With phase one of the plan already under way and phase 3 in its last details, phase 2 was implemented. This phase had several setbacks due to the nature of the resources needed to carry it out.
It would require the use of their best card up theirs sleeve and in case the mission failed, they could be in serious trouble. Not only does risk their best kept secret, but one of the best technological advances. But it was determined that the reward is too good to wait for another chance.
They would need their most advanced Mobile Suit and the best Gundam Meisters available. This is another reason for the plan to be almost canceled, as these pilots are not only the best in latest generation, but are part of the few innovators in existence. A group of six would be required to complete phase 2 and 3.
The innovators are the elite of the Terran Union, since in addition to being the best pilots; they are also the only ones able to realize the quantic teleportation to other systems. That is why failure would affect the Union's ability to respond.
The rest of the Innovators available require a union of at least 4 to make a jump to another system and this is limited, since they can only do so in a transport ship of less than 100 meters long. And they also require a rest period before jumping again. The chosen pilots can do it individually back and forth in a day.
With the decision already made, the plan is implemented. Berum Astige was chosen to make the first leap to the Lemuria system and reunite with Casta Perrine. From there he would jump to the Atlantis system with the Twins Era and Mese Silencia. From there they will jump alternately until they reach Avalon and meet Rivival Amuro. They will await the arrival of Poison Detox to proceed to the penultimate part of phase 2.
They will wait for the necessary three months while their Mobile Suites and Mobil Armor prepare and take advantage to receive the corresponding instructions. Their appearance will be modified to resemble the natives and go unnoticed. The conversation records of all the subjects were collated and the linguistic templates that they used for the infiltration were created. His fictional stories were generated and learned to perfection.
It only remains to wait for the fleet to reach the Cyranus system and phase 3 is ready to proceed.
Well here is the answer from VEDA. The Union does have Quantum Leap FTL, but it is very limited. In this story VEDA does not have all the information of whatSetsunadid in the movie. Besides that in the theory of this history the quantum leap depends on the mental connection of the individual with the zone of arrival.
They need to have enough living beings residing in the place where they want to arrive. In the film Setsuna contacted with the ELS and since these are a consciousness with which he could connect, he was able to use them as a buoy to get safely with them.
In the universe of this story they can only jump to systems in which it already has presence, because until they found the colonial, they assumed that there was no one else.
In addition to this the innovators are relatively new and few in numbers to be able to make more exhaustive experiments in this subject.
