Description:
The SDF-01
Macross was the first glimpse we had of alien technology. This colossal vessel broke through the very fabric of hyper-space in the year 1999, on a collision course with the Earth. The Fortress caused catastrophic damage around the world as it descended towards Macross Island (ref. #789-F415) in the South Pacific.
Initially wary, the governments of the Earth united in the face of evidence of potential alien invasion, and immediately began study/reconstruction of the vessel. Headed by Doctor Emil Lang, Ph.D., the research team began uncovering the secrets of the aliens' mysterious technology, dubbed ROBOTECH. This new technology was utilized to build the first generation VERITECH Fighters, which would assist the Fortress in its role as flagship of a new United Earth Defense Force space Navy. It took ten years and cost astronomical sums of money, but the SDF-01 Macross was completed and prepared to launch in February 2009, though that did not go exactly as planned. (Ref.
Ranger Mission Data)
We do not know what has happened to the Fortress, only that it has vanished along with its complement of Combat/Support Craft, Macross Island and its residents, and the bulk of the alien armada.
Further information on the SDF-01 and its combat capabilities is unavailable at this time. However, UEDF Command has begun construction of a second
Macross-class Super Dimensional Fortress/Aerospacecraft Carrier, the SDF-02
Odyssey, at Apollo Base on the Lunar Surface. Whether this SDF-02 can provide accurate combat data on the SDF-01 upon completion is, as of yet, unknown.
The only weapon system that we have, to date, seen operational is an apparent discharge from the Super Heavy Reflex Cannon prior to the initial alien invasion. DST cameras recorded a nova hot beam of energy radiating from the Macross' location into space near the moon, incinerating several advancing vessels. All else is conjectural.
It is unknown whether any additional classes of these ships are operational in the alien armada.
