Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at, just wasn't able to put it into
words. The GN does (so I've heard, and so I hope find out as soon as I can
find an English Ver of the GN) as make it clear, even more so, that there
weren't any specific baddies. From what I've been able to find out about
0080 is that (please correct me if I'm wrong) the Feddies ended up breaking
a treaty with the creation of the NT1, so the Zeon set out to destroy it,
etc...But once again, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd hate to be missing
out of a perfectly good OAV.
