* Where is United Earth's air force? We saw the F-22s in the second episode and then nothing after that. Some air support would go a long way to evening out the odds, considering that a lot of the Vers mechs don't have ranged weapons and their sky carriers are not properly equipped for aerial combat. Just a few attack helicopters could have put more pressure on the Argyre Kataphrakt, for instance.

** There may be some evidence from episodes 11 and 12 that not everyone in Castle Saazbaum is in on the conspiracy. First there's the fact that when Saazbaum assaulted the bunker, he took only only 2 carriers full of troops with orders to kill the princess, which is a rather SuspiciouslySmallArmy to attack such a huge building. Then the Martian soldier who saved Slaine from the Areion in episode 12 was surprisingly open-minded and considered Slaine a comrade despite him being a Terran. It's possible the only people on Castle Saazbaum who saw the princess's speech were in the command center, who we see are already 100% loyal to their lord, and that aside from a few platoons of troops, everyone else thinks this is just part of the war against Earth.
