Zentradi Attack

On February 7th 2009 the Alien StarShip is christened the SDF-1 (Super Dimension Fortress) Macross. And made ready for its maiden voyage into space. Before any such thing could happen and unknown enemy attacked the Defence Fleet orbiting earth then proceeded to orbital bomb earth from beyond the atmosphere. Only a few of the hostile alien ships where destroyed by the Earth Defence Fleet they were no match for the for them in the end, back on earth the order by UN leaders is given to fire the two working GRAND CANNONS which take out a a good portion of enemies before being totally destroyed.

It was at this time that three young pilots Hikaru Ichijyo, Hayao Kakizaki and Maximillan Jenius attached to  Major Roy Focker's Skull Squadron on the CVS-101 Prometheus. Fresh out of academy they are thrown dead long into combat.

Soon after the assault on Macross City and the Macross Fortress which narrowly avoids destruction by making a space fold which sends the ship to the edge of the solar system along with the ARMD 01 and 02 attached to her and the 50,000+ inhabitants that where moved onto the ship just before the assault began.

The rest of Earth was not so lucky the alien fleet (which the crew of the Macross Fortress find out later to be called Zentradi) leave nothing but destruction behind. Britai 7018s fleet obliterate the earth leaving few survivors, then continue there chase of the Macross. 

The colonist on Mars and the Moon remain relatively safe for a short time and the last few surviving Missile Destroyers and ARMD platform carriers attempt to protect them until the Macross can return or even if it ever will. 
(NOTE: this is purely made up information I have put here which could be used as an adventure idea. EG the crew of an ARMD or some heros on Mars Base could try to defend it from some remaining Zentran ship left behind to patrol the remnants of earth.. MORE to come on this in later post)

THE MACROSS' VOYAGE HOME...

(As Macross fans you should all know this story by now feel the history behing the Macross and its journey home can be played out may ways in an Role Playing Game environment)
