Ok don't kill me for this, but.....if you think about it, Lacus/Kira and Djibril (Logos)are among the first ones who broke the treaty in GSD. I believe the treaty signed at the end of the GS is that no side is allowed to use the Nuclear/Colloid technology. Freedom is the only nuclear-powered suit in GSD before the ZAFT's was rolled out while the Phantom Pain used the Girty Lue.
and when they lost the Freedom, Lacus was ready with possibly two full-hax MSes. Dullindal surely picked the wrong enemy
