Armoured Pack [ZERO, M, 7, F, Ai]
Caption: "Armoured Pack" Although initially the equipment could only be operated in Battroid form, from the VF-25, VFs could change completely into other forms while equipped with an Armoured Pack.
アーマードパック

In general, they are an increased armour and expanded firearms system for VFs. They might also be named Armoured Parts and Armoured Equipment. Although this optional VF equipment possesses high bullet-resistance and great firepower, they have limited use as they are expensive equipment. Also, due to a purge function, the equipment can be instantaneously removed, and action can be continued like a regular VF.

Armoured Valkyrie [M, Ai]
Caption: "Armoured Valkyrie" With the exception of the special forces, this equipment isn't approved for general use—as it has a high cost due to the dramatic improvement in bullet-resistance and firepower.
アーマードバルキリー

The nickname of a Battroid form VF-1 when it is equipped with the exclusive GBP-1S Protector Weapon System. The GBP-1S is something that was developed with the purpose of improving the performance of the VF-1's close-combat weapons with high bullet-resistance, and a great number of internally mounted projectiles. However, because the VF-1's transformation system is spoiled when the GBP-1S is installed, the equipment must be purged in situations where a pilot must transform to Fighter, GERWALK and so on.

The Space Carrier constructed with the prerequisite of coordinating with the SDF-1 Macross. Though ARMD 01 and ARMD 02 were scheduled to operate docked with the main body of the Macross, they were destroyed by the Zentrādi Forces' Buritai Fleet, which appeared in 2009 on the very day of the Macross Space Launch Ceremony. The main carrier-based aircraft on the ARMD are the SF-3A Lancer II and the QF-3000E Ghost.

ARMD362舞鶴

The Guantánamo class Stealth Space Carrier is the successor model of the ARMD class. Although the basic structure is not greatly different from that of the founding ARMD class, because they have a Fold System built into it, they can cruise by Space Fold on their own. This class of carrier is suitable for mass production, is deployed in great numbers as the main carrier of the Emigrant Fleets, and it even played an active role in the Macross Frontier Fleet in the 2050's.

Do You Remember Love? [7, F]
愛・おぼえていますか

The title of the theatrically released film, whose theme depicted the First Interstellar War and Lynn Minmei's love. It is also the title of the song that Lynn Minmei sings during the production. Such things as mankind's role, the characters' last moments, the uniforms of the armed forces, and the VF designs depicted in the movie also seem to have differing parts from the historical facts.

In addition to Fire Bomber's Mylene Flare Jīnasu singing the song when they encountered the Lost Zentrādi, Ranka Lee covered it on her first single as a song for couples to get together.

Lynn Minmei sang this song in the decisive battle with Goru Bodoruzā, and led the human race to victory.

ISC [F]
Caption: "ISC" The VF-25, which has had the inertial buffer installed, essentially realized the possibility of a manned craft attaining high manoeuvrability with Gs that a pilot wouldn't ordinarily be able to endure.
ISC

Inertia Store Converter (ISC). The common names for the transforming system and inertia storer that was adopted into the VF-25 and VF-27 are such things as Inertial Buffer, and Inertia Buffer. Properly speaking, ISC enables pilots to excessively exceed the inertial endurance limits of the aircraft and the human body with a contrivance that takes and redistributes the inertia that is certainly taken all at once in a manoeuvre. A portion of that inertia that the airframe and pilot are unable to endure is changed into dimensionally distorted energy, and is temporarily stored; to be gradually returned to the airframe and pilot.

Ranka received Burera Stern's aid and left the Macross Frontier Fleet in order to return Ai-kun to the Vajra homeworld, after it had molted and become a 2nd Stage Larva. In those circumstances, Ai-kun led Ranka to the homeworld.
