How is it a spoiler? I did not even read the novel, its based on what I gather in this forum and the anime. In addition, I don't see how my post revealed the content of the box.
Spoiler for Laplace:
As for White Base, probably because it wasn't an official crew, it was mainly manned by mostly civilians at the beginning (spacenoids) so they probably didn't care to save them. Even so, I'm surprised the Feddies allowed them to use it, I guess mainly to collect data for future MS production after they fended off Char. As for Bright Noa, a very good captain but again treated like trash from the Feddies. Spoiler for Hathaway's Flash:

Decline as in a gradual decline, not a terminal decline. Abandoning the Torrington base is also logistically reasonable given that Federation doesn't exactly need the base anymore. The experimental Byalant might have been stationed there in case of emergencies, or perhaps they didn't want to attach too much attention to their major bases.
That said, Zeon doesn't exactly need to defeat the Federation. By the late UC era the space colonies were more or less independent, as a result of the Feddies' decline. |

Considering the state of the planet and the state of the government(s) cells like those found here might very last several more decades in the UC universe.
I mean, Hiroo Onoda held out in the Philippines anf Teruo Nakamura in Indonesia until 1974. Almost 30 years after WWII.

As above, given the scale of devastation wrought in the OYW and the subequent First Neo-Zeon War (including a colony drop), the EF's politicial and military intrastructure even on Earth is probably badly damaged. Not only are they presented as a inefficient and ineffective government, their budget is badly strained by reconstruction, the creation and subequent loss of the Titans and likely a large amount of corruption. Although they have de jure control of Earth, it is likely their actual influence is limited to major popultion centers and several military bases. The world is too big for the Federation to cover, hence the mobile suit museum at Torrington - they have use MS they possibly have to garrison their bases. They have task forces like Londo Bell for when they need things done but that's probablty all tied up in politics too. That's why small-medium size remnants can run around without too much trouble.

Man Riddhe has really changed, he had dead eyes when he killed Loni. Man I have a feeling this show is going to get (more) depressing.
btw whats up with the release of Vol. 2 of the OST, this was award winning stuff in the episode.

getting dumped by Audrey, learning the truth about his family... that drew him to the end of the line. even hating Banagher for no particular reason. don't worry, episode 5 will push him off the edge when..

ever wonder why Kira is so whiny and Athrun is so persistent in his beliefs in the first parts of Seed? Civilians and Soldiers have different perspectives after all. |

Riddhe is a spoiled brat, he goes AWOL because he felt like it, he ran away from home because he wanted to be a pilot, to put it short he is just a spoiled brat, nothing more. Hell, Bright mind-slapped him and basically told him to get off his high horse Riddhe being in the military didn't change him, as shown by his little speech to bright about how he should not be given special treatment. Kira and Athrun isn't really a good comparsion, since Athrun spent most of the show doubting what was right and what was not because of Kira, while Kira simply fought to protect his friends on the archangel in seed, if anything, Kira had a more dedicated path than Athrun did in Seed |
