The UES Daedalus is classified as a 'Super-Large-Scale Semi-Submersible Assault Landing Vessel'. The vessel was originally meant to be an all-environment amphibious assault ship, capable of deploying a full regiment of troops on both the surface of the Earth and in space. Two sister ships, the UES Liberator and the UES Targus were built with anti-gravity pods installed and are currently undergoing space trials. The UES Daedalus is not yet fitted with anti-gravity pods but was built to include them.
After the SDF-1's launch the UES Daedalus, along with the UES Prometheus will be conducting a 'Around the World' cruise. While the official nature of the cruise is propaganda, the true nature of the deployment is to destroy/eradicate several known AUL (Anti-Unification League) bases around the world.
During the Battle of Macross Island, the UES Daedalus beached and disembarked the
1st Combined Arms Battalion, and
2nd Armor Battalion. It was decided that light infantry would not be very effective against alien mecha so the
3rd Light Infantry Battalion was not disembarked. The
4th UN Spacy Rotary Wing Group was deployed to support units on Macross Island. The
4th Artillery/Air Defense Battalion remained behind as well but was deployed to the deck of the UES Daedalus to provide artillery support for units on Macross Island. A group of alien mecha tried to board the UES Daedalus but were repulsed.
When the space fold occurred the majority of the UES Daedalus was sealed up for combat operations. Only personnel in portions of the communication tower were killed because some compartments had been compromised due to damage.
All of the disembarked personnel from the
4th UN Spacy Rotary Wing Group were killed. Of the
1st Combined Arms Battalion only the personnel in Delta Company survived. In both the
2nd Armor Battalion and
4th Artillery/Air Defense Battalion a few personnel were killed due to compromised pilot compartments.
