Spoiler for spoiler:

Plus the Khronos has a claw on the left arm. Looks better armed than its sister unit Zeydra (until we see both in action).

Yeah, I was thinking the Khronos was the Baqto's successor, but it seems to be relatively more powerful. Plus, its design is closer to the Zeydra, rather than the Dorado. By comparison, the Baqto was more similar to the Gafran than the Zedas. Still, looking really badass. My favourite UE suit by far.

Isn't the asteroid belt even farther away from Earth than Mars?

The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter and extend roughly between 2.06 and 3.27 AU, Mars is ~1.5 AU and Earth is 1 AU.

1 AU (or Astronomical Unit) is the distance between Earth and the Sun, so at best, the distance between Mars and the asteroid belt is roughly the same as the one between Earth and Mars.

If all of the Veigan production facilities are on Mars, it would explain Geera's comments to Desil that the machines are hard to acquire. But that said, we don't know how long it takes for space travel in Gundam AGE--they various franchises aren't very consistent with each other on that aspect (I remember someone complaining that the Archangel was "too fast" because it was reaching Earth from Heliopolis faster than the UC spaceships), and we don't know how fast a ship like the Fa Bose can move through space--we can see it can go invisible and even phase through solid matter, so what's not to say it has some quasi-hyperdrive as well?

Yeah, i thought the Phasing was just some kind of cloak, but looking at episode 13 it did phase out of Ambat.

Speaking of Ambat, what happened to that big hole the Diva punched through it?

[Rising Dragon]

Well by now, I imagine it was blown to pieces as well. But thus far, the fortress didn't seem to have much in the way of occupants--likely just military personnel, all of which was out in the battle against the Diva forces. Or the main population was stored on the Fa Bose.

Maybe they just Trans-Am themselves around like 00 does. lol

Decil being the biproduct of Ali/Nena, GN particle teleporting?!

Age comfirmed for 00 sequel.

Ah, I was focusing on PzIVf3's question of how the Veigans could get their supplies when Mars is so far away that your reply didn't seem like it answers the question, but instead only increases the problem.

But you're right, we don't know how fast their ships can travel and also it would actually explain why Yark Dole (I'm not comfortable using his other name) would be worried about wasting resources.

They already have the Union and HRL uniforms on it, we saw it very early on. lol And some people compare the complete disarmaments of the 00 ESF by 2364 and the AGE EF prior to the UE attack since both organizations had internal peace within itself. But I guess it's just a coincidence.

But I guess I was referring to Trans-Aming for acceleration (and likely deceleration) like the ships in Gundam 00 do to travel interplanet distances relatively short rather than 00 Raiser's teleporting I guess. I won't be surprised if the UE's ship have developed some sort of traveling mechanism of some sort, since they did still waged war on the EF for the duration of the timeskip even after their main base appear to be destroyed. There could always have more I guess.

The story must be played out between the 50 years Setsuna chilled somewhere else.

so THIS is the " Innov(eig)a(n)tor war "

Sweet, glad we cleared that up Sonic!

anyways, back to topic:

We don't know how many Veigan's escaped from Ambat, seeing how Bluehaired-Link managed to get away (i assume) they might be doing hit and run attacks on EF colonies until their reinforcements from Mars arrives

[SonicSP]

I do hope its more of a full scale war this time around though, if not at least by the time Asem is running around.

I'm expecting gravity-exclusive support vehicles, more ship classes and even colony-size weapons to battle the Vegans.

Madorna's Shaldoll with Mega Launcher

Spoiler for One time cameo MS:

[casval cehack]

Great, the official name for that thing is Mega Launcher. I hope we'll see it later in Asem's chapter, preferably beneath the Age-2 Strider.

Sidenote, they had these designs in July?

[bio9205]

Please Bandai do a kit of Madorna's Shaldoll! That weapon is badass!

They probably had all the designs done before the anime even started airing. It does take awhile afterall.

Don't ask Bandai for things. They don't care.

[casval cehack]

Double Bullet leg launchers. Would make sense in a transformed AGE-2 and the small size means that Double Bullet can carry a lot of missiles.
