One of the cities rebuilt on the Earth, which had been burnt to the ground during the First Interstellar War. The city's coastal industrial zone produced valuable parts, such as power capacitors necessary for spaceship flight. However, the city was attacked and a power condenser was seized by malcontent Zentrādi led by Kamujin, who had zeroed in on those condensers.
Secret orders received in advance by the Unified Forces fleet that was investigating the Protoculture relic AFOS (the Bird Man) that was lying dormant on Mayan Island. If the fleet failed to acquire the AFOS, or if the revived AFOS was deemed to be uncontrollable and dangerous, it was to be completely destroyed. For this reason, the Unified Forces fleet that went to investigate had prepared variable-yield Reaction Warheads in advance. Incidentally, "Iconoclasm" refers to a movement to destroy sacred images (icons) that took place in the Christian world during the 8th and 9th centuries, and it is an appropriate name for an operation aiming to destroy the AFOS.
The operation was carried out in absolute secrecy by Sheryl Nome's manager Grace O'Connor. Even though the details have not been revealed, it is believed that the operation was to control the Vajra by using Sheryl—who has the V-type infection—as a test subject, and have them attack the Frontier Fleet. The fact that the timing of Sheryl's arrival in the Frontier Fleet coincides with the time that the Frontier Fleet was attacked by Vajra is considered to be evidence that substantiates the existence of this operation. However, since the Frontier Fleet had Ranka Lee, who had qualities that substituted for a Vajra Queen, Grace changed her plans. It seems that the operation was switched to Sheryl being disposed of and Rank being used as the new test subject.
An operation planned and carried out by Maximilian (Max) Jīnasu, Captain of the Macross 7 Fleet, who had been ordered by the Earth Unified Government to destroy the Protodevilun. The Stealth Frigate "Stargazer" defolded directly above the fourth planet of the Varōta Star System—considered to be the Protodevilun's home planet—and a unit of 12 Variable Fighters launched from the frigate and raided the cave (code name: Polar Star) where the Protodevilun were sealed away. The plan was to launch a reaction weapon into the innermost part of the cave and annihilate the Protodevilun. It seemed like the operation would just barely succeed, however the reaction weapon was used against them, and the raiding party was taken prisoner. On top of that, Gamlin Kizaki went missing during the battle with Gabiru, and Nekki Basara's voice was also muzzled.
A sonic attack that was considered to be a trump card by the Unified Forces in the 2090's, and is also known as the "Minmei Defence". It is believed to have been so named because of the effectiveness of Lynn Minmei's singing in the First Interstellar War. Songs are played at the same time as holographic images of Wendy Ryder and other idol singers are projected into the sector where the battle takes place, confusing the enemy. However, overconfident in its effectiveness, the military's upper echelons let their guard down, which led to the invasion by the Mardūk Forces.
An independent self-governing territory on the Hudson Bay coast in North America. They announced that they would welcome the Macross and its refugees, who had been refused acceptance by the Unified Government. Immediately after that, however, the Macross was attacked by the Zentrādi Forces, and its Omnidirectional Barrier went haywire, obliterating most of the surrounding urban areas. As a result, the Zentrādi Forces were successfully repelled, but the Ontario Autonomous Region refused to accept the Macross. On top of that, the Unified Government ordered the Macross to leave the Earth.
The name of a Deneb-class Heavy Space Cruiser belonging to the Macross Galaxy Fleet, the 51st Super Long Range Emigrant Fleet. It was a main ship in the Galaxy Fleet's defences, and many similar ships were built and commissioned. However, during its voyage, the fleet was attacked by the Vajra and destroyed. The surviving Kaitos called for help from the Macross Frontier Fleet, but was instantly destroyed by a direct hit from a Vajra aircraft carrier.
Its official name is "Ground Effective Reinforcement of Winged Armament with Locomotive Knee-joint (Winged Ground Effect Support Weapon with Mobile Knee-joint)". It is one of the transformation modes of the Variable Fighters developed by the Unified Forces, and is midway between the Fighter and Battroid forms. As a result, it looks like an "aircraft with manipulators and legs". At the beginning of the Valkyrie's development, the GERWALK form was not considered, however the effectiveness of this form was accidentally discovered during a prototype's test flight (when forced to make an emergency landing due to a defective transformation mechanism, it was able to avoid danger by hovering and skating), and has since been adopted in earnest. This form, which was not as difficult to operate as the Battroid form and had superior stability during high-speed skating, was used in a variety of war situations, and was particularly favoured by pilots who had converted from piloting fighter jets.
An aircraft deployed in combat by the Unified Forces around 2090 AD. It was designed to operate only in GERWALK form, eliminating the variable mechanism of the Valkyries—which has a complex structure—and was mainly used for escort missions at low altitude. However, it was not as powerful as a Valkyrie in terms of military strength, and it seems that not so many of them were deployed.
The pilot of the No.2 craft in the Unified Forces Valkyrie Force's Vermilion Flight. When Hikaru Ichijō was appointed flight leader, Hayao and Maximilian Jīnasu (Max) were assigned as Hikaru's subordinates. While he respects Hikaru by calling him "chief", Hayao exaggerates in combat, and is often saved by Hikaru and Max. However, he has a somewhat lovable personality and sets the mood for the Flight as the fierce battles continue.
The pilot of the No.3 craft in the Unified Forces Valkyrie Force's Skull Flight. He is a colleague of Hikaru Ichijō and Maximilian Jīnasu (Max), who all served as Roy Fokker's subordinates. After Fokker's death in battle, the Flight was reorganized with Hayao as Max's subordinate.
A park set up in the Macross 7 Fleet. Contrary to the name "Katasumi"1, the site is large, with a vast lawn and an abundance of trees, and an outdoor stage has been set up in one part of the park.
1 Translator's note: literally means 'corner' or 'nook'.
Spirit-like beings that are spoken of in the folklore of Mayan Island, a solitary island in the south seas. They are believed to be similar to the animistic belief that divinity resides in all things in the world, and there are such Kaduns as the "Iron Kadun" and the "Fire Kadun". It was also believed that some of the Kadun had a negative influence on humans, and those who violated taboos were thought to have been possessed by a "Curse Kadun". It is also said that when the "Kadun of Strife" arrives from beyond the seas and blows the Wind of Doom, the "Bird Man" (AFOS) will awaken and destroy the world.
A female pilot in private military provider SMS, which is stationed in the Macross Frontier Fleet. Her code name is "Rabbit 1". She is usually known for her quiet personality and farsighted thinking, but in battle she is a fierce fighter who pilots a König Monster Variable Bomber. She is married and has a son named Eddie. To Canaria, Eddie is the apple of her eye, and she has a photo of her son on the control console of her bomber.
A member of the "Jamming Birds" civilian cooperative unit, which was formed by the Unified Forces when they were satisfied with Sound Force's military gains. Michelle was scheduled to sortie in the co-pilot seat of the two-seater VF-11D Thunderbolt, and sing with her colleagues Ripple Chitose and Marilyn Linkerbell, in order to support Sound Force in their fight against the Protodevilun. However, due to her fear of the battlefield and a lack of Song Energy, she didn't achieve the expected results.
Livestock raised in "Island 3", an Environmental Ship that belongs to the Macross Frontier Fleet and is in charge of agriculture and cattle raising. The Kabagyu look like a cross between a hippopotamus and a cow, and even though they are quite large, they have mild-mannered personalities. In addition, the special ice cream made from Kabagyu milk is a specialty of Island 3.
The combined form of the Protodevilun Gabiru and Gurabiru. In fact, Gabigura is the original form, and Gurabiru, who constitutes the physical body, was controlled by Gabiru, who presides over the intellect. For that reason, it was irregular for Gabiru awaken all by himself, however this is considered to have been largely due to the influence of the Anima Spiritia. Also, their consumption of Spiritia increases dramatically when they combine, so it appears that they are usually kept separate in order to suppress that consumption. Nevertheless, the abilities gained through merging are tremendous, and Gabigura was powerful enough to destroy a moon-sized celestial body by itself.
