As the title says, the story sets in UC 0083. The Federation has developed two new Gundam suits, but on of these is stolen by the Delaz Fleet, which naturally consists of Zeon soldiers. A new ship starts to chase them with the other Gundam on board.

Well, the overall goal of 0083 was simply to establish the creation of the Titans for Zeta Gundam and they accomplished that by giving the Federation a huge reason to "need" such a group; if such a small remant group could pull off such a HUGE operation right under the noses of the Federation (most of it anyway) and STILL pull it off even with help from the inside (Cima), then what else could other remnants be capable of?
After all, there are still chunks of Zeon remnants hiding out from the OYW, just waiting for their chance to strike back at the Federation and after seeing what a group like the Delaz Fleet could do all by themselves, it'd only give them a HUGE morale boost and hope in order to push them to try similar or possibly worse acts off, so the Federation sought to nip them in the bud before they could even attempt them while also suppressing any other possible "spacenoid uprisings". This leads to the Colony 30 incident which leads to the creation of the AEUG, which leads to the events of Zeta Gundam. This then helps lead into ZZ Gundam and Char's Counterattack given Axis/Neo Zeon soldiers are comprised quite a bit of former OYW Zeon soldiers as well as new recruits that believe in their cause and whatnot and this even further extends into the (officially non-canon unless animations are made) events of the Mars Zeon/Oldsmobile Army uprising during the Gundam F90 manga and the Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Wars 0122 section.

Not always...just look at the Operation British colony drop and the following colony drop on Dublin in ZZ. (Which the Argama crew were able to enter the area and fight in barely after the initial hit and shock.)
It's not like the colony created some x10000000000000 nuclear explosion, despite visuals. Same thing with Char dropping asteroids. (The big reason why it looked so destructive was it being basically a GIANT flaming molten rock.) It's probably more like if you drop a big ball onto sand or water, it obviously creates a big ripple and that greatly disturbs the area around it, but it ends up settling eventually. Where it hits and what sort of buildings are in the area and such could play a part too.

It wasn't quite sucessful. It didn't hit Jaburo as intended; it hit the American midwest - a pretty big place. Stardust Memory started out by reminding us what happened in Operation British after all - a big lake where Sydeney used to be. The remaining Australians must be pretty bloody miserable after that.

Even if they hit Jaburo, that's only its primary HQ, but that still leaves A LOT of other major bases all over the world that the Federation could easily convert into their new HQ as well. It wouldn't exactly cripple the Federation's standing at all. Hell, the attack on the Naval Review still would've hurt them more than Jaburo getting hit, given it wiped out/disabled at least 2/3 of their ENTIRE battleship fleet. This would also mean that Jaburo would've been pretty empty overall, thus even less damage to the Federation as a whole.

Also keep in mind that we didn't know the true effect a large object would have on the Earth 30 years ago. I think an asteroid would be more cataclysmic than a colony though because its one big piece.
And as for Char's Counterattack, Spoiler for Char's Counterattack:

BTW a nuclear winter doesn't require anything nuclear: it is caused when a large amount of particles and/or sulfur are propelled in the atmosphere, obscuring the sunlight as long as they remain in the atmosphere (which can last quite long). Nuclear holocaust was the prime hypothesis, and the one that gave it it's name: but it in fact it would require A LOT of nuclear explosions, and ground explosions, because airborne explosions don't generate a lot of dust. More natural causes, involved in the many mass extinctions that occured during the history of life, include asteroid impact (remember this one that fell in the Yucatan at the end of the Cretaceous?), and large volcanic eruptions (actually a much more potent extinction factor). Spoiler for CCA:
Also, massive colony drop causing a nuclear winter is the premise of After War Gundam X.

Now I'm an accountant not a science type, but I figure since we that in the series a space colony is mostly hollow inside with lots of open spaces it is mostly air, making the impact less devastating than a rock of the same size. Axis, on the other hand...
Spoiler for For Destiny and Stargazer:

Stardust Memory is my second favorite Gundam series, behind Zeta. You will find many varying opinions in the Gundam fanbase about 0080 and 0083. Some like one, some like the other. Personally, 0080 is my least favorite Gundam series, but I still enjoyed it. Stardust Memory just seemed to 'click' with me.
I also didn't hate Nina. She wasn't exactly my favorite character, but I sure didn't hate her. |

I'd say the best thing in this entire show was 2 things
1.) The winner - the first op...classic 80's song as you can get...awesome 2.) When Gato blasted off in the dropship in africa, the scene with the Zeonic last stand was great the nina thing though was totally retarded....made absolutely 0 sense. I liked the gundam designs, but this was a rather weaker gundam U.C. offshoot |

0083 is my second favorite after 00. The show was great, though i felt some episodes mid season slowed it down.The last 3 episodes were superb. Delaz's death, Anavel fighting in his new suit, his duel with Kou, and the Delaz fleet's last stand were some of my favorite moments from the show.
