What was the real goal of Op Stardust? Why did Gato aim the colony at a granary instead of Jaburo? Wouldn't destroying Fed HQ serve as a more meaningful rally for the revival of Zeon?
Was it all just an elaborate preconceived false flag by the Feddies to trick Zeon Remnant into giving them more legitimate agency over the colonies, thus the rise of the Titans?
the colony drop was SUPPOSED to hit somewhere far more important, but because of all the shit that happened, the colony was knocked off course and fell into a place noone gives a shit about.
The Zeeks planned to drop the colony on a more important location, probably Jaburo
The feds planned to shoot down the colony in orbit but they didnt count on the neue ziel damaging the SS2
It was all a plan by Jamitov to bait the zeeks into dropping the colony and destroying the feddie fleet so he could create the TITANS

>Why did Gato aim the colony at a granary instead of Jaburo?
Because damaging their ability to grow food is arguably more important than just destroying their headquarters. They can just move if Jaburo gets it, which they do in Zeta.

It was almost entirely this. The Feds found out about it early on but decided to let it happen for the reason stated. Imagine Pearl Harbor, or 9/11.
Origin mentions something about Jaburo being able to withstand a colony drop, but TITANS is the answer why really.
