Story
In 2059, the Macross Frontier Fleet, which has become excited over the songstress Sheryl Nome's visit, suffers the attack of the space creatures called the "Vajra". Thereupon, Saotome Aruto, Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome meet by chance, and face the battle. The story depicts the deepening interaction of the three people, although they are bewildered by the extraordinary things which suddenly visit them, and the pattern of their love, in which Aruto places a central role. Also, the expectations and conspiracies of various people surrounding the Vajra, intertwine both inside and outside of the fleet. Although the three of them are involved in the conspiracies, they found out on their own what ought to be done, and walk down the road that they personally believe in...
Caption: Aruto, who chose to fight to protect the people important to him; Ranka, who aims at singing; and Sheryl, who dedicates everything to singing - before long, the complicated union of the desires of the three people are tied together on a single path.

A top idol who calls herself the "Galactic Fairy". She is like a mass of confidence, and she tries to find the meaning of her existence in the conspiracy that she is personally dragged into.

Mechanic
S.M.S.: VF-25 Messiah
The new model of VF that S.M.S. is trial operating. It's all-purposefulness is high due to option packs and it has high manoeuvrability, due to the installation of ISC and EX-Gear.
S.M.S.: Macross Quarter
The Variable Attack Space Carrier flagship of S.M.S.. It boasts of high manoeuvrability and close-range fighting capabilities in a multi-functional ship, which condenses the performance of a Macross ship into a 400 m class sized ship.
Vajra: Vajra
Space creatures that have an appearance like that of an insect. They have the size of an average VF, and can generate plasma beams, missiles, and chaff inside their bodies.
Macross Galaxy Fleet: VF-27 Lucifer
A state of the art VF developed by the Galaxy Fleet. Just like the VF-25, it is based on the YF-24, and although there are many common features in the designs, the VF-27's performance surpasses that of the VF-25.
