The commander of the Mars branch Coral wanted to assassinate Kudelia to justify their presence via escalation. To secure funding and weapons. |

Perhaps Mars exports a rare resource used in mobile suit manufacturing. How knows? |

Sometimes the authors do put in a decent amount of thinking into the background and economics even if all the details are not clear from the show itself. I'm fully aware that Mobile Suits are a silly concept It's basically a "fantasy" story dressed up as sci-fi. |

Likely related to the Ahab Reactors, since they were mentioned to be important and was the cause of the Calamity War in the first place.
And Mars was mentioned to be a used up colony so whatever they are harnessing or protecting is likely important. This doesn't seem to be a normal economics colonization thing. Or rather if it is it's not done through the usual colony economics model. In regards to terraforming, I wouldn't be surprised if the pre-Calamity civilizations advanced enough that it was easier for them (though not too much, terraforming is a pretty big deal). The Calamity War certainly didn't erase everything and things weren't chaotic enough that it prevented four economic powers from securing it but it was chaotic enough to name a new calendar over so I wouldn't be surprised if there was still a significant regression even if Ahab Reactor technology survived/recovered to some level. It could be similar to Britannia in Code Geass where one of the public reasons they conquered Japan was because of their abundant supply of Sakuradite, which is needed to power the Yggdrasil Drives used to power their Knightmare Frames. This was more conventional colony economics though whereas in IBO it may be more related to some other strategic or political reasoning (not wanting the other non Earth factions get it for example). ======== On a side note, it would be pretty funny if terraforming of Mars was done by the AGE factions after the series was over (they already found a way to solve the rays problem) and that the current Pre-Disaster timeline human civilization just rediscovered it in a habitable state. It would be one way to use Dark History in a smart way.........and making it sound like a cool idea now that I think about it makes me almost certain that's not exactly what happened.

Different thing would be if leader of radical faction appeared and made name for himself, but in that case "her existence" wouldn't play any role in it. She is not actual leader, because movement by definition is not organised, that's why people listen those who are seen most.

2 episodes in, and I LOVE the band of brothers relationship going on between the Third Group
boys. Orga was badass in the way he took all of the beating to protect his men. That's a leader I can get behind! Can't wait for the next episode! |

And Orga is badass. Those packs sure help that's assessment. I have a strange unfortunate feeling that he'll be killed though. Probably not anytime soon but eventually. If this does ever happen, I hope it would be an awesome inspirational death.
