The person selected as the captain of the SDF-1 Macross in recognition of his achievements in the Unification War. Bruno has a wide field of view that enabled him to see the larger picture, without being bound by a soldier's frame of mind. By such things as accepting the Zentrādi refugees and holding an interstellar wedding, he showed the path to reconciliation between Earth's human race and the Zentrādi people. After the First Interstellar War, Bruno worked hard as the commander of the New Unified Government to restore humankind and coexist with the Zentrādi people.

The Captain of the SDF-1 Macross. Bruno is a smoker who can act calmly and coolly. He skilfully commanded the Macross—which had Defolded by itself in the outer periphery of the Solar System due to a space fold accident—and had the ability to return to Earth alive while being chased by the Zentrādi Forces.

The Unified Forces Special Investigation Unit of the 4th Planet in the Varōta 3198XE system was commanded by Staff Officer Ivano Gunther. It is an elite ground warfare unit that used the VF-14 Vampire as their main Valkyrie, and Autre Mauer—who was possessed by the Protodevilun Gigiru—and Irina Hayakawa belonged to the squadron. The troops were mind-controlled by the Protodevilun leader Geperunicchi, who was revived by possessing Gunther, and they were made into the Protodevilun's vanguard as the Varōta Forces.

The largest Mobile Fortress in the Zentrādi Forces. It is the command ship of every quarter of the armed forces in the Main Fleets, and a single Furubusu Barensu class ship controls a fleet of hundreds-of-thousands to several million ships.

A cyborg soldier belonging to the Macross Galaxy Fleet. He is a survivor of the 117th Research Fleet and Ranka Lee's true older brother. However, his memories were blocked by Grace O'Conner and the other leaders of the Galaxy Fleet, and he played a role in supporting their ambitions. He understood Ranka—who he was reunited with in the Macross Frontier Fleet—through the song "Aimo", which was their sole memory, despite having mutually lost their memories; and he started watching over her. However, he and his sister were still used as tools to implement the ambitions of Grace et al. He later regained his memories, and helped S.M.S. stop Grace et al.

The god of heaven in the traditions of Mayan Island. It ordered the "Bird Man"—who had created people—to sing the Song of Doom.* At that time, legend has it that the Bird Man decapitated himself to prevent the singing of the Song of Doom.

* Translator's note: quotation marks ("Bird Man") added in the revised edition.

A Galaxy Fleet plan that aimed at creating a human who has the ability to interact with the Vajra—someone who becomes a synthetic "queen", so to speak—by infecting the human guinea pigs with the Vajra's intestinal bacteria. Sheryl Nome, code-named Fairy 9, was the only successful example with weak Fold Waves manifesting in her singing voice.

A project that puts Song Energy to military use. The project was promoted in the Macross 7 Fleet's Unified Forces with Colonel Burton at the head, and Dr. Chiba—the advocate of the Song Energy Theory—providing technical and theoretical support. As a result, in addition to the establishment of Sound Force and the Jamming Birds, which are musical units centred on singing, VFs and equipment that supported Song Energy were developed, and achieved great results in the Protodevilun War.

The person who oversees the overall program production and broadcasting at SNN (Scramble News Network). He takes care of the young staff, and is strict with Hibiki Kanzaki—who is aiming for a scoop—and explains what being a newsman is like.

A prehistoric civilization considered to be the first intelligent life in the galaxy. Although they flourished with an advanced civilization, they were destroyed by the Protodevilun. It's alleged that the Protoculture are the ancestors of the human race, however it is also alleged that Earth's humankind was also created by the Protoculture, just like the Zentrādi were. In addition, the "Humankind Protoculture Interference Hypothesis"—in which the Protoculture genetically manipulated the primitive Earthlings to become the present human race—is being advocated as one theory about the Protoculture. Also, according to records in planetary-class ruins, they called themselves the Protoculture because they were the first life-form to acquire culture in space.

Entities formed when psycho-energy life-forms from the higher-dimensional Sub-Universe possessed the Ehvil series—the seven Living Weapons created by the Protoculture. The entities require the "Spiritia" that life-forms have as the energy source for their activities. However, since the Protodevilun cannot produce Spiritia by themselves, they survive by absorbing it from other life-forms. Even though they have mighty combat capabilities, the Protodevilun were sealed away by Anima Spiritia [a kind of anti-Spiritia] when the Protodevilun lost their energy source and were weakened when the Protoculture population drastically decreased due to the excessive deprivation of Spiritia. And then, in 2043, when the seals were broken by the Unified Forces Investigation Group in the Varōta Star System, the investigation group that happened to be present were mind-controlled and turned into the Varōta Forces and they started collecting Spiritia. After that, the Protodevilun were reborn as a self-Spiritia-generating race in their contact with the Anima Spiritia possessing Nekki Basara of the Macross 7 Fleet that they battled with, and the [surviving] Protodevilun set out for another galaxy.

A super long-range Fold conducted by the Macross Frontier Fleet to shake free from the Vajra. The plan, which was set at six months in the future, was moved up to and undertaken within one week. As it was a sudden decision, the required energy for the space fold hadn't been accumulated, and there was a hard-line policy of restricting the energy supply within the fleet under the Fourth Control Mode. Incidentally, it seems that an inventory-clearing liquidation Fold Sale occurred—which is customary before a super long-range space fold.

One of the compartments within the SDF-1 Macross that was operationally unnecessary when the ship was restored, and was closed without being fully refurbished. For that reason, giant-sized furnishings are mixed in, and in some places, pre-restoration systems are up and running. Ichijō Hikaru and Lynn Minmei—having been swallowed up in the space fold from South Ataria Island—unexpectedly took refuge in the compartment, could not find an exit, and lived there for nearly two weeks.

A talent agency in the Macross Frontier Fleet operated by Elmo Kuridaniku. It's well-known as the talent agency that discovered Ranka Lee. The Zentrādi enka singer Kīchiro Tokugawa belongs to this agency.

He is the only child in the village that resides on the Remote Planet. He cherishes the seeds of the Galaxy Cosmos—which are a keepsake of his late father—and carries them around close to his body. He is crazy about the popular song program on the Galaxy Network, and is a big fan of Fire Bomber. Because of that, Pedro imitated Basara Nekki's shouts, such as "Listen to my song!" and "Bomber!", to Basara when he suddenly visited Pedro's village, despite it being the first time that they met.

The flagship of the Unified Forces 17th and 18th Cruiser-Destroyer Fleets. The Heracles sortied to intercept the Mardūk Vanguard Fleet that had appeared in the orbit of Mars, and was instantly sunk.

She's originally from North Shout, a residential area on the Moon.

The commander-in-chief of the Zentrādi 118th Main Fleet. He concluded that Earthlings are the Protoculture, and sent spies into the Macross to gain the technologies that the Zentrādi had lost. However, Earth's cultures were spread by the spies who returned, and Bodoruzā—having learned of the crisis—decided to eliminate both the Earth and the Macross. However, his subordinate Buritai Kuridaniku formed an alliance with the Macross, and they were able to defeat Bodoruzā.

A medium-sized Resort Ship that accompanies the Macross 7 Fleet. It is operated by doing the rounds inside the Emigrant Fleet. Fire Bomber had a live performance in it before their debut. At that time, there was the incident where Vampires attacked the venue, and the Varōta Forces simultaneously attacked from the outside.
