadn't thought about it, but yeah the Vagans really can't have ships dropping onto the Earth or anything. Can't use it as their Eden if it's destroyed.

They could. They'd just have to be patient. (Frankly, I think that'd be
my plan. Take control of the orbitals, and bomb Earth into the stone age. Or at least threaten to.)
