About this book

This is the fourth sourcebook for Macross 2050. This book contains all of theinformation about all of the mecha and capital ships of the UN Military the !entraedi"nti#UN forces and Varauta that ha$e e$er been used. %t also has basic &eapons armor

technolo'y and e(uipment for ci$ilian or other use. " lot of the mecha and capital shipsare reprinted in pre$ious books and are compiled in one sourcebook here. This is thecompiled book of e(uipment and technolo'y used in Macross. This manual does notinclude information from )ourcebooks 5 throu'h *.

The Mekton !eta and Mekton !eta +lus books are needed for further e,planationof certain key systems and for makin' ne& mecha althou'h % &ill present as much asneeded &ithout reprintin' entire sections of those books here -this book is 'oin' to be bi'enou'h as is.

The last couple of chapters include my notes as to &hy particular thin's &erecon$erted as they are as &ell as a 'lossary of phrases and terms used in both Mekton andMacross.

Capital Ship Notes

The stats and /+ costs of capital ships do not include the /+ of any mecha orshuttles carried. "ll capital ships are assumed to ha$e sufficient life support escape podsairlocks dockin' ports food stations@mess halls sho&ers and bathrooms to accommodate



their full cre&. %n the case of !entraedi $essels parts of the cre& (uarters are actuallystasis chambers and UN $essels &ill include some recreation rooms.

Unless specified all capital ships are assumed to be re#entry capable. Most capitalships are not desi'ned for landin' on hard 'round and &ill suffer e,treme dama'e fromattemptin'. )uch $essels can land safely in a sufficient body of &ater and remain afloat as

lon' as the hull hasnAt suffered more than B of its ma,imum Cills in dama'e.

Speed Conversion

Many of the $ariable fi'hters ha$e $aryin' $elocities dependin' on their relati$ealtitude due to the air coolant intakes. >ather than listin' out multiple speeds for each Vat $aryin' altitudes -for each mode assume a V is limited to about half of its ma,imumthrust at 0000m or less abo$e sea#le$el and full thrust at 40000#2000m abo$e sea#le$el. urthermore unless a specific $elocity is listed for space assume a V can 'o 0Dfaster in space -yes %Am i'norin' the theory of infinite acceleration but the <M doesnAtha$e to.

Many of the $ariable fi'hters &ill ha$e t&o speed listin's. Ene is the official

listed speeds accordin' to Macross /ompendium &hich compiles the information pro$ided by the ori'inal desi'ners. The other is the closest Mekton appro,imation. The<M can decide to use either the official speed or the Mekton speed.

/alculation of Mekton speed sometimes pro$ides inconsistent results. Ene &ay issimply findin' the $ariable fi'hterFs ma,imum speed and con$ertin' that directly intoMekton M". This sometimes yields speeds in e,cess of M" 09 -6arth escape $elocity.The other &ay 'i$en in Mekton !eta +lus is to find the &ei'ht and thrust of the mechaand usin' the formula --thrust @ &ei'ht ,* to 'et the M". %n one instance a Mektonspeed of M" 24 &as calculated.

More information under /hapter 7.

Improved Ground Movement

%n Mekton mecha 'round speed is calculated solely by the mechaFs &ei'ht. Thisis a bit.. bland. " mecha can impro$e its 'round speed by payin' a cost multiplier of ,0. per M" o$er the base &hich is only applied to the mo$ement system. This is commonlyused &ith !entraedi battle pods.

6,ample G " mecha &ith H4 &alkin' M" &ould pay ,0.4 cost multiplier to thele' ser$os.

6,ample 2G " mecha &ith H20 M" &heels &ould pay ,2.0 cost multiplier to the&heel cost.

Afterburners

"fterburners dump fuel into the e,haust rather than the mi,in'@reaction chamber.This raises the thrust but is far less efficient. Cickin' in the afterburners on Thrustersincreases thrust by 50D but uses times as much fuel. /ost for Thrusters &@"fterburnersis 0.5 /+ per Ton per M" instead of 0.4 /+.

Ship Hull Conversion

/on$ertin' the capital ships of the Macross uni$erse into Mekton is tricky sincethe sheer number of &eapons and mecha@cre& compliment far e,ceeds the spaces allotted



by hull siIe. 6$en usin' space efficiency on &eapons -cannot be used on cre& mecha bays and car'o space it simply is not possible to fit e$erythin' that should be there intothe space allotment. The main problem is that most capital ships are much lar'er andhea$ier than the hull siIe listin' in the Mekton book reach. %n Mekton any ship that ismore than 2200000 metric tons is Me'a#;ea$y? almost all capital ships e,ceed this by a

si'nificant amount. The !entraedi Nupetiet Ver'nitIs#bis fla'ship itself is 280000000tons o$er 00 times as hea$y as Mekton is used to dealin' &ith. "'ain this leads to alack of space for all the systems and needs of the ship to contain not to mention makin'such a beast (uite fra'ile.

There are a handful of ships that simply did not ha$e enou'h space based on theirhull class -mostly the Varauta ships and a couple of UN )pacy ships. urthermore someships -a'ain mostly the Varauta ships ha$e been listed &ith conflictin' masses? onereference says a particular ship is 70000 tons &hile another says 7000000 tons. )pecificnotes are listed under the appropriate profiles.

More information is outlined in /hapter .

Fuel %n Mekton mecha are assumed to ha$e an amount of JfuelK. This matter is a littleambi'uous by the fact that $ariable fi'hters -capital ships and 3estroids as &ell usethermonuclear reaction en'ines &ith an a$era'e life span of 0#2 years for JMektonscaleK mecha. ;o&e$er many stats in re'ards to the early V series -V#0 V# V#)V#5 mention fuel payloads especially under the information for ")T packs thatJcontains e,tra fuel for trainin'K or Jdoes not contain fuel because of the amount of po&er 'enerated by the ne& style of reactorsK. Most capital ships ha$e a life of 40 years before needin' more fuel for their reactors. %t also sho&s e$en "V units bein' refueled.

This 'ets further muddled by the fact that in Macross 3L> ;ikaru and Misatra$eled all over the 6arth checkin' if any maor cities sur$i$ed intact in their VT#trainer. <ranted it did ha$e additional fuel in the ")T +acks and they likely didnFttra$el at full speed the &hole time.

% am usin' alternate fuel rules that &ill be outlined belo&.

>e$ised uel >ulesThe rules for fuel in Mekton !eta +lus are actually (uite ridiculous particularly

concernin' space fli'ht. %n space 000km is a short distance. "lso take intoconsideration that tra$ellin' 000km in space doesnFt re(uire burnin' fuel the entire time? ust a short burst to 'et initial momentum and ust coast alon'. urthermore keepin' tabson e$ery km you tra$el is needless book&ork.

Mecha tra$el in an atmosphere is treated as normal since fli'ht &ill re(uirecontinuous fuel consumption to stay flyin'.

or mecha tra$el in space the idea of =urn Units -=U is more practical. 6ach=U is the e(ui$alent of 250km of fuel in terms of cost space and &ei'ht. " typicalmecha &ith minimum standard fuel load &ould carry =U -000km of fuel like normal.

)o &hat does a =U allo&O 6,pendin' =U allo&s a mecha in space to chan'e itsorbit. ea$in' a carrier -&ithout assisted launch burns =U? most UN )pacy carriersha$e launchers. %nterception of enemy units in a different orbital traectory re(uiresanother =U? as does lea$in' the battle e$acuatin' a doomed ship or returnin' to home



base. "ctual fuel e,penditure durin' combat is minimal compared to these so assume afull normal battle takes =U throu'h combat maneu$erin'.

andin' on a planet or similar siIe body re(uires =U. To land on a planet &ithlittle or no atmosphere re(uires =U e(ual to t&ice the 'ra$ity -<. andin' on a planet&ith an atmosphere still re(uires the re#entry en$ironmental packa'e. ea$in' a planet

re(uires boosterpacks o$erthrusters M" 09H or the transatmospheric ability andre(uires four times the planetFs 'ra$ity in =U. There is no fraction =U any lefto$er issimply rounded do&n and assume to be e,pended.

Thus a $ariable fi'hter at the $ery basic fuel payload rules of =U &ould be ableto race a&ay from their carrier to en'a'e in battle - =U en'a'e in combat - =U andreturn to home base - =U lea$in' =U for emer'encies such as ha$in' to tra$el toanother $essel for landin' or to pursue the enemy.

Life Support

"ll UN forces mecha ha$e life support to sustain 2 people for up to 2 &eeks&hile !entran and Meltran mecha can support person for up to &eek. ife support is

indicated for each capital ship in their appropriate listin'. /apital ships can support up to50D more people for P of the time listed before the air becomes to,ic. ife support alsoincludes all food stores and &ater supply for the ship. This is an important aspect to keeptrack of as sho&n in Macross rontier.

Propulsion

)ince all capital ships are based on the same +rotoculture technolo'y they sharecommon features re'ardin' propulsion. Unless specified in the indi$idual entry allMacross capital ships ha$e the follo&in' propulsion systems -includes all UN "nti#UN!entraedi Varauta and anyone else. %f a capital ship has different propulsion abilities it&ill be detailed under the particular entry. "ll of these are considered )tarship scale and&ill need to be scaled for other scales.

"nti#<ra$ity 3ri$e 1 )ometimes it is also called a contra'ra$ dri$e this is usedfor VTE style takeoff and landin' on planets at a rate of 00m per minute. Enly thesmallest $essels do not use this system. %n Mekton an anti#'ra$ity dri$e takes spacehas 20 Cills and costs 250/+ per ;ull class.

)ubli'ht 6n'ines 1 Most capital ships ha$e subli'ht dri$es that can reach around0.20 of the speed of li'ht rou'hly 7050 km per second -some Meltran ships can tra$elfaster than this. They rarely tra$el at this speed as mecha are unable to keep up bein'only able to attain a ma,imum atmospheric thrust of around Mach 22 -the latest VFs.Most capital ships ha$e a typical cruisin' speed of Mach to Mach -M" 22 to M" 0.UN )pacy capital ships can produce 0.' acceleration in space and can produce bursts ofacceleration up to .0' for up to 2 minutes at a time. )econdary en'ines can pro$ide upto 0.5' acceleration for up to 2 minutes ma,imum.

"lso &eapons ran'es do not e,ceed 75000 to 440000 km and combat &ould be impossible at such speeds. Tra$el at this speed does maintain the problem thatsomethin' 5 mm in siIe bein' able to punch throu'h a shipAs hull as it tra$els at subli'htspeeds and destroyin' the entire ship hence the reason &hy starships feature ma'neticshields that function the same as a planets atmosphere in pushin' aside@repellin' minorspace debris. The ma'netic shields of $essels are not stron' enou'h to contain an



atmosphere but they do protect a'ainst micrometeorites. This shield has nothin' to do&ith the pinpoint barrier systems and remains acti$e as lon' as the ship has po&er.)ubli'ht en'ines take no additional space or Cills since they are part of the basicthrusters and the ma'netic shield 'enerator is considered part of the packa'e.

The !entraedi capital ships use the same technolo'y base as the UN )pacy

althou'h they ha$e some differences. !entraedi $essels can maintain 0.24' accelerationfor up to 5 hours 7 minutes &ith bursts of up to .' acceleration for * minutes. Theemer'ency thrusters can pro$ide 2.' acceleration for up to 0.* minutes. )ubli'ht speedis 0.00 the speed of li'ht or appro,imately 200#400'.

)pace old <enerator 1 )pace foldin' is a form of superluminal fli'ht or morecommonly kno&n as hyperspace tra$el. =ecause the +rotoculture &ho de$eloped thistechnolo'y &ere considered to be T0 all such space fold 'enerators are capable oftra$elin' at up to 5.25,00 kmps or li'ht year e$ery 7 minutes -as Misa ;ayase statedJone hour in super dimensional space is ten days in real spaceK. Qhat the fold dri$esdoes is push the ship into hyperspace? a dimension adacent to our o&n dimension butone &here distances are far smaller. Thus the tra$el time bet&een distant places is shorter

due to the shortened relati$e distance. Most capital ships e,tend their space fold JbubbleKout 00#000m around the ship allo&in' them to take lar'e 'roups of mecha and smallerships &ith them althou'h later fold en'ines create a JportalK that they pass throu'h.

Note that unlike other sci#fi 'ames and series the space foldin' has more of ateleportin' appearance than the Jstretchy star fieldK effect -such as in )tar Qars. Thisteleportin' effect is the mecha or capital ship actually slippin' into or out of this sub#dimension and not the actual tra$el. Tra$el in this sub#dimension appears as a colorfulfield of bubbles -as seen in Macross +lus althou'h in Macross rontier it appears (uitedifferent.

This brin's up the (uestion of &hy colony fleets donAt ust use super dimensionalspace to 'et across the 'ala,y in a fraction of the time. The first main reason is that the

further a ship or fleet folds the more na$i'ational haIards there are to account for. Theother main reason is that the further the space fold the ener'y re(uirements increase'eometrically. or e,ample foldin' one L takes one JunitK of ener'y. oldin' t&o L&ould take t&o foldin' three mi'ht take si, and foldin' ten mi'ht take 50. urthermoreMacross rontier sho&s that there are Jfold faultsK throu'hout the 'ala,y that force shipsin superdimensional space to reenter normal space and these must be na$i'ated around.They may be more common closer to the core of the 'ala,y and thus may be caused bythe intense radiation and the supermassi$e black hole at the core. old umps of *00#000



L or more are considered Jlon' distanceK and re(uire massi$e amounts of ener'y. oldsof 40 L are considered Jshort distanceK. Typically a fleet &ill space fold 20 or soli'htyears and take sensor readin's of the area &hile &aitin' for the space fold 'eneratorto rechar'e.

6den is .8 li'htyears from 6arth so it &ould ha$e taken %samu -and <uld usin'

the prototype $ariable fi'hter booster -rated li'htyear e$ery 90 minutes about 054minutes to tra$el from 6den to 6arth -8 hours 42 minutes. ThatFs actually pretty damn'ood.

The last main reason is if they ust teleported around to &here they needed to 'othey &ould ha$e little opportunity to do e,ploration.

eapon S!stems

3espite cosmetic and minor mechanical and cosmetic differences most capitalship class &eapons of the same type and class &ill ha$e similar ran'es payloads anddama'e rates since they are all based on +rotoculture technolo'y. To simplify this/hapter has details on all capital ship &eapon types. %ndi$idual $essel listin's &ill

ha$e the type and amount of each &eapon mounted and only a (uick list of stats for the&eapon. Uni(ue &eapon systems &ill ha$e details listed under the indi$idual entries orrace technolo'y sections."mmunition $s Qeapon /ost

%n the basic Mekton rules ammuntion and missiles are subect to the costmultipliers of the mecha &hich leads to some really indecent /+ costs. % felt this isinaccurate since missiles arenFt actually affected by the systems co$ered by costmultipliers. or e,ample acti$e stealth systems specifically state they donFt affectanythin' outside the mecha? &hile you canFt see a V#9 on radar the missiles &ouldsimply appear on the scope once they lea$e the mechaFs body. Missiles also donFttransform arenFt transatmospheric capable donFt ha$e en$ironmental protections and soforth. )o &hy should missiles ha$e their /+ increasedO "n >M fired from a V#9 is nomore effecti$e than if it &ere fired from a V# -other than /) modifiers.

ike&ise hand#held &eapons such as ;u'hes 'unpods should not be included inthe basic mecha desi'n since the &eapon &ill &ork ust the same if used by any $ariablefi'hter or e$en a macroniIed !entraedi.

To this end any ammunition for ballistic &eapons and missile payloads &ill be aseparate /+ cost added on after the final /+ cost of a mecha is calculated. This &illmaintain t&o basic conceptsG missiles and ammunition are mass produced to the same standard and should@&ouldnot cost more or less dependin' on &hat $ariable fi'hter capital ship or destroid e(uipsthem2 this helps reduce the o$erall /+ cost of the mecha

Missiles are handled this &ayG the launcher &ill cost /+ per missile carried or by a specified cost for $ariable payload pallets and &ill ha$e Cills@)paces e(ual to thetotal dama'e of the missiles of that laucher di$ided by 5 -standard rules. Thus alauncher of 5 micromissiles &ill cost 5 /+ and be 9 )paces@Cills before efficiency.

"entraedi #essel Note



Unfortunately there is little concrete information about the !entraedi ships otherthan their dimensions and &ei'ht. Most of them simply state somethin' alon' the lines ofJ'uided con$er'in' beam &eapons -manyK or the like. Their &eapons and mechacompliment are based on the +alladium information and stats. urthermore many of the&eapons numbers and mecha compliment are adusted to be more realistic to the amount

of space a 'i$en ship has. Thus a !entraedi ship &ill only be listed &ith a fe& hundred>e'ult as opposed to a fe& thousand. Most chan'es are based on official informationfound at the Macross /ompendium &ebsite.

Pull the Lever Marked $%

%n the early *0As anime sometimes tended to&ards 'immicks such as the threele$ers to transform the $ariable fi'hter. This &ould be considered a desi'n fla& as theseconds it takes to reach up and pull the le$er could cost the pilot his life. Thereforethrou'hout this book such 'immicks &ill be i'nored in fa$or of more JrealisticK desi'ns.or e,ample the V# &ill use the 3L> mo$ie cockpit instead of the series one.

CP vs& Cost/onstruction +oints or /+ are used to 'i$e a mecha or capital ship an o$erallcombat $alue? t&o mecha both &orth 250 /+ should be relati$ely e(ual in combat. Thisfi'ure is some&hat arbitrary as a mecha &ith e,ceptionally stron' armor canAt be hurt bya mecha &ith lo&er output &eapons and a scout mecha isnAt likely to 'o head#to#head&ith a main battle mecha. 3ependin' on ho& the /+ is distributed to&ards ser$os armor&eapons sensors and additi$es@multipliers t&o mecha &orth the same /+ can be &orldsapart in function.

"nother issue to deal &ith is J/+ costK $s. Jmonetary costK. 3estroids &ereconsidered to be lo&er JcostK to build and maintain than the V# series yet mostdestroids cost more /+ than the V# -the V# is said to cost R20 timesR as much as adestroid. )imilarly the V#8 &as a V#8 &ith many of the more e,pensi$e anddifficult systems remo$ed yet it costs more /+ -the difficulties of passi$e stealth desi'ncost more than simply installin' an acti$e stealth system so other components do not costso much to desi'n and produce.

The simplest &ay to keep this sorted is not to think of /+ as Jho& much moneyKthe mecha is &orth but rather the comple,ity of the desi'n. " 700 /+ mecha doesnAtha$e to cost more money than a 200 /+ mecha it is ust three times more comple, to produce.

'Invincible'

leet $s. fleet combat is (uick and brutal &ith each side firin' potentiallyhundreds of hi'h#output ener'y beams and missiles the siIe of $ariable fi'hters. To protect a'ainst the <#actor the RmainR ship of the fleet and@or &hate$er ship thecharacters are stationed on 'et the invincible trait.

)hips &ith this trait &ill ne$er e,plode no matter ho& many incidental po&erplanthits or critical system dama'e is scored. This is not to say the ship &onFt take dama'e ore$en be crippled for a &hile but such a ship shouldnFt be sunk by a random stray shot.)uch a ship should only be destroyed as a cinematic -and $ery dramatic e$ent.



or e,ample the Macross rontier suffers massi$e dama'e and loss ofen$ironmental stability as &ell as most of its island clusters but it sur$i$es a'ainst allodds to land on the Vara home&orld. The same thin' happens to the Macross 8 colonyship makin' it throu'h the Varuata Qar. The )3# Macross also takes a 'ood amount ofdama'e on its ourney back to earth and once there it has the main cannons and much of

the body nearly destroyed by Suamin and aplamisFs suicide char'e but the Macrosssur$i$es it all to become the UN< head(uarters. )uch ships are le'endary.

The do&nside to this is it assumes the society ad$ances at the same rate in all

possible fields simultaneously. This is impractical and often doesnFt fit &ith the societyFs beliefs.

,epairs S!stem

>epairin' a sin'le mecha is a simple process in the 'ame. =ut &hat about themaintenance teams onboard a capital ship or at a baseO The rules belo& represent theoften o$er&orked and un#thanked mecha repair cre&s. The follo&in' rules also &ork forall scales from human to e,cessi$e.

Technician UnitThe basics of this system is the Technician Unit -TU &hich indicates ho& much

repair &ork can be done by a sin'le technician and their support teams. The TU $alue ise(ual to the technicianFs T6/; H Mecha Tech. TU are e,pended in *#hour >epair +eriods->+. This all assumes the technician has access to proper tools replacement parts andneeded ener'y.

TU &ill co$er >U6,ample TechnicianG or the follo&in' rules &e &ill be usin' technician Me'han

&ho has T6/; 9 and Mecha Tech 7. This 'i$es her a TU $alue of 5. )o she can handleup to 5 >U per *#hour &ork shift.

/alculatin' >epair UnitsThe number of TU needed to repair an obect are calculated in >epair Units ->U.

The >U is calculated accordin' to the system type.ServosG )er$os 'et calculated at a rate of Cills ,5. Qhen they take dama'e the

components are repaired one at a time. 6,ample a V#" has a torso ser$o of 7 Cills soit &ould take 40 >U.

Armor G "rmor is calculated by the )toppin' +o&er , 3ama'e /oefficient. "rmoris repaired at a rate of )+ per >U. 6,ample a V#" torso has )+4 standard armor soit &ould take 4 >U.

SystemsG This includes &eapons and any sub#system that has Cills such assensors. )ystems are calculated at >U per Cill. Qeapons calculate as their 3ama'e-i'norin' =V , Cills. 6,ample the head mounted laser on a V#" inflicts C and has Cill so it takes >U.

Flight SystemG These include ump ets thrusters <6) anti#'ra$ity en'ines andso forth. They are calculated at their full M" , )paces per M" to be restored. 6,amplea V#" thruster takes 2 )paces and pro$ides * M" so restorin' M" loss takes 7 >U.

Cost MultipliersG "ny cost multiplier system that takes no )paces takes a numberof >U e(ual to their cost multiplier ,00.

>epair TimeThe time it takes to repair a dama'ed mecha is dependent on $arious factors

includin' ho& many TU the technicians ha$e the amount of dama'e and ho& lon' the players &ant to spend repairin'. "s stated abo$e repairs are done in *#hour repair periods.

"ny number of repairs may be done in a sin'le >epair +eriod so lon' as theamount of TU e,pended by the technician in a period remain the same. )ystems are

&hich is calculated at half their /+ in >U. %f a mecha costs 400 /+ it &ill take 50 >Uto o$erhaul it. This represents replacin' &orn parts updatin' the combat computer dataand so forth.

%f this is skipped the mecha takes a # cumulati$e penalty to all systems -Q"M" M> etc for e$ery 00 'ame hours of use past the o$erhaul time. Ence it reaches000 'ame hours past o$erhaul the mecha takes a sin'le critical hit that cannot berepaired until after bein' o$erhauled.

addressed. "lso listed belo& are some of the standard features common to almost all$ariable fi'hters. Mekton !eta +lus is needed for the information and notes re'ardin' allmecha parts.

The $ariable fi'hter is the most famous tool of &ar seen in Macross. There arese$eral production types each &ith multiple $ariants and up'rade $ersions. Many other>+< sources 'i$e the a$era'e V stats to make it the e(ui$alent of a tank # this is not the

Note on # ModelsTypically before the transformation ability or other Je,trasK are included in a

$ariable fi'hter there is a non#transformable JK model built. This unit ser$es as a test piece to make sure the airframe and other critical systems &ill &ork properly. %f the <Mneeds to include such a unit take the finished model and reduce the /+ by half to 'et arou'h estimate on the /+ of the mockup unit -for purpose of research : de$elopment and buildin' of the test type.

3( Series

%n the mid to late 990As the manufacturers of 'round armor attempted to s&itchfrom tracked $ehicles to le''ed mecha and accordin' to Vi''ers &hen technolo'y -and$ehicles that &ere secretly de$eloped as $ehicles that &ere to be deployed inunde$eloped areas to &ork as Jpublic &orksK machines &ere disco$ered by the militarythey planned to reroute that technolo'y for &eapons use.

"s for the &alkin' systems at first it &as thou'ht best to de$elop animal le' type&alkin' systems that possessed knees that &here ele$ated to &alk like humans andanimals. =ut due to numerous difficulties encountered in de$elopin' these systems



de$elopment of Jbird le' typeK &alkin' systems in &hich the tip of the foot is ele$ated to&alk &ent ahead in de$elopment.

"s for the merits of Jbird le' typeK &e &ould find that due to the fact that theran'e of mo$ement of the knee in the Jbird le' typeK is small compared to the Janimalle' typeK the re(uired structural mechanics are less complicated and more stren'th in the

oints is possible. "lso it is easily possible to structurally stren'then the &hole le'assembly and thus it is possible to support a hea$y machine &ei'ht. Moreo$er the ran'eof mo$ement of the center of 'ra$ity is limited and thus Jbird le' typeK &alkin' systemscan mo$e at hi'her speeds.

;o&e$er since auto#balancin' sensors and 'yroscopes &ere not de$eloped at that point in time it &as not possible to ele$ate the location of the center of 'ra$ity -bydesi'n and this &as disastrous since Jshort le'K systemAs une$en terrain maneu$erin'ability at this point &as not so different from Jcaterpillar trackK $ehicles. "lso speeds that&ere hoped for couldnAt be achie$ed and structural retrofits became problematic and asthese &eak points became clear the de$elopment of the 6T &as soon after terminated.These mecha ha$e traditional &eapons and armor and run on a diesel en'ine.

"lso in this series is the Q>>#02#Mk %% )corpion an industrial use 6T type that &as test#

produced alon'side the military use 6T type and &as the first machine to recei$e &hat can be called as JarmsK. 6$enafter the production of the 6T type ended it remained for some time in use. There are small numbers that &eredisposed of or sold to ci$ilians

M$, Series

The M=> -Main =attle >obot series &as actually de$eloped by )tone&ell#=ellcom before the V series. The M=>#0 Tomaha&k &as the first destroid to enterser$ice in 2009 meant as a mobile &eapons platform to combat the alien J'iantsK on the'round. %n 200* the M=>#08 )partan enters ser$ice desi'ned for hand#to#hand combat?&ith a handful of Mk % )parta units bein' used before bein' up'raded to Mk %% )partanunits.

The 3eha&k is a )tudio Nue creation that appeared in the MacrossG >ememberMe 'ame for the +/ based on the Macross storyline. The 3eha&k &as named after the3utch air defense missile system /irca 990As. %t is essentially a )partan that is refitted&ith the front &eapon bay@cockpit of the Tomaha&k and has the Tomaha&kAs particle beam 'uns mounted on the shoulders. The 3eha&k sees use in 2048 and &as de$eloped by a oint effort bet&een the /entinental#Cransman <roup and Vi''ers@/hrauler.

The Masamune &as built alon'side the /heyenne as a close#combat counterpart.+roduction &as halted in early 2009 so Vi''ers@/hrauler could focus on &ar#machinedestroids. %n 20 production &as restarted. The Masamune could perform admirably&ell as riot control construction patrol and li'ht combat. The Mk %% $ersion included ane,tra pair of machine 'uns for anti#missile capabilities. There is also a ci$ilian model&ith no &eapons produced for construction mecha. The Masamune &as intended as acompromise bet&een the hea$ier destroids and the (uicker $ariable fi'hters.

The <oblin %% uses the same le' and lo&er torso assemblies as the 3efender. 6acharm mounts a pair of 50mm cannons and the mecha mounts a hi'h#po&ered particle beam cannon on the shoulder. rom its armament it &ould likely ha$e been de$elopedfor lon'#ran'e assault and@or anti#spaceship purposes.



H$, Series

%n 2025 the Vi''ers /hrauler and /entinental /orporations teamed up to ointly produce a smaller $ersion of the Monster 3estroid. The UN military &as lookin' for asmaller mecha capable of pro$idin' the de$astatin' artillery support of the lar'erMonster but more mobile and &ell rounded in terms of medium and short ran'e&eaponry. The Vi''ers and /hrauler /orporations brou'ht the technolo'y of the Monsterto the table and &anted to combine it &ith the /entinental /orporations Tomaha&k

frame. The resultin' prototype &as ne& ;ea$y =attle >obot class code named QarMonster.

%n 3ecember of the ne,t year the prototype rolled out of the /entinental assemblyline and under&ent trial runs. Unfortunately the frame &as &oefully inade(uate tocontain the o$erhead cannons and the shock they inflict on the mechaFs frame. "lthou'hcapable of de$astatin' frontal assaults the mecha nearly fell do&n each time all fourcannons &ere fired. The problems &ere only ma'nified &hen the particle beam cannons&ere fired in unison. The Qar MonsterFs frame sustained dama'e from repeated falls andthe cannon support assembly e,perienced shearin' dama'e.

"n aborti$e attempt &as made to reinforce the Qar Monsters chassis and frame.6n'ineers determined that in order to keep the &ei'ht mana'eable the cannons &ould

need to be do&n'raded to 7 cm from 20. /oupled &ith the shearin' dama'e from the particle beam this proect &as shel$ed &ith the prototype remainin' little more than acuriosity.

A2, Series

The "3> -"ir 3efense >obot series consists of the "3>#0 chassis and the/heyenne. The 3efender is armed &ith lon'#ran'e rapid#fire autocannons desi'ned foranti#aircraft &hich are later up'raded to beam rifles. The "3> is also e(uipped &ith an



ad$anced communications : sensor suite not unlike that of the V6# 6lintseeker. The3efender often ser$es as a command unit for 'roups of mi,ed destroid units. The "3> istechnically part of the M=> series -Mk .

The /heyenne &as mass#produced and deployed onboard the /VN#99 "suka %% in2008 as a mobile anti#aircraft mecha. The /heyenne featured interchan'eable arm

&eapons capable of mountin' either a pair of 7#barrel 'atlin' 'uns or a pair of #shotrocket packs. Unlike later models in the "3> line the /heyenne had Iip rollers on thefeet@le's thrusters in the back and hands on the back end of the arm &eapons makin' itfar more $ersatile than its descendants. ;o&e$er the /heyenne uses a 'as#turbine en'inerather than the micro#scale thermonuclear po&erplant. The Macross Suarter has anupdated $ariant in 2059.

The "3>#0 Mk % Matador &as the final pre#production prototype for &hat&ould e$entually become the "3>#0 Mk R3efenderR. " total of ten units &ere produced from ebruary until March 2009 before the manufacturin' lines &ere s&itchedo$er for full production of the R3efenderR in une. "lthou'h e,ternally the Mk % and units appear to ha$e little in common e,cept for the Vickers#/hrysler le' assemblies

found on all first 'eneration >3 destroids all of the internal systems are $irtuallyidentical to those on the 3efender.6$entually de$elopment of the "3>#0#Mk V )uper 3efender brin's about a

ne& destroid &ith the firepo&er and defense of a destroid &ith the li'ht &ei'ht andmobility of a $ariable fi'hter.

S2, Series

The )3> -)pace 3efense >obot series includes the +halan, and the Ma$erick. %n2009 the )3>#0 +halan, is de$eloped by the cre& of the Macross durin' their ourneyhome from +luto to pro$ide the Macross &ith additional firepo&er as a mobile missilelauncher. "s such the desi'n &as ne$er used or manufactured outside the )3#.

The Ma$erick &as desi'ned by )tudio Nue but as far as % kno& &as ne$eractually used in the Macross storyline. The Ma$erick appears to be a $ariation of the+halan, specifically for lon'#ran'e anti#aircraft and anti#missile capability and is listedas bein' de$eloped by the )3# en'ineerin' 'roup that de$eloped the +halan,.

H, Series

The ;Q> -;ea$y Qeapons >obot series &as also created by )tone&ell#=ellcom. The Mk %% is armed &ith lon'#ran'e cannons and a pair of triple#barrel missilelaunchers all meant for shootin' do&n shuttles and lar'er tar'ets. The Monster %% entersser$ice in 2009. The Monster %% is the bi''est mecha e$er built by the UN )pacy.

)ome records indicate only 7 &ere built and one is kno&n to be intact andfunctionin' on /ity 8 &hile another &as destroyed durin' +roect )uperno$a in 200.Qhen the )3# left earth they had 2 functionin' Monsters and parts to build 4 or more. There &as only a sin'le Mk % model built and &as in ser$ice on the /VN#99 "suka%% in 2008 and &as later up'raded to Mk %% -the Mk % lacked the arm missile launchers.The Mk %%#< has the 0cm cannons replaced &ith e,tended#ran'e +=<# particle beamcannons.

The Mk %%% featured additional close#defense &eapons and additional /4 systems-command control and communications. The Mk %V further increased the armor and



firepo&er follo&in' the Jland battleshipK concept. The Mk %%% and %V both &eredesi'ned as command units for 'round mecha forces. These $ariants of course break theconcept that destroids &ere phased out of use completely.

The Mk )tar )lam replaces the cannons &ith an %/=M rail makin' the destroideffecti$ely a mobile strike missile platform. %t has an uplink to the 6ye of <od defense

net&ork that links the Macross &ith the entire 63 'rid allo&in' the mecha to tar'et anyhostiles that mana'e to slip past and enter the atmosphere. The arm &eapons are replaced&ith a shielded missile rack and a dual#barrel particle beam cannon.

2(, Series

The 3inosaur is the only model in this series and &as a predecessor to the ;Q>series. This is a lar'e#scale destroid that &as test produced to utiliIe the hea$y payloadcapability of the Jbird#le'K type destroid. %t has t&o racks of fi$e#tube 200mm rocketlaunchers as &ell as others constitute its armament.

"entraedi Series

"fter the end of )pace Qar % there &ere hundreds of thousands of remainin'!entran and Meltran mecha and a 'ood amount of macroniIed pilots. The UN decided toup'rade the armor and systems of these mecha to include them in their defense force. Theidea &as to lea$e the macroniIed !entraedi &ith mecha they &ere familiar &ith but had a'reater chance of sur$i$in' combat. This includes the >e'ult -and $ariants <lau' Nousadeul#<er Sueadlunn#>au Sueadlunn#>ea Sueadlunn#Suil(ua and some >aulon#Ve.

The Sueadlunn#Suil(ua &as the first maor up'rade of the Sueadlunn seriesdone by <eneral <ala,y in the mid 2040Fs. %t has a 20D increase in performanceincludin' increased missile capacity. %t is 'enerally re'arded as the stron'est of the series.Unfortunately there is no official information detailin' its production and deployment.

The Sueadlunn#>ea is lar'ely redesi'ned by the UN to incorporate humantechnolo'y as &ell as features from both the Sueadlunn#>au and Nousadeul#<er armors.%t is piloted by both !entran and Meltran macronians.

Fuel4Air $omb

Thermobaric &eapons distin'uish themsel$es from con$entional &eapons byusin' atmospheric o,y'en instead of carryin' an o,idiIer in their e,plosi$es. They arealso called hi'h#impulse thermobaric &eapons -;%Ts fuel#air e,plosi$es -"6 or "Rheat and pressureR &eapons or $acuum bombs.

They produce more e,plosi$e ener'y from a smaller packa'e than othere,plosi$es. Thermobaric &eapons &ork by first e,pellin' a cloud of e,plosi$e mist usin'a small char'e then i'nitin' it &ith a second char'e.

" thermobaric &eapon consists of a container of a $olatile li(uid in some desi'nsincludin' a finely po&dered e,plosi$e component as a slurry and -typically t&o

separate e,plosi$e char'es. "fter the munition is dropped or fired the first e,plosi$echar'e -or some other dispersal mechanism bursts open the container at a predeterminedhei'ht and disperses the fuel in a cloud that mi,es &ith atmospheric o,y'en. Ence thefuel is appropriately mi,ed the second char'e detonates propa'atin' an e,plosion -blast&a$e throu'h the cloud.

"n accidental fuel#air e,plosion may occur as a result of a =oilin' i(uid6,pandin' Vapor 6,plosion? for e,ample &hen a tank containin' li(uified petroleum 'as bursts. )ilo e,plosions caused by the i'nition of finely#po&dered atmospheric dust areanother e,ample.

The blast &a$e destroys unreinforced buildin's and e(uipment and kills andinures personnel. The antipersonnel effect of the blast &a$e is more se$ere in fo,holeson personnel &ith body armor and in RstiffR enclosed spaces such as ca$es buildin'sand bunkers.

The o$erpressure &ithin the detonation can reach 4 M+a -40 lbf@in_ and thetemperature can be 2500 to 4000 X/.

:ptional S!stems

Self 2estruct

This is a system installed in all UN mecha and ships that is used to pre$ent UNtechnolo'y from fallin' into the &ron' hands 1 primarily those of the "nti#UN forces.The self destruct causes the nuclear po&erplant to o$erload and destroy all systems&ithin the frame and reduce the structure to sla'. This system takes up no spaces costs50 /+ and has a timer that can be set any&here from instant to hour. This &ill instantlykill anyone inside the $essel and is treated as a 00C nuclear missile &ith =last 0.

H!pervelocit! Launcher

This is V launchin' platform that telescopes up from a concealed bay in a $essel.The V units mounted in the launcher are suspended in a miniature anti#'ra$ity field toallo& them to launch out at full $elocity so they do not need to &aste precious momentsacceleratin' into battle. These launchers are reser$ed for elite units such as 3iamondorce or 6merald orce and are only built into the Ne& Macross =attle /arriers. Enelauncher can support a 'roup of 4 Vs -or later the sound boosters and takes up )paceand costs 0 /+.

Holo)raphic 2a!1Ni)ht S!stem

This system uses an o$erhead holo'raphic proector in the roof of the ship tosimulate a natural day@ni'ht cycle. This helps to ease the inhabitants of a ship and 'i$ethem a sense of time passin'. This is inte'rated throu'h the hull and has no Cills or /+and &ill continue &orkin' as lon' as the ship has po&er althou'h a sufficiently hea$y hita'ainst the hull may disrupt it for dH minutes.



Stealth 3CM Suite

)ome special forces $essels ha$e a po&erful 6/M suite to help &ith co$ertmissions. Qhile it is technically 6/M in Mekton it counts as acti$e stealth -as per Vsystem that only &orks a'ainst other capital ships. Variable fi'hters and other mecha as&ell as +rotode$iln -or other biolo'ical creatures are not affected by the system. This

system has a cost multiplier of ,0.*.Units &ith acti$e stealth can only be spotted $isually since they are Jin$isibleK tocapital ship sensors and cannot be detected by pulse or ma'netic detectors. urthermorethe beam refraction reduces all ener'y &eapon dama'e by 00C to a minimum of Iero.

Qhen the $essel takes internal dama'e there is a #2 chance on a d0 that thesystem fails and cannot restart until the $essel under'oes repairs.

Lo? #isibilit! Paint Scheme

This &orks e,actly like the Mekton#scale $ersion e,cept that the # penalty is fore$ery 0 he,es. This penalty is reduced by # for e$ery hull class -or additional milliontons beyond? see /hapter 4. "'ain this is cosmetic and costs 0 /+.

Pinpoint $arrier S!stem

Much like the mecha scale ++= the shields of UN capital ships are not allencompassin'. 6ach shield is appro,imately 44m in diameter and re(uires a parry roll tosuccessfully block an attack -"<% H >eflector )ystems H d0 or /re& <rade roll. Theshield is proected appro,imately 0m out from the hull. The shield cannot fully block beam &eapons &ith the &ide an'le trait and &ill still suffer half dama'e. %f a capital ship properly lines up all four barriers they can attempt to block a hea$y particle beam cannon-see the /ombat chapter in the basebook. urthermore the transformable $essels such asthe Ne& Macross class can use their barriers to perform the 3aedelus "ttack.

Autofactor! S!stem

This system is for lar'e#scale ships that ha$e onboard factories for manufacturin' plants to be able to produce &eapons armor and mecha.

The 3aedelus %% uses the same combat doctrine. %t has four for&ard bays that opento re$eal a combination of reaction &arhead systems and mecha bays. The ship is builtalon' a similar desi'n concept as the earlier ">M3 )pace platforms. The 3aedelus %% is built to ram enemy ships open the bays and release the reaction arms or perform boardin' actions to take o$er special tar'ets. The ship is e(uipped &ith a lar'e contin'entof 'round mecha for its primary purpose. %t has a relati$ely small contin'ent of Vfi'hters as a trade off.

restrict dama'e and casualties in the e$ent of a to,ic spill or hull breech. There is one6instein ship in each colony fleet.

GalaD! Patrol Ship

The <ala,y +atrol )hip &as desi'ned to act as a patrol ship for off &orld colonies

concentratin' primarily on search and rescue and /ustoms patrols. The ship is basedupon the hull of the )entinel /lass )tealth /arriers but has none of the stealth capabilitiesof that $essel or $ariable fi'hter stora'e@han'er facilities. The ship is armed &ith a tri# barreled laser cannon mounted in the fore section of the ship and missile launchers fordefense purposes. %t is also e(uipped &ith an ad$anced radar system as &ell as anemer'ency ready medlab facility for rescue purposes and procedures. "s they are cheapto produce and easy to maintain these $essels are commonly found protectin' the moreremote colony &orlds of the United Nations <o$ernment.

of the first desi'n of the UN )pacy to emer'e after )pace Qar %%. =uilt on the capturedfactory satellite the ;aruna cruisers are hea$ily influenced by !entraedi and Meltrandidesi'ns bein' somethin' of a mi,ture of styles culminatin' in an o$erall aesthetically pleasin' $essel. The ship itself is hea$ily armed &ith anti#&arship missiles but it lackslar'e numbers of anti#&arship cannons for offensi$e or defensi$e purposes it doesho&e$er ha$e three dual barrel particle beam cannons to assist in the ships defense. The;aruna cruisers are not intended for hea$y starship combat and certainly not intended to'o head to head &ith the enormous !entran and Meltran battleships it can ho&e$erdefend itself ade(uately enou'h &ith the &eapons it has. %ts &eapons are desi'ned fordefense rather than offense &ith the lar'e numbers of anti#&arship missile launchersse(uestered in the booms on the side of the ship bein' the primary &eapons system.

Heaven Cemeter! Ship

Many of the colonists prefer to keep the tradition of buryin' their dead and eachcolony fleet includes one ;ea$en /lass /emetery )hip. The ;ea$en ship is smaller thanmost other colony ships and cannot dock &ith an "rk >oyal. %nstead the underside ofthe ;ea$en ship has a dockin' mount for a Northampton /lass )tealth ri'ate.

Holl!?ood Amusement Ship

This particular colony ship is of a spherical desi'n &ith a dockin' port for an "rk>oyal 6scort /arrier. 6ach ;olly&ood )hip is di$ided into three sections. The topmostsection contains se$eral amusement parks arcades restaurants V> theatres mo$iecomple,es and almost any form of entertainment desired. The middle section containsthe po&erplant systems controls and li$in' (uarters for the 200000H permanentresidents. The lo&er section contains a multitude of sound sta'es recordin' studios propstora'e computer sets for 23 and 43 renderin' and all other entertainment#related needs.The ;olly&ood also has a po&erful communications relay for use &ith the <ala,y Net&ork.

Macross Colonial Ship

This is the main $essel of the colony fleet desi'ned forlon'#distance coloniIation? bein' a city containin' 450000Hcolonists. The Macross /olonial )hip has a dockin' port for a Ne& Macross /lass =attle /arrier as the command center ofthe entire fleet. The Macross ship features a transparent dometo allo& the colonists to $ie& space as the ni'ht sky and a po&erful holo'raphic system on the interior of the protecti$edome to create a daytime sky effect to 'i$e the colonists a

day@ni'ht cycle. The city section is a little o$er 50 s(uarekilometers and ha$e residential sections parks shoppin'centers and most of the features found in permanent cities."round the lo&er perimeter up to fi$e additional JpodsK canattach to pro$ide additional li$in' space parks and other lastminute additions? ho&e$er these additions are not protected by the protecti$e shell. Many of these additions are similar to the slums of lar'er cities.)ince 2040 there ha$e been Macross /olonial fleets launched -as of 205.

There are lar'e differences bet&een indi$idual fleet ships. The Macross 5 &asdesi'ned by !entraedi and incorporated a lar'e amount of !entraedi technolo'y as &ellas their more or'anic appearance. The Macross 5 fleet also had t&o additional Macross#class colonial ships &ith their o&n battle carriers.

Macross Frontier

Ne&est class of colonial ship -stated this is 5th 'eneration &ith a 00D recyclin' biosystem 'reatly reducin' the need for resupply stops.

The enormous Macross rontier colony fleet consists of the =attle 25 attached tothe front of the massi$e %sland some 5 kilometers lon' -much lar'er than /ity 8&hich &as some 7 kilometers in len'th. Nearly half of the 0 million residents of theMacross rontier fleet reside in %sland under a dome some 2000 meters in altitude. The'round le$els feature metro areas hills ri$ers and oceans. )ky city is located on theceilin' of the dome &hile there are se$eral le$els under'round &ith residential Iones andstora'e space 'ra$ity 'enerators propulsion systems and so on.

Mark (?ain ,iver $oat #essel

The Mark T&ain casino ship is one of the smallest of the fleet bein' only 400min len'th and desi'ned to look like a classic ri$erboat. The Mark T&ain has no &eaponsno dockin' port and no mecha compliment. This $essel pro$ides no commodities to thefleet and is nothin' beyond a portable $ersion of as Ve'as.

Me)aroad Colonial #esselThe first Me'aroad &as refitted from the half constructed )3#02. The Me'aroadcolony ship &as in ser$ice from 202 to 2040 &ith or 2 such fleets launchin' each year.The Me'aroad#class colony $essels are immense ships o$er 40D lon'er than !entraedi Nupetiet Ver'nitIs#bis command cruiser and &ith much 'reater internal $olume. Thefront part of the spacecraft is hollo& and contains an entire city that is much lar'er andmore spacious than the one constructed by the Macross citiIens trapped aboard the )3#. The colony#city can hold up to *0000 colonists in relati$e comfort &ith citiIensenoyin' a fairly hi'h -if not lu,urious (uality of li$in'. The rear portion of theMe'aroad $essels house the command to&er $ariable fi'hter landin' bays po&ersystems and en'ines of the spacecraft as &ell as li$in' (uarters for the military pilotsand cre&. Me'aroad#class $essels are not desi'ned to en'a'e in direct ship#to#shipcombat &ith enemy forces as this &ould 'reatly endan'er the ci$ilian colonists aboard.Therefore the armament of the colony ships is fairly li'ht instead relyin' upon theirfi'hter &in's and escort $essels to protect them from harm. The Me'aroad ships stillser$e as fla'ships for the colony fleets ho&e$er and contain an impressi$e array ofsensors and communications 'ear to help them command and coordinate battles. /aptainsof Me'aroad#class $essels are s&orn to do e$erythin' they possibly can to protect theci$ilian li$es aboard their $essels and &ill not place their ships in dan'er if they can at alla$oid it. 3esi'ned for short#ran'e coloniIation &ithin 00 li'ht years of earth.

Neo Nupetiet #er)nit>s4bis

Enly a handful of these $essels sur$i$ed and &ere rebuilt after )pace Qar %. They&ere refitted to accommodate micronian cre& as &ell as macronian cre&. These behemoths retain their $ast array of &eapons and each one carries close to fi$e thousandmecha. The first Me'aroad colonial fleet &as escorted by a fe& of these and one &as part of the destroyed Macross 5 colonial fleet. The Neo Nupetiet Ver'nitIs#bis has theaddition of an e,ternal dorsal brid'e to the fore &ith secondary brid'e to the aft andadditional antennae includin' t&o main dorsal antennae aft of brid'e and one main$entral antenna.



Ne? Macross $attle Carrier

The Ne& Macross /arrier is an up'raded "rk >oyal /arrier that &as made to betransformable like the ori'inal Macross and is the only ship in the fleet that is e(uipped&ith a hea$y particle beam cannon. ike the "rk >oyal the Ne& Macross carries o$er 42

s(uadrons of V mecha and has se$eral &eapons systems. " ne& feature found on the"rk >oyal /arrier is that the particle beam cannon is built as a separate 'unship that becomes a Jhand heldK 'unpod#like &eapon that can be dropped@eected in the e$ent ofan o$erload.

6ach fleet tends to modify their fla'ship to suit their needs such as the fla'ship ofthe Macross <ala,y fleet ha$in' more automated systems and the brid'e resemblin' thehead of a V#28.

Northampton Class Stealth Fri)ate

The Northampton )tealth ri'ate is currently the most common &arship in use bythe UN )pacy fleet. These $essels are desi'ned for a $ariety of different missions

includin' escort patrols reconnaissance and front#line combat duty. The fri'ates arefairly cheap to build and maintain compared to other &arships such as the "rk >oyal and Ne& Macross battle carriers but still pro$ide ample firepo&er and protection as &ell asthe ability to carry full s(uadrons of V mecha into combat. Northampton fri'ates arealso the smallest &arships e(uipped &ith ad$anced 6/M and electronic &arfare systemsthus leadin' to their desi'nation as stealth fri'ates. The ships are a common part of e$eryUN )pacy military and coloniIation fleet and are also assi'ned to most frontier colony&orlds in order to both pro$ide protection from pirates and other e,ternal threats and tokeep order amon' the colonyFs commercial shippin'. Northampton fri'ates &ere firstlaunched in 202* and are still produced by most UN )pacy shipyards at a rate of se$eraldoIen per year.

Northampton Stealth Fri)ate "entraedi #ariant

This is a basic Northampton &ith some features redesi'ned &ith a !entraedifla$or 'i$in' it the more rounded Jor'anicK look of ori'inal !entraedi ships rather thanthe an'ular diamond profile of the ori'inal Northampton. This &as the main escort $esselof the Macross 5 colonial fleet.

:berth Space 2estro!er

The Eberth &as the first $essel the UN attempted to build from scratch. " total of25 Eberth destroyers &ere built durin' its production run from 2009 to 200 althou'hnot all of them &ere accounted for at the end of )pace Qar %. The Eberth carried a payload of * cruise missiles and had a set of four rail'uns mounted on the nose for e,trafirepo&er. "fter )pace Qar % the remainin' Eberth &ere refitted &ith ener'y &eapons in place of the rail'uns and &ere up'raded &ith better sensors and en'ines. 3espite theup'rades made the Eberth &as retired as a relati$e failure.

Prometheus Semi4Submersible Attack Carrier

)ince their inception "ircraft /arriers ha$e ruled the seas. The +rometheus /lass)emi#)ubmersible "ttack "ircraft /arrier is no e,ception. The /V)#0 +rometheus the



first of this class had its keel laid do&n une *th 2004 &as commissioned 3ecember of2005 and launched 2st )eptember 2008. UtiliIin' the ne& technolo'y deri$ed from thein$esti'ations of the )3# the +rometheus &as desi'ned &ith much 'reater toleranceand capability than any pre$ious aircraft carrier. To this date the UN has been $eryhappy &ith the performance of the +rometheus and has no desire to replace it. The

+rometheus also sees a 'ood deal of use on colony &orlds. The +rometheus can di$e todepths of 2. km and remain under&ater for up to months.

,iviera Marine ,esort #essel

The >i$iera >esort Vessel is one of the most ad$anced ci$ilian $essels e$erdesi'ned for UN )pacy colony missions -outside of the .e0 Macross city $essels. Thecolony ship is shaped like a 'iant spiral seashell and contains an artificial oceansurrounded by o$er 0 km of simulated beachfront property. The ocean pro$ides thecitiIens of the colony fleet &ith a &ide $ariety of &ater sports includin' s&immin'yachtin' surfin' et skiin' and trollin'. "rtificially 'enerated &a$es of $aryin'stren'ths produce areas of shoreline that are calm or choppy to suit the tastes of the

$acationer &hile the life support systems keep the temperature of the $essel at a pleasantsummer temperature &ith a refreshin' breeIe rollin' in off the &ater. The hotels andrestaurants alon' the shoreline are re'arded as the most lu,urious in kno&n space and aree,tremely popular amon' the colonists.

The >i$iera also pro$ides an essential function to the fleet by producin' kelpsea&eed and $arious fish and seafood for the fleet. =ecause of the strict en$ironmentalre(uirements of the simulated ocean and the sea life contained &ithin it >i$iera $esselsha$e e,tremely ad$anced and fault#tolerant life support systems. The $essels are hi'hlycompartmentaliIed and in the e$ent of a hull breach or other dama'e lar'e sections ofthe ship can be completely sealed off to pre$ent loss of en$ironmental control in theintact areas. 6ach >i$iera has an "rk >oyal 6scort /arrier docked to it.

S2F4- Macross

This is the ori'inal %nspection "rmy Meltran 'unship that crashed on )outh "taria%sland in 999. The )3# &as rebuilt and re$erse en'ineered o$er a period of almost 0years 'i$in' humanity a 'reat deal of o$ertechnolo'y to fi'ht the !entraedi fleet. "fterthe destruction of =oddole !er the )3# &as repaired and had a 'ood portion of themidsection rebuilt to be a command center for the ne&ly founded Ne& Unity<o$ernment stationed in "laska.

S2F46B Global

The Macross )3N 0 <lobal &as attached to the 8th >esearch leet operatin'in late 200s. %t &as publicly declared in 20* that a fold na$i'ation error lead to thedestruction of the !lobal and the other fleet ships but the truth &as far more disturbin'.The 8th >esearch leet encountered the hostile Vara for the first time in 20*. >ankaee &as supposedly the only sur$i$or from that fleet and she has no memory of her early

childhood as the result of mental trauma from the deaths of her father mother and brother. )ome years later the Macross 0 <lobal is found seemin'ly abandoned onthe surface of <allia by Qarrant Efficer "lto )aotome of the )M) and ci$ilian >ankaee. Upon e,plorin' the interior of the craft it is found to be a portion of a Vara hi$e.The !lobal and the rest of the hi$e is destroyed as an entire Vara fleet emer'es from beneath the surface of the planet attains orbit and commences a space fold. ust prior tothe Vara fleet departin' a 3imension 6ater is unleashed on the surface of the planetdestroyin' a Ne& UN )pacy base the attached !entraedi marine battalion and most ofthe planet itself. Thus ho& lon' the !lobal had been on <allia or ho& it arri$ed on the planet &ill likely remain a mystery.

The <lobal had a pair of ">M3 carriers docked identical to the )3# Macross.

Sentinel Stealth Attack Carrier

The )entinel /lass /arrier is the ne&est and smallest addition to the UN )pacyleet ha$in' only be'un to be produced recently. "lthou'h this meter /arrier isdesi'nated as a )tealth "ttack /arrier is certainly not a front line combat $essel and isdesi'ned for )pecial orces and reconnaissance missions &here its speed and stealth are paramount to the completion of its mission. The )entinel /arrier carries only a smallcomplement of Variable i'hters for reconnaissance purposes or )pecial orcesmissions. These fi'hters are al&ays stealth capable fi'hters usually V#9 6,calibur orV#22 )turm$o'el for )pecial orces assi'nments? or V#8 Ni'htmares for fleetreconnaissance. Enly a handful of these $essels ha$e been manufactured and assi'ned tospecialist units ho&e$er the UN )pacy plans to put more into production in the nearfuture.

Sunn!flo?er A)ricultural Platform

The )unnyflo&er /lass "'ricultural +latform is probably the second mostessential part of the entire Ne& Macross /lass /olony leet. Qhere the >i$iera $essels pro$ide &ater fish and recreational facilities the )unflo&er pro$ides the food for thefleetFs million or more inhabitants. Qithout this essential platform the entire leet



&ould star$e to death &ithin a fe& short &eeks. The interior of the )unflo&er platformresembles a 'iant 'reenhouse &ith $arious fruits and $e'etables 'ro&in' under the li'htfilterin' throu'h the semi#transparent 3ome. "nimals are also kept &ithin the confines ofthe platform for manure and fresh meat purposes.

The )unnyflo&er has a docked /lemenceau carrier for control and protection. The

second line of defense is the shield sections that 'i$e the "'ricultural +latform itsname. %n shell do&n mode the shield sections are do&n and cause the platform toresemble a sunflo&er &hich the ship is named after. %n the e$ent of an attack thesesections immediately and s&iftly come up to co$er the semi#transparent dome of the$essel to encase it in a shield of armored plates.

(hree Star Mobile Manufacturin) Platform

The lo&er le$els of the ship contain a complete refinery that can e,tract allnecessary metals and ra& materials from space debris such as asteroids and comets.These materials are then raised to the core of the starship &hich contains a completemanufacturin' facility based on technolo'y reco$ered from the +rotoculture factory

satellite captured by the UN )pacy in Ectober 20. The automated factory canmanufacture almost any component from miniaturiIed microchips to complete mecha.The factory can e$en manufacture from scratch capital starships such as a Ne& Macross battle carrier. ;o&e$er this process can take months dependin' on the comple,ity of thestarship -a Ne& Macross battle carrier &ill take almost a year to build from scratch &hileutiliIin' the complete resources of the platform durin' that time. The Three )tar facilityis of course capable of conductin' routine repair and maintenance on starships as &ell to prolon' their acti$e lifespan. " lar'e beam is mounted from the rear of the ship &hichser$es as a dry#dock for starship repair refit and construction. The Three )tar cre&complement of the ship includes a trained en'ineerin' staff of o$er 000 alon' &ith themost ad$anced /"3"M -computer#aided desi'n and manufacturin' systems a$ailableto the UN )pacy. %n addition Three )tars maintain constant contact &ith other colonymissions as &ell as UN )pacy head(uarters $ia the <ala,y Net&ork communications netallo&in' ne& desi'ns to be (uickly shared across the UN )pacy fleet as they arede$eloped. This permits e$en the most distant colony missions to keep up to their mechaand e(uipment up to date.

The Three )tar can build or repair up to 0000 /+ &orth of materials per &eekalthou'h no more than 2000 /+ may be allotted to any sin'le mecha or ship. Thus theThree )tar can build se$eral V# Thunderbolts &ork repairs on a dama'ed Northampton and also produce armor and &eapons for infantry all at once.

The fli'ht suit from 200* is essentially the same one as used by air force pilots before the reformation of the Ne& Unity <o$ernment. %t pro$ides little in the &ay ofdefense a'ainst firearms.

/niforms from 5667

The brid'e officerAs uniform is standardiIed &ith colors to indicate theirrespecti$e rank or duty onboard their ship. The first officer &ears a yello& shirt &ith a&hite skirt and acket &ith 'reen trim. The &eaponry officer &ears a la$ender shirt &ith a'reen skirt and acket &ith yello& trim.

The luminescent strips ha$e been decreased in siIe and a set of four belt pouchesha$e been added to the fli'ht suit. "lso UN )pacy added an optional $est and beret to the black formal uniform for ace pilots test pilots and s(uadron leaders.

The Male +o&er armor &as the primary mecha of the !entraediFs "ir Mobile/al$ary. Qith its limited fli'ht capabilities the Male +o&er amour could be releasedfrom hi'h orbit fi'htin' its &ay to the surface. Upon reachin' the surface battalions of



Male +o&er armors &ould entrench and hold any 'round until reinforcements of =attle+ods landed.

They decided that a ne& moread$anced Efficers +o&er "rmor &ith increased sensor and amour capabilities &as

needed for their elite troops.The Efficer +o&er armor takes much from its predecessor as the basic bodyshape remains the same. ;o&e$er the for&ard impact cannon &hich &as lar'elyineffecti$e &as remo$ed.

;ueadluun4Ger (actical Po?er Armor

Qith the de$elopment of the Efficer +o&er "rmor and the Sueadluun#>au +o&er"rmor the +rotoculture decided that the ultimate po&er armor &as still needed. TheEfficer +o&er armor had 'reater armor protection than the Sueadluun#>au and had more po&erful beam &eaponry. Qhile the Sueadluun#>au possessed the ad$anced %nertial

control system and hi'h missile load. Qhat &as needed &as a command mecha that couldfi'ht anythin' that the %n$id or the ne&ly rebellious 3isciples of !or possessed. ;encethe Sueadluun#<er or the Tactical +o&er armor &as de$eloped.

The Tactical +o&er armor takes much from its predecessors as the basic bodyshape remains the same as the Efficer po&er armor? ho&e$er rou'hly 50D of the armor protection &as added. T&o plasma shock thrusters identical to the three mounted on thefemale po&er armor &ere added. =ecause of the increased armor &ei'ht of the mecha theacceleration in space or the ma,imum speed in the atmosphere is much less than that ofthe female or officer po&er armor. The top mounted hi'hly effecti$e +=# &as kept.The lar'est addition to the firepo&er of the Tactical +o&er "rmor is the four missilelaunchers added to the primary &eapon systems.

This 'a$e the Tactical +o&er "rmor 02 <latrlan3i(hau' micromissiles.

The Tactical +o&er "rmor ne$er made it past the e,perimental sta'e. Enly 000units &ere produced and tested in the elite units of the )tellar >epublic.

;ueadluun4au Assault Po?er Armor

The de$elopment of the Sueadluun#<er -Tactical +o&er "rmor po&er armor pro$ided the male !entraedi an e(ui$alent counterpart to the hi'hly successfulSueadluun#>au. The +rotoculture looked at other &ays to impro$e the standard male po&er armor to fill other tactical re(uirements. Ene desi'n impro$ement &as to producea hi'hly mobile ca$alry unit &hich could be (uickly deployed to key areas of the battlefield or used for special operations.

The "ssault +o&er "rmor -Sueadluun#Lau &as de$eloped 5 years after theTactical +o&er "rmor to fulfill these needs. "lthou'h the "ssault "rmor does not ha$enearly the armor nor the firepo&er of the standard Tactical +o&er "rmor it stilloutclasses the standard Male +o&er "rmor. The hi'hly successful +=# &as kept as the primary lon' ran'e &eapon? ho&e$er the missile load &as reduced to 2 short ran'emissiles mounted in t&o )#2 launchers on either shoulder. T&o carbine $ersions of the$enerable +=#0 found on all combat models of the >e'ult =attle +od &ere added toeither arm for short ran'e defense.

The Sueadluun Lau ne$er made it past the e,perimental sta'e. Enly 250 models&ere produced immediately before the !entraedi campai'n to recapture the )3#. "ppro,imately 50 "ssault "rmors &ere included in Vrlit&haiAs forces to reclaim the)3#.

Chapter 9 . "entraedi Capital Ships"ll of the ships of the !entraedi and Meltrandi fleets &ere desi'ned by the

+rotoculture. E$erall they are lar'ely similar in function and &eapons althou'h they had

distinct appearances 1 the !entran ships are usually 'reen in color and more rounded&hile the Meltran ha$e sharp an'les and are usually purple in color. "lso these capitalships are not e(uipped &ith any /%3) systems relyin' on their countless mecha to &ardoff enemy mecha.

!entraedi brid'e(echno4:r)anic Components

"s stated pre$iously parts of +rotoculture technolo'y used for !entran andMeltran forces is partially or'anic in nature. This is best sho&n in the controls of the



Meltran po&er armor suits and the li$in' link bet&een fleet commanders and their super#scale command $essels. These ships also ha$e techno#or'anic computers and Jad$isorKunits. This is considered part of normal !entraedi technolo'y and re(uires no additionalcost multipliers due to the ad$anced super#science used by the +rotoculture.

"ll of the super#scale command ships ha$e four to si, such techno#or'anic

ad$isors in the command room. These ad$isors appear to be a lar'e cranial unit sproutin'many tendrils &ith a lon' mechanical spine#like appenda'e. The neural tissue containedin the cranial unit of them is so dense that their computational and stora'e capacity is better than any type of computer system a$ailable to fleet commanders thus makin' theircounsel indispensable. These ad$isors also ha$e the ability to interact &ith the command baseAs systems other !entraedi technolo'y and !entraedi themsel$es $ia the tendrils thatsprout from his unusual form. These tendrils are or'anic data transfer acks and allo&them to process $ast amounts of data $ery (uickly -functions as Telemechanics andTelepathy. Note that >ecords Efficers and )upreme /ommanders ha$e this same ability.

"ny other forces tryin' to adapt this techno#or'anic technolo'y to their o&n must pay the standard cost multiplier listed in Mekton !eta +lus.

Mecha :verride Control

Most fleet fla'ships can o$erride the controls of all !entraedi mecha &ithin theirsensor ran'e. This automatically po&ers do&n their &eapons and puts them on autopilotto return to the han'er of the capital ship that they &ere launched from -or one that hasroom should their ship ha$e been destroyed. This feature &as added to keep tabs on!entraedi forces that may succumb to their innately a''ressi$e nature. The Meltranfla'ship has a similar de$ice that affects Meltran mecha but is less fre(uently needed.This unit takes space and costs 00 /+.

,adio1,adar Interference Net?ork

The capital ships of the !entraedi )eries can emit a po&erful ammin' si'nal that pre$ents lon'#ran'e communications. This functions as a >ank 0 6/M &ith a radius of725 he,es -*2.5 km. =y linkin' up &ith other !entraedi capital ships they may create aJnetK to block communications o$er a lar'e area. This unit also includes a radar#ammin'de$ice that functions as a >ank * 6/M &ith a radius of 440 he,es -7.5 km. This fullunit takes 5 spaces has 40 Cills and costs 700 /+.

H!perspace Communications S!stem

This system is found on most fla'ships allo&in' the fleets to communicate &iththeir commander re'ardless of distance. %t is from this that the UN )pacy e$entuallyde$elops the <ala,y Net&ork. This system takes up space and costs 500 /+.

Automated Medical Facilities

Qhile most se$erely inured !entraedi are left on the battlefield to die sli'htlyinured ones are brou'ht back to the capital ships for medical treatment. The automatedfacilities can reco$er up to 20 ;its per patient per day. urthermore they can restore adead !entraedi back to life if he has been dead for 5 minutes or less -due to their tailored3N" structure. This JresurrectionK is usually reser$ed for fa$ored officers and ace pilots.



$io4Scan Chamber

This allo&s the records officers to study and analyIe biolo'ical forms pro$idin'them &ith $ery detailed data re'ardin' physiolo'y chemical and 'enetic structure. %t isfully automatic. This takes up no space as it is included in part of their medical facility

and costs 50 /+.

Science Facilities

=ecause of the !entraedi lack of education most command ships ha$e automatedscience facilities that can analyIe creatures and so forth for the !entraedi and report thefindin's. The facilities ha$e the e(ui$alent of %NT and T6/; 5 &ith any applicable skillsat rank 5. or those &ho are already trained in such skills the facilities 'rant a H4 bonusto their skill checks. This adds no cost and is considered part of the medical bays.

Cross Fold S!stem

" hi'hly ad$anced fold manipulation system the /ross old )ystem is able to

manipulate the fold reaction of other ships and redirect them to other coordinates ineffect chan'in' the course of the foldin' ships. Qhen tar'et ship-s ha$e entered ahyperspace fold the de#fold coordinates are preset. The /ross old )ystem intercepts theships in ;yperspace and creates a premature drop back into normal space at any desiredlocation. The /ross old )ystem is effecti$e up to "U -95009.92 km distantfrom the ship. This system costs 5000 /+ has 200 Cills and takes up 2 )paces.

Internal Sensors

The internal sensors of a !entraedi $essel can monitor temperature radiationmotion e,plosions@fires and other disturbances and chemical make#up of the shipAs airsupply. %t should be noted that the sensors cannot detect micronians &ithout a $ehicle ormecha.

Nutrition 0 ater 2ispensers

"t $arious places &ithin a !entraedi $essel are stations that dispense &ater andsynthesiIed nutritional food for the troops. This JfoodK is bland fla$orless andcompletely unappetiIin' but is hi'hly nutritional. Throu'h recyclin' these supplies canlast for 0 to 2 years.

Meltran Modular Construction

Meltran ships are built &ith a modular desi'n so that destroyin' one section hasless chance of destroyin' the entire $essel. Qhen a Meltran ship is hit &ith a criticalstrike that &ould destroy the ship the ship can detach the module and a$oid destructionon a # on a d0 but they still lose the module and associated systems.

Not hea$ily armed &hen the scout ship e,pects an armed conflict to arise they areoften deployed in teams or &ith a 'unship to act as escort. These ships can also functionclose in defense units in a fleet formation protectin' the lar'er ships from concentratedmissile fire from opposin' fleets. Their small siIe means that many of them can be positioned around a lar'er &arship such as a fla'ship.

Spiral Nebula Fleet Command $ase

This ship of the )piral Nebula "rm /entral leet la'ship class is the lar'est ship&ithin the fleet. %n the entire !entraedi "rmy there are probably 000 to 2000 ships ofthis class. Er'anic in nature the )piral Nebula command base &as thou'ht to be tens ofthousands of years old. "rmed &ith laser cannons and missile launchers this shipcombined &ith its escort fleet of bet&een and 5 million !entraedi ships can decimate a planetary surface in minutes.

%n 2047 the Neld leet in$aded the )olar )ystem. /ommander Neld hadde$eloped an alliance &ith Camin formerly of the =odolIa leet under Vrlit&hai Fscommand.

The in$asion consisted of t&o fronts one near Neptune the other Mars. The Neptune offensi$e e$entually shifted to 6arth Erbit. The Neld la'ship remained nearMars &here it &as e$entually defeated in an attack by the Vrlit&hai leet.

%n 2048 the =urado leet in$aded the )olar )ystem. "s in the pre$ious yearCamin had formed another alliance this time &ith /ommander =urado. The =urado

NotesG The Meltrandi )cout )hip sometimes referred to as a pocket battleship is used to scout out potentialenemyFs and report back to the main fleet. This particular model of Meltran ship is the smallest ship in theMeltran leets arsenal and as a result it is li'htly armed. Qhen the scout ship e,pects an armed conflict toarise they are often deployed in teams or &ith a <unship to act as escort. These ships can also functionclose in defense units in a fleet formation protectin' the lar'er ships from concentrated missile fire fromopposin' fleets. Their small siIe means that many of them can be positioned around a lar'er &arship suchas a fla'ship.

Chapter -6 . #arauta Capital ShipsThe capital ships of the Varauta 6mpire are their o&n desi'ns unlike their mecha

e$en thou'h they are built out of recycled parts and supplies from the Me'aroad#4 fleetand then manufactured from the Three )tar +latform taken from the Macross 5 fleet. "llVarauta capital ships use the +rotoculture omni#directional barrier system modified toalso function as a pinpoint barrier system.

The Varauta fla'ship is one of the ori'inal fla'ships of the pre$ious %nspection"rmy and &as restored after almost 500000 years of inacti$ity. =ased on thisinformation is not unreasonable that the Varauta $essel desi'ns match the schematics ofthe %nspection "rmy and may 'i$e some insi'ht into the +rotoculture era. %n fact it is

hi'hly probable that all of the capital ships are of ori'inal +rotoculture manufacture.

Spiritia Ima)er

This is an added feature to all Varauta capital ships bein' built into the subspacemass detector system. The system can detect all spiritia sources and their appro,imatestren'th &ithin the sensorAs ran'e.

#arauta Assault Cruiser

The Varauta "ssault /ruiser is the third lar'est ship in the Varauta "rmyFs leetafter the fla'ship and super carrier and althou'h half the siIe of the Ne& Macross andUra'a /lass /arriers it is still a hea$ily armed and armored ship (uite ade(uatelycapable of defendin' itself a'ainst most other ships its o&n siIe and lar'er. <i'ile madeone of these $essels his fla'ship durin' the Varauta@UN )pacy conflict strikin' a'ainstthe Macross#8 and its leet. The assault carrier does ha$e a hea$y particle beam cannon.

This assault &arship thatFs kno&n as R<i'ileFs &arshipR is a &arship thatFs beendesi'ned to stren'then the combined performance based on the desi'n of the )tandard=attle ine =attleship. 6$en thou'h it is e(uipped &ith lar'e beam 'uns and double the



ener'y con$ersion armor the operational &ei'ht has become t&ice that of the battleshipitFs based on and it became impossible to maintain a satisfactory speed by the initially planned enhancement of the en'ines used by the )tandard =attle ine =attleship. "lso because the demand for output has also increased the result is the adoption of a ne&lydesi'ned en'ine and it became a lar'e &arship &hose operational &ei'ht e,ceeds that of

the battleship by three. 6$en thou'h it is endo&ed &ith an e,cellent performance because the cost is said to be ten times that of the )tandard =attle ine =attleship the production number is small.

The "ssault Qarship also possesses the capability to command#and#control asmall#scale fleet. %t is operated as the trump card of the Varauta orces.

The armaments are mostly internal types in a &arship that has a stealthy desi'nedfrom a strai'ht#lined polyhedron confi'uration. The lenses of lar'e#bore 'uns are e,posedin the center of the &arshipFs sides. %n the upper half of the &arshipFs stern is the han'arsection and the open part in the &arshipFs stern is an open#style 'ate for the han'ar. Theunderside of the han'ar section is the en'ine section. /arrier#borne aircraft catapult portsare laid out in the &arshipFs bo& and there is a lar'e#scale sensor thatFs referred to as the

"e'is ;ead in the front of the upper part. Moreo$er the fin structures located in the topand bottom of the back of the &arship are heat sinks."t the front of the brid'eFs interior is a combined &indo& and lar'e screen and

on the opposite side is the captainFs seat. 6mbedded#style operator seats are lined up inthe surface of the floor.

#arauta Fla)ship

This monstrous &arship formed the heart of the Varauta <epernich fleet that &asencountered by the Macross 8 fleet in 205. +ossessin' tremendous firepo&er e$en for aship of its siIe the fla'ship of the former )uper$ision army is undoubtedly one of themost po&erful &eapons in the 'ala,y. )tandin' in at 420 meters lon' and carryin' 500$ariable fi'hters &ithin its massi$e han'ar bays the fla'ship is e$en lar'er than the!entraedi Nupetiet Ver'nitIs#bis class battleship. %ndeed the fla'ship &as desi'neddurin' the )chism Qar hundreds of thousands of years a'o as a &eapons platform forthe )uper$ision "rmy that &ould be able to defeat the !entraedi fla'ship. 3e#foldsi'natures are si'nificantly reduced by the shipFs construction and combined &ith thead$anced +rotoculture#era fold dri$es the fla'ship can literally de#fold ri'ht on top of anunsuspectin' enemy force.

3espite the technical capabilities of the Varauta the dama'e inflicted on thefla'ship durin' the Varauta@Macross 8 &ar &as ne$er repaired. "t the end of the &ar thefla'ship had its hea$y particle beam cannon disabled has a speaker pod 'amma stuck inthe brid'e and has se$ere dama'e to the left for&ard dockin' arm. This ship &as ne$errecorded as bein' destroyed after@durin' the &ar.

The e,tra#lar'e fleet command battle carrier that &as ori'inally desi'ned andconstructed to defend the Varauta )tar )ystemFs emi'rants from lar'e#scale forei'nenemies and is also about half the siIe of /ity 8. %n the one ship it has the offensi$eability thatFs comparable to a lar'e#scale fleet. The carrier is endo&ed &ith the mobilityand acceleration abilities at the le$el of a battleship. %t also has the ability tosin'lehandedly e,terminate a small scale !entraedi leet -althou'h one mi'ht say that thefleet has more than 000 ships.



The carrier is e(uipped &ith * "nti#leet 6,tra#ar'e >eaction Qarhead Missilesthat are each loaded &ith 2 0#'i'aton class reaction &arheads as the main munitionsand * hea$y particle beam cannons as the main battery. %n addition the carrier is alsoe(uipped &ith such thin's as a 'reat number of beam 'uns and missile phalan,es in$arious places. Moreo$er the carrier can make use of more than 500 $ariable fi'hters.

This ability usually corresponds &ith 2 to 4 normal scale re'ular space carriers.The leet la'ship )pace /arrier that leads the Varauta leet &hich is composedof about 500 ships. urthermore this &arship in &hich the commander#in#chief<epernich boards may also be called R<epernichFs QarshipR.

The uni(ue shape that could be called a U#letter model. " command and moti$e po&er style system is concentrated in the center of the hullFs rear. 6,tendin' from the leftand ri'ht of the front of the hull are 'iant docks in addition to ship#borne craft launch ports and han'ars.

The brid'e interior has had a uni(ue desi'n applied to it and commander#in#chief<epernich rode the ship here. The brid'e has an e,cellent inte'rated fleet commandsystem set up in it and it is possible to command a fleet on the scale of se$eral hundreds

of ships in battle &ith it.

#arauta Heav! $attroid (ransport

The Varauta hea$y battroid transport is the &orkhorse of the carriers of theVarauta leet. =ein' more pre$alent than the super siIed carriers it is these 5*m lon'$essels that carry the maority of the fi'hters of the Varauta "rmy leet amon'st them.)tron' and sturdy these battroid transports predated the desi'n of the super siIed carriersthat are based on them on a rather lar'er scale thou'h. Tou'hened armor platin' protectsthe Varauta fi'hters inside durin' their transportation to the battle Ione &here they arelaunched from the standard top mounted Varauta launch bays.

The ar'e =attroid Transport Mother#ship has the ability to transport a ma,imumof on the order of 00 $ariable fi'hter craft as frei'ht. urthermore it has the fi'htin'stren'th of a destroyer class ship and both the fold cruisin' ability and speed le$el by&hich it can accompany a cruiser. Qhile it is perfectly able to endure operations as a battleship because of those abilities on the other hand because much of the shipFsinterior space is used as a car'o compartment itFs ability to make use of carrier borneaircraft is inferior to other Varauta &arships and its o$erall combat ability is some&hatlo&. %t not only transports =attroids but can also operate as a support carrier because italso has launchin' catapults and fi'hter command and control e(uipment.

%t is different from the other Varauta &arships &ith its feature structure of armour planks bein' abo$e all arran'ed up and do&n. The point &here the upper part of the hullare catapults and the lo&er part are missile ma'aIines is in common &ith the other&arships of the Varauta orces. 6$en thou'h the layout &ith the upper half of the rearhull as a stora'e compartment and the lo&er part is the en'ine section is identical to theother &arships space for the aircraft han'ar section is ensured to be 'reater than that ofthe other &arships. The mother#ship adopts a structure &ith a diamond shape crosssection that takes stealthiness into account.



#arauta Hi)h4Speed Cruiser

The $an'uard fri'ate is used by the Varauta to scout out the ed'es of territory thatthey &ant to take control of. The problem &ith the fri'ate is that they are small andunder#'unned and under#armed. Qhen somethin' bi''er is re(uired for scoutin'

purposes and picket duty the hi'h#speed cruiser is used. This maneu$erable $essel carries5 s(uadrons of the !#09 and "!#40 fi'hters for reconnaissance and defense.%n a li'ht space cruiser desi'n that stresses na$i'ational performance the ;i'h#

)peed >aidin' )pace /ruiser boasts of the hi'hest speed in the Varauta orces &arships.The fold system has also been enhanced so that the attainable ran'e in fold cruise islon' and it has ust enou'h surplus output to do a refold &ithin a short time too.Moreo$er the armament and armour are e,cellent compared to the cruiserFs siIe and theship is able to cope &ith an e,tensi$e usa'e as it is said to ha$e infiltration manoeu$rin'for special forces thin's like reconnaissance in#force and intelli'ence missions.

Thou'h the hull confi'uration is similar to that of the )tandard =attle#ine=attleship the cruiser has a smarter shape &ithout the aperture in the bo& and stern and

it has a de'raded ship#borne craft operational capability. The cruiser is armed in the&arshipFs front &ith the missile and carrier#based aircraft shootin' mechanisms that arein#common &ith the )tandard =attle#ine =attleship and the like. The cur$edconfi'uration of the &arshipFs structure indicates that it is an old#'eneration stealth&arship.

Ene Main =attery and t&o )ub#=atteries per side are arran'ed on both the left andri'ht sides of the hull and the structure of each battery is the same as the other Varautaorces &arships.

#arauta Standard $attle Line $attleship

The Varauta Main leet =attleship is the most hea$ily armed &arship in theVarauta "rmyFs leet. )acrificin' fi'hter defense for &eapons the Varauta =attleship is afloatin' arsenal of firepo&er capable of takin' on $essels far lar'er than itself andinflictin' hea$y dama'e on them. This particular class of $essel is also the most &idelyused &arship in the Varauta leet and the frontline of attack in any ship#to#ship combat."t 700m lon' it is less than half the len'th of an "rk >oyal /lass escort carrier but morethan capable of takin' one on and sur$i$in' if it &erenFt for the formidable firepo&er ofthe "rk >oyalAs fi'hter screen.

The )tandard =attle ine =attleship is a mass#produced battleship that is operatedas the capital ships of the Varauta orces and is characteriIed by the ener'y con$ersionarmor that is distributed in the planks of armor that are in#common &ith the &arships ofthe Varauta leet. The production costs are held do&n because of the shipFs mass production and thin's like itFs operational performance are e(ui$alent to that of ana$era'e le$el 6arth &arship from the same period. En the other hand the Varauta orcesdid not ha$e a dedicated aircraft carrier so the ability to operate a ma,imum on the orderof 0 $ariable fi'hters &as besto&ed to this battleship. Qhen 2 to 4 of these battleshipsoperate to'ether they e,hibit a carrier#borne aircraft deployment capability that is proportionate to a re'ular carrier.

rom thin's like the hull heat sink and bo& carrier#borne aircraft launch ports itlooks like the battleship has inherited itFs desi'n from an assault &arship. The bo&



carrier#borne aircraft launch port has pro$en to be for lar'e craft. Moreo$er the first halfof the hull is co$ered &ith armor composed of planks. The upper open part of the&arshipFs stern is a han'er 'ate that has an emer'ency shutter and the lo&er one is the propulsion noIIle of the en'ine compartment. The battleship &as used in e,tensi$esituations from operations as the battle stren'th that composes a lar'e#scale fleet to feint

missions as a sin'le &arship.

#arauta Super4Si>ed Carrier

The Varauta )uper )iIed /arrier is the lar'est ship in the VarautaFs fleet asidefrom the Varauta fla'ship. The carrier is only sli'htly smaller than the Ne& Macross andUra'a /lass carriers &ith only a sli'htly smaller force of $ariable fi'hters. The dorsal and$entral panels unfold to become fli'ht decks for the carrierAs fi'hters launchin' 4 at atime &ith a possible 2 bein' launched at any one time.

The ne& model space carrier that the Varauta orces put into battle durin' the&arFs final phase. 6$en thou'h each &arship in the Varauta orces is loaded &ithVariable i'hters the Varauta orces finally accepted the necessity of a dedicated carrier

and built this ship in haste.%t is a lar'e &arship that e,ceeds 000 m. This same &arship is e(uipped &ith a'reat number of armaments such as lar'e#bore beam 'uns close#ran'e missiles andreaction missile launchers. Thou'h it is a carrier it is endo&ed &ith the fire po&er of ahea$y cruiser class. urthermore e$en thou'h it operated e(uipped &ith about 200Variable i'hters the Ne& <i'antic /arrier takes only about 20 minutes until itFsdeployed all 200 craft that are loaded &ithin it? as it is e(uipped &ith openin'#and#shuttin' style scramble catapults per side that can dischar'e a ma,imum of 2 Variablei'hters at the same time.

The lo&er half of the stern is the en'ine section and the upper part is the han'arsection. %n addition to the brid'e the main armaments such as the >eaction Missileaunchers and ar'e#=ore =eam <uns are concentrated on the &arshipFs front. %n the&arshipFs center to stern are the )cramble /atapult 3ecks. 6ach catapult deck can launch4 Variable i'hters at the same time. =ecause of these catapults the Ne& <i'antic/arrier demonstrates a carrier#borne aircraft deployment ability that the other &arshipson the Varauta leet do not ha$e.

#arauta #an)uard Fri)ate

The Varauta $an'uard fri'ate is small and s&ift used by the Varauta forreconnaissance and small raids. "lthou'h it has no stealth capabilities like its UN )pacyopposite its small siIe and an'ular desi'n makes detectin' it at distance difficult. Thesescout fri'ates are used to search out ne& sources of spiritia for their +rotode$iln mastersreportin' back to them on any e,ceptionally hi'h spiritia readin's they may ha$edisco$ered &ith their ad$anced sensor@spiritia detection suites. The $an'uard fri'ate onlycarries a total of four !#09 6l'erIorene for reconnaissance purposes.

The multi#purpose li'ht destroyer of the Varauta orces. %t is assumed that 29&ere operated and they are the most abundantly produced &arship by these forces. "sthis siIe of &arship it e,cels in the balance of mobility &ith armaments and armor. %naddition itFs $ersatility is also hi'h because the fri'ate can be e(uipped &ith 2 -ama,imum of 4 $ariable fi'hters? and it possesses the ability to accomplish $arious



missions. The Van'uard ri'ate sho&ed a hi'h operability and it &as put into e$eryser$ice from fleet#scale operations to small#scale reconnaissance enemy searchesescort and intelli'ence actions. Thou'h it is a small &arship it has an e,cellentfirepo&er in its abundant armaments and it also played an acti$e role in lar'e#scale fleet battles such as the battle on orbit of the +lanet >e,.

The same as the other &arships in the Varauta fleet the upper half of the rear ofthe hull is an aircraft han'er and the lo&er half is the en'ine section. The lo&er part ofthe center of the hull is armed &ith ar'e "nti#Qarship Missile launchin' mechanism.

/ntamed

The +ntamed /lass 3estroyer is one of the latest addition to the "nti#UN and a$ariety of Terrorist or'aniIations. The Untamed 3estroyer has a sta''erin' array of&eapons ran'in' from anti#mecha to anti#&arship &eapons. 3espite its small siIe it canin some cases out'un ships much lar'er than itself. Ene of the most interestin' thin'sabout the untamed class ship is ho& much it closely resembles the )entinel /lass )tealth/arrier. The Untamed shares a near basic shape &ith the )entinel despite the Untamed bein' sli'htly lar'er. =oth also share a transformation se(uence althou'h different and both are stealth $essels. UN %ntelli'ence belie$e that someone has taken the plans for the)entinel and modified it to create a po&erful 3estroyer from it. "s to &ho has done thisno one kno&s. %t is belie$ed that the /ritical +ath /orporation maybe responsible but noe$idence can be found.

Enly a handful of this class of $essel ha$e been seen so far ho&e$er it sho&s adefinite chan'e in tactics by the "nti#UN and terrorist 'roups. They are no& de$elopin'specialist ships for attackin' the UN "rmed orces &ith and 'ro&in' bolder as a result.%t is also e$ident from the Untamed /lass 3estroyer that the "nti#UN kno& ha$e theirhands on stealth technolo'y.

/on$ersions can either ust find the appropriate M" based on the +alladium listed speedor use the Mekton re$erse#en'ineerin' formula to use the official stats 'i$en -&herea$ailable.

The formula 'oes like thisG ind the total thrust output -in k' and di$ide by thetotal &ei'ht of the mecha -a'ain in k'. This number is the amount of <s of acceleration.Multiply the acceleration by ei'ht to 'et the mechaAs M" total.

The official mechanical stats list the V#= as ha$in' a speed of Mach 4.5 at 0km to 40 km abo$e sea le$el in fi'hter mode and Mach *.2H at 40km or hi'her. Theclosest M" to this is 48 -Mach 4.59 and M" 55 -Mach *.4.

=V -=urst Value 1 This indicates that the &eapon fires a burst of multiplerounds. or each number o$er the number needed to strike the tar'et that the roll is madethe tar'et suffers an additional hit from the &eapon at the base dama'e up to the =V$alue. Thus &ith a =V &eapon if the player needs a 5 to hit an opponent and rolls a



total of 8 not only does he hit &ith the primary round but also hits &ith an additional 2rounds [for 7 and 8]. -)ee /ombat in the basebook.

/ommand "rmor 1 This is parts of additional armor that can be attached to amecha to pro$ide temporary armor &eapons and other systems. /ommand armor is

usually desi'ned to be ettisoned if dama'ed or e,hausted of ammunition. ")T packsthat mount on a VAs arms@le's are considered command armor althou'h dorsal mountedones are not. The <=+ Jfull armorK is a hea$y type of command armor.

/+ -/onstruction +oints 1 This is the basic unit used in Mekton to indicaterelati$e cost of a particular mecha ship or piece of e(uipment. 6ach /+ comes out torou'hly 0000 credits. The /+ is listed for mecha $ehicles and other e(uipment becauseit &as a better representation of $alue for some items o$er the use of a monetary $alue.or instance a tractor mi'ht cost a lot of credits but is relati$ely &orthless to mostcharacters? so listin' it &ith a /+ makes its cash $alue more ambi'uous.

6,ampleG The V# costs 48* /+ 'i$in' it a price ta' of about 48*0000 credits

&hile the V#22) is 080 /+ and costs around 0800000 credits.

")T +ack -uel "nd )ensor Tactical +ack 1 These are e,ternally mounted packs &ith e,tra sensors ammunition fuel or &eapons that mount on V units to 'i$ethem more ran'e or firepo&er. There are dorsal@back mounted units $entral@arm mountedunits and le' mounted units.

<=+ -<round =attle +rotector 1 This is a set of command armor that protects theforearms chest lo&er le's and shoulders of the V as &ell as pro$idin' forearm shieldsand e,tra boosters to offset the bulk. The <+= system also packs in a lar'e supply ofmissiles and other optional &eapons 'i$in' a V the armor and firepo&er of a 3estroid.The V cannot transform out of battroid form &hile &earin' a <+= system. 3e$eloped by )hinnakasu ;ea$y %ndustry.

The <=+ is also referred to as Jreacti$e armorK or Jfull armorK. This is a type ofcommand armor -see abo$e.

+rotoculture 1 This &as the first sentient humanoid race in the Milky Qay 'ala,y.They created hi'hly ad$anced technolo'y in mechanics and 'enetics creatin' the basis ofmost of the UN )pacy technolo'y as &ell as the !entraedi )eries clones and the+rotode$iln. They altered the 'enetic structure of early humanity for the purpose of futurecoloniIation. They also had a hand in alterin' other humanoid life such as the !olans.The +rotoculture had disco$ered the Vara millennia a'o and $irtually &orshipped themmakin' some of their 6V% series to look like the Vara Sueen and to duplicate theirspace fold abilities.



>eaction Qeapon 1 )ystem &hich di$erts the enormous ener'y produced byE$ertechnolo'y#based thermonuclear reaction for use as a &eapon. +rotoculture had alsoformerly used similar systems but because +rotoculture stopped their use and productionin the distant past they are kno&n as the Rlon'#lost &eaponryR amon' the !entraedi. =y205 the term reaction &eapon is used to refer to &eapons employin' pair#annihilation

reaction by E$ertechnolo'y. ike the strict controls e,erted on t&entieth#century nuclear&eaponry permission by the hi'hest authorities is necessary for their use. >eaction&eapons include the >M) series and +lanet =uster missiles. The UN charter has a ban ontheir use &hich may be lifted &ith permission from UN hi'h command or by use inJe,ceptional circumstancesK.

The intentionally $a'ue RreactionR concept &as used as an euphemism to a$oidmentionin' the &ords Rnuclear &eaponryR on#screen. "ccordin' to Ca&amori )hoi theuse of nuclear &eaponry by the R'ood 'uysR &as considered taboo by apanese tele$isionstations. -%t &as not considered RtabooR to use RthermonuclearR in the conte,t of po&ersystems and en'ines. Qhen it &as noted to him that pair#annihilation reaction-RcurrentlyR bein' used in the Macross uni$erse is e$en more destructi$e than

thermonuclear reaction Ca&amori obser$ed that since pair#annihilation &eapons donFte,ist -yet there are no protestors. This lends to the idea that these are not nuclear butrather anti#matter &eapons.

Thermonuclear >eaction 1 " type of E$ertechnolo'y similar to nuclear fusion.Unlike nuclear fusion ho&e$er this ener'y reaction became an e,cellent po&er source ofe,treme efficiency since the fuel does not necessarily ha$e to be nuclear material and isalso easily maintained in plasma state &ith the use of super dimension spatial theory.urthermore there is $irtually no radiation 'i$en off by this process makin' it safer?especially in the instance of an en'ine hit.

)ee notes under >eaction Qeapon about the terminolo'y choice and back'round.

Vara 1 " race of biomechanical aliens that li$e near the 'alactic core. They areancient and predate the +rotoculture as they mi'rate to mate &ith s&arms from other'ala,ies e$ery Jhundreds of millions of yearsK. They &ere the inspiration of the+rotoculture and many of their de$elopments &ere done to mimic the Vara.

Macross Missile Massacre 1 Macross has a lon'standin' tradition of firin' hu'es&arms of missiles in a sin'le sal$o e$en a'ainst the most petty of enemy tar'ets? particularly &hile usin' battroid armor sets that ha$e 0 or more missiles.



=eam )pam 1 This is &hen all of the capital ships in a fleet fire all of their beam&eapons at once to a spectacular effect.

Chapter -8 . $uildin) the $etter $eastEk one of the players has an en'ineer &ith 0 ranks of Mecha 3esi'n and &ants

to modify or create ne& mecha. ;o& do you 'o about thisO

Step :neirst off fi'ure out &hat the player &ants to make then determine if it &ill be

easier to modify an e,istin' mecha or build a ne& one from scratch. Ence this isdetermined 'o ahead and let the player make up the mechaAs profile as normal -the <Mhas final say &hat is allo&ed.



Step (?o

No& that the player and <M are satisfied &ith the desi'n the character has tomake up the schematics for the beast. The character must spend full day for e$ery 25/+ or fraction thereof the mecha costs &orkin' on the schematics. "t the end of this timehe makes an %NT H Mecha 3esi'n H d0 roll &ith a difficulty e(ual to the s(uare root ofthe mechaAs cost -before scalin'. or those of us &ithout scientific calculatorsGMecha Cost 2ifficult!

%f the roll fails the character must spend another day re$isin' the desi'n andmakes another roll. This continues until the character succeeds. Thus a 8*0 /+ mecha&ould take 42 days -4.2 rounded up to desi'n.

Most players at this point &ill say Jholy shgtK ho& can % make that &hen the bestroll % can possibly make is 5 -%NT 0 H Mecha 3esi'n 0 H <enius -Mecha 3esi'n 5 Hroll 0H0 &ith e,plodin' dieO The ans&er is simpleG 'et help. Qhen multiple en'ineers&ork on a desi'n take the hi'hest %NT score add the total $alue of each participantAsMecha 3esi'n skill and roll d0. This makes it far easier for a character to de$elopmecha o$er 725 points.

or e,ample one en'ineer mi'ht &ork on the po&erplant and thrusters &hileanother &ill &ork on the fusela'e.

Step (hree

Ence a &orkin' desi'n is created the blueprints 'o on to the mecha bay or Three)tar Mobile Manufacturin' +latform. This is &here the Mecha Tech skill comes in.

3isposable &eapons includin' missiles and 'unpods should be added on afterthe total cost of the mecha is calculated.

out. %n their place a pair of +:Q >oyce #2020 thermonuclear burst#turbine en'inesfrom the V#83 are installed 'i$in' the ne& desi'n rou'hly the same performance asthe V#8.

2 Qhile there is no direct translation for the a$ionics in Mekton &e &ill increasethe performance to "/6 H77D to represent the up'rades. %t &ould also stand to reasonthat the sensor packa'e needs to be updated to M) and increase the resolutionenhancement to ,42 since that &ould be important in racin'. "nd &e &ill add backupsensors ust in case.

4 The armor of the unit &ill be done completely in beta 'rade material since thisis a uni(ue racin' fi'hter that &ill need to be able to &ithstand some din's and bein' backed by the primary bank of Macross rontier means only the best. urthermore thestructure of the &in's needs some impro$ement.

The 'unpod &ill be up'raded to somethin' more modern but &e can disre'ardit for the moment since it is treated separately.

5 The ne& unit should be space#&orthy and the old stealth system &onFt &orka'ainst modern sensor packa'es so &e can strip that out.

)tep Three # Mekton )ystem Up'rade The planned speed for the )V#52 \ is 'oin' to be Mach .* up to 0000m and

Mach 2H past 40000m. This &ill also make the ne& unit transatmospheric capable. Theen'ines as they are on the V#83 'rant M" 2.5 each and cost .4 /+ each. "ddin'the transatmospheric ability is a cost multiplier of ,0.5. These ne& en'ines areconsidered Ro$erchar'edR and ha$e a cost multiplier of ,0.05. The old en'ines are 8.8 /+each.

2 %ncreasin' "/6 44D to "/6 77D increases the cost multiplier from ,0.05 to,0.. The ne& sensors up'rade from 2 to 7 /+ and the resolution enhancement 'oes upfrom to 4 /+. =ackup sensors add 2 /+.



4 irst up'radin' all armor locations to M)@beta armor is * /+ up from 9 /+for the ori'inal. %ncreasin' the &in' ser$os from Q to )T> ups the cost from /+ to 7/+. Up'radin' the head ser$o from Q to )T> ups the cost from 2 /+ to 4 /+.

stealth system is a cost multiplier of ,0..

)tep our # 3oin' the MathThe M" from the en'ines 'i$es fli'ht speed for battroid confi'uration? fi'hter

confi'uration doubles that. The ne& en'ines should still pro$ide M" 2.5 each ust tomake thin's simple. No& the )V#52\ &ei'hs more than the V#83 -assumin' same&ei'ht as the )V#5\ so the ne& /+ for the #same# en'ines increases to 7.4 /+.
