An industrial ship belonging to the Macross 7 Fleet. It's a ship with various manufacturing facilities centred on a large reactor, and produces all kinds of industrial products from daily necessities to spaceships. As a result, it looks more like a collection of industrial complexes rather than a ship.
One of the space battlecruisers operated by the Varōta Forces. Despite being rather small at 366 m in length, the number of ships deployed is estimated to be 92, and along with the Standard Battle-line Battleships, they form the core of the Varōta Forces. It specializes in highly-mobile combat that takes advantage of its small size, and they seem to have implemented the tactic of deploying shipboard aircraft while breaking through the centre of the enemy lines at high speed, thereby causing confusion in the enemy forces.
The code-name given to Ranka Lee in a covert operation conducted by Grace O'Conner and others. Incidentally, Code Q1 was believed to have died in the 117th Research Group* incident.
* Translator's note: spelling error? 調査団 (research group; used here) vs. 調査船団 (research fleet—the kanji invariably used to describe the 117th fleet).
A program broadcast live in the Macross 7 Fleet. A dramatic recreation depicting rock group Fire Bomber's fascinating and mysterious past was aired on the program.

Humankind's first interstellar baby. The first child of Maximilian Jīnasu and Zentrādi Miria Farīna*, her full name is Komiria Maria Far?na Jīnasu.
* Translator's note: originally was: "The firstborn of Maximilian Jīnasu and Maria Farīna..."
A general in the Unified Space Forces. He served as the supervisor of "Project Super Nova", a next main Variable Fighter development project, in 2040. However, he actually agreed with the plan to deploy the unmanned Ghost X-9, in accordance with the wishes of Unified Forces Commander Higgins.
A Protodevilun that uses a large Ehvil as its body. By working in tandem with Zomudo—a Protodevilun who was awakened at the same time—Goramu had the ability to emit powerful energy waves and force massive objects to space fold. During the final battle against the Macross 7 Fleet, Goramu met its end when it was absorbed by the rampaging Gepernicchi.
The supreme commander of the Zentrādi Fleet, who has experienced 120,000 cycles since being produced. It is several times the size of a Valkyrie, and is a main computer-like entity that is connected to the Bodoru Flagship.
A battlefield multi-eye camera used by the Battle 7 when gathering information. A container containing multiple Conserax is shot-out to capture images of the battlefield. Target analysis is performed based on the video data.
A Zentrādi belonging to the 8th Reconnaissance-in-Force Unit of the Buritai Fleet. Together with Warera Nantesu and Rorī Doseru, he was so impressed by Earth's culture that he defected to the Macross. After the First Interstellar War, Konda worked in Macross City. However, he became addicted to the "culture" of Earth, and along with Warera he came to live as a freeloader with Rorī, who had married Vanessa Laird.
A Zentran who rammed into the building where Lynn Minmei had taken refuge when he, along with Warera 25258 and Rorī 28356, penetrated inside the Macross as part of the Macross Assault Force. He later attended peace talks with the Earthlings as an ambassador of peace.
The flagship of the Mardūk Forces' Vanguard Fleet, on which Erinshi, the leader of the Emulators, is serving. Considered to be contaminated by enemy culture, the ship was sanctioned by military dictator Ingusu, and annihilated.
One of the cities that recovered after the First Interstellar War. Even though Lynn Minmei was invited to a concert celebrating the city's acquisition of autonomy from the Unified Forces, she refused to sing. Minmei disappeared and took refuge with Hikaru Ichijō.
A system, created by Dr. Chiba—the proponent of the "Sound Energy Theory"—that converts Song Energy into such things as light and power that shakes space-time. The Sound Energy System is a device that re-uses the Super Space-time Converter, which is the core of the Space Fold System. Even though the system can only be operated by a person who possesses a certain level of Song Energy, it is capable of generating even 4th dimensional phenomenon with Song Energy as powerful as that of Nekki Basara and Mylene Jīnasu. It is also possible to double the power of the system by being equipped with such things as a Sound Booster.
The Battle 7's Gunship converted into a Sound Weapon. It sends Song Energy directly into the body of a Protodevilun, paralyzing its bodily functions from the inside. It was used against Geperunicchi during the final battle against the Protodevilun. However, when the second shot was fired, the Gunship's systems reached their limit and broke down, resulting in Geperunicchi going berserk.
Song Energy converted by the Sound Energy System is radiated from three directions to create a barrier that encloses a Protodevilun. The Protodevilun Capture Operation was executed with the Sound Barrier, according to Dr. Chiba's plan.
A device that amplifies the effects of the Song Energy converted by the Sound Energy System. It was developed by the Macross 7 Special Technology Team—in which Dr. Chiba played a leading role—as additional equipment for the Sound Force special-purpose Valkyries, and was put into practical use when the Macross 7 Fleet stayed on Planet Rax.
A civilian cooperative unit born out of "Project M", a project that the Unified Forces advanced in absolute secrecy. Formed with the members of the Fire Bomber rock band, the unit used special-purpose VFs equipped with Sound Weapons. They played an active role as the trump card in the Anti Protodevilun War, and brought the Varōta War to an end.
A high school student who attends the pilot training course of Mihoshi Academy High School's Space Flight Department. He was born into a prestigious kabuki family, but his longing for the sky and a feud with his father led him to become a Valkyrie pilot. Aruto enlisted in the private military provider S.M.S. after a Vajra attack on the Frontier Fleet. He was assigned to Skull Platoon and became a VF-25F pilot. In addition, after the dissolution of S.M.S. and its incorporation into the New Unified Forces, Aruto was assigned the position of commanding officer in Sagittarius Platoon, and played an active role as a regular soldier.
Aruto Saotome's mother. She had a weak constitution and died when Aruto was 12 years old, but she later inspired him to become a pilot.
An actor in the Saotome stable. He is a senior student to Aruto. Even though he isn't related to the Saotome family, he is the leading candidate to become the next "Ranzō", because of Aruto's estrangement with his father.
He is the 18th head of the Saotome stable. Ranzō is a very strict man and has rigidly coached his son Aruto since childhood. Ranzō has been estranged from Aruto since Aruto quit acting due to a rebellion against him.
In Mayan Island folklore, the Fish Man is the counterpart of the "Bird Man". It is said that the Fish Man, whose tail and fins were cut off by the Bird Man, grew legs and became "Rōikanu", the first person on Earth.

A female producer for Galaxy Network, a TV station in City 7. She plotted to headhunt Mylene Flare Jīnasu from Fire Bomber.
A VF flight in the Macross Frontier New Unified Forces. Its call sign is "Sagittarius". After the dissolution of the Private Military Provider S.M.S. and its incorporation into the New Unified Forces, Aruto Saotome served as the flight's commander as a regular serviceman.
An alternative universe that overlaps our universe where humankind resides. Mental lifeforms, who came into existence at one point in the sub-universe, entered into the Ehvil Series created by the Protoculture and became the Protodevilun.
An oracle shrine maiden living on Mayan Island. She is the "guide of the wind" who protects the island's laws and ancient songs, and her singing voice has a mysterious power that she hid from others. In order to protect the island, she departed for a place beyond the sky with the awakened "Bird Man" and the reaction bombs used by the Unified Forces. Incidentally, later on when the Bird Man events were made into the film "Bird Human -Tori no Hito-", Miranda Marin—the winner of the 12th Miss Macross Frontier Contest—played the role of Sara.*
* Translator's note: was "Miss Macross F Contest" in the original ed.
A Unified Forces' observation base built on Mars and abandoned toward the end of the Unification War. When the Macross stopped by the facility, its movements were stopped by Zentrādi gravity mines. However, by causing the underground reactor to run out of control, they blew up the base and the mines, and were able to escape.
An operator on the Battle 7's bridge. She holds the rank of ensign. Sally is mainly in charge of shipboard control and information analysis.
