Factory Ship Three Star [7]
Caption: [Factory Ship Three Star] It is slightly smaller than the other accompanying ships in the Macross 7 Fleet. However, it has a heat-dissipating film—which is more than 1,500 m long—extending from the stern that discharges the large amount of heat emitted by the large reactor.
工場艦スリースター

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.

High-speed Raiding Cruiser [7]
Caption: [High-speed Raiding Cruiser] While the other Varōta ships have adopted multi-faceted stealthy structures, the cruiser retains a form with many curved surfaces, and is considered to be a somewhat older generation of ship.
高速遊撃巡宙艦

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.
