This one act would have changed everything for the better as the martians would have been split into factions, those that support the royality, those that support saazalbum, and those that would be neutral. This would both have lessened earth casualities and allowed slaine to see which martians could be trusted. Slaine should know from living amongst them that the martians greatest weaknesses is that they do not work together and that they are extremely arrogant. Slaine wasnt the actual leader remeber the only reason the others was because everything was already in motion by saazalbum. Preschooler know the divide and conquer rule while not the most amazing plan but it is a good plan.

(Slaine truly believed that Asseylum would be a just ruler, and with the resources of Earth, the common people would not have to turn on the monarchy.) U are forgetting that she would still on earth light years from mars. The nobility would not sit still while she disolved there power and domination. The nobility would manipulate the commoners and treat them worse, and the nobility would say it was asseylum fault. the martian commoners would believe and since the princess is on earth she wouldnt be able to defend herself. And the citizens of earth would take kindly to being treated like second class citizens and ruled over so they would also want to kill her. Yes her throne would basically be a throne of powderkeg and he would handing her a lit candle as a sceptre. The boom would follow soon. Slaine probably had more knowledge I mean seriously he was serving as vassal to a knight. And just in real life people in such lowly positions hear a lot of information because the big boss guys don't pay them any mind.

(The only chance the UFE would have is to try to send a message to the Vers Homeworld, but those transmissions would have to go through the Lunar Base.) As with this statement you understand that asseylum good intentions never would have reached the martian commoner populace but the transmisson would have made it to the other knights splitting their forces. It was only natural for Slaine to help Sauzbaam because the Princess was nowhere in sight; it was Inaho fighting Saazbaum in mechs. Slaine had a tough choice to make: save Sauzbaum, the man who saved his life, or save Inaho, the guy who shot Slaine down and made implications that he would exploit the princess. So he chose the former and he later regrets it when Saazbaum shoots the princess. As to your point about splitting the martians; it would only work if Asseylum could speak with a loyal knight. As it stood, however, even they don't know who was loyal and who wasn't. There was also the fact that they needed to go to the UFE headquarters in order to send a broadcast, since most of Earth's communications systems were destroyed during the invasion. While Asseylum tried to contact the Orbital Knights and Vers, the Lunar Base was intercepting all of this information and preventing it from being broadcast. Sauzbaam is a very powerful and influential man, and as long as he was in control of the Lunar Base, no message is going to through to any of the other Orbital Knights. This would also include Vers.
