Oh yeah, heh heh. :-) Forgot how tangled all these character histories
are...

He was past his teens at that point - when the kids were spirited away in
UC 0069, Cassval was 10, Artesia was 7, and Ranba Ral was 25 and already a
uniformed military officer. If his crazy dad runs off to Earth at age, what,
around 50? then that's not quite a childhood abandonment issue. :-)
In original Gundam, Ral's main concern is working his way up the ladder;
he doesn't seem to give a damn about Garma, he just wants that sweet
promotion. He'd probably forgotten all about the Daikun kids until he runs
into Sayla.
Given that Ral was a working adult in 0069, he was probably perfectly
capable of running off to Earth with his dad if he'd really been that
concerned about it...
