Sheryl Nome's recovery song when she took a holiday after she had suspended activities when she had felt unwell. It was also the song she used when she was working for charity to cheer up the depressed people immediately after the Macross Frontier Fleet was hit with a crisis due to the mass outbreak of Vajra. It's possible to say that "Fairy" is the representative song of the reborn Sheryl.
A prophet who once gave songs to the Mardūk. It is said that the Revelations that he passed on to the dictator Ingusu family say: "A messenger from the blue one, he comes and achieves the salvation, confronts a second time, and destroys it. His name is Arusu." As a result, Ingusu thought of the Earth as the "star of Arusu", and was afraid of it.
A child who lived on South Ataria Island. He lived across the street from the Chinese restaurant "Nyan-Nyan", and became emotionally attached to Lynn Minmei. He was later active as the manager of the "Super Dimensional Chinese Restaurant Nyan-Nyan", which expanded as a galactic-scale restaurant chain.
The strong-minded female team member belonging to the Planet Zola Patrol Corps. She appeals to the commanding officer that they should deploy live ammunition instead of the Shock Guns—that have no lethality—against the Galactic Whale Poaching Group that continues to become more and more violent. She has enough vigour to conduct an undercover investigation of the Poaching Group single-handedly.
A song by Fire Bomber, and a solo number by Mylene Flare Jīnasu. In addition, it is also the song sung by City 7 Mayor Miria Farīna Jīnasu in a Sound Booster equipped VF-22S—as a substitute for a deathbed poem—when she had caught a cold and mistakenly thought she was at the end of her life.
A second lieutenant in the Unified Forces. He served at Mars Base in the Unification War period. When the base was withdrawn, the return fleet was destroyed by an Anti Unification Alliance strike, and Riber lost his life.

A female officer who commands the Direct Defence Fleet of the Bodoru Main Fleet in the Zentrādi Forces*. She takes over the task of monitoring the Macross for Buritai. However, as Bodoruzā has completely eliminated the fleets that have been potentially tainted by culture, she is forced to stand on the side of the Macross and fight against Bodoruzā. She put a great deal of trust in her Lance Corporal First Class Miria Farīna.
* Translator's note: originally was "...who commands the Vanguard Fleet under the direct control of the Bodoru Main Fleet..."
A recital by Lynn Minmei that was held in the open air concert hall within the Macross. The concert was cancelled because the enemy invaded while it was being held, and the enemy's military gains extended right up to the venue. Lynn Kaifun—who protected Minmei—was injured during the invasion.
The youngest of the three Macross Quarter bridge operators. She often amuses herself by chatting with her senior, Mīna Roshan, and is often given a warning by Monica Lange, her other senior. Her skills are sound, and she performs rapid simulations and makes precise assessments of the situation.
A Zentrādi belonging to Private Military Provider S.M.S.'s Pixie Flight. She is a taciturn woman with a boyish appearance.
Ranka Lee's singing voice emits Fold Waves that affect the Vajra. The Ranka Attack is a tactic named after the "Minmei Attack", where Ranka's singing voice is used to confuse the Vajra, and then they are attacked.
An idol singer who dashed into stardom with the role of Mao Nome in "Bird Human -Tori No Hito-", and is well-known in the galaxy as the "Super Dimensional Cinderella". Her appeal is attracting people with her innocent cheerfulness. As a matter of fact, Ranka is a survivor of the 117th Research Fleet—which was destroyed by the Vajra—and suffers from dissociative amnesia; in which she lost her memories due to the shock of the fleet's destruction and overreacts when people close to her are injured. After that incident, Ozuma Lee, who was in the Unified Forces at the time, adopted Ranka as his little sister. Also, Ranka's mother Ranshe Mei, a member of the research fleet, had the V-type infectious disease. Ranka, having been born from Ranshe, had a physical make-up that carried the same Fold Bacteria as the Vajra in her intestines, and shared sensations with them. Because of this power, Ranka was used by Grace O'Conner and the other as a tool to seize the Vajra Queen. However, as Ranka connects her heart with the Vajra via songs, it obstructed the ambitions of Grace and the others. In addition, Brera Sterne is her long-lost biological older brother.
Ranka's first live performance—scheduled at the Tenkūmon auditorium—was postponed due to the daring Delivery Live [performance] that attempted to quell the rebellion of the 33rd Marine Corps on Gaul 4. However, it was performed again as "Ranka Lee's First Live Performance: the Revenge".
One of the researchers that participated in the 117th Research Fleet—she is Brera Sterne and Ranka Lee's real mother. Ranshe perceived that the Vajra are intellectual creatures, and objected to treating them as an object of experimentation.

Optional equipment for the VF-0. It is strengthening armour to compensate for the vulnerabilities of the Battroid Form, while also aiming at increasing the firepower by being equipped with a large number of missiles. The armour uses explosive reaction armour that reduces damage by blowing off a part of the armour's surface with gunpowder when a projectile impacts it.

An operator belonging to the Resort Ship Riviera's escort vessel. She is in charge of controlling the within-ship environment and setting the auxiliary inter-space apparatus.
A one-man Battle Pod widely used by the Zentrādi Forces. With a focus on mass-producibility, the Rigādo has a low cost and a simple structure. Accordingly, while it excels in maintainability, the Rigādo's performance is inferior to that of the battle-suits. The cockpit is extremely cramped, and many parts also needed to be manually operated, which was unpopular with the soldiers due to the heavy burden on the pilot.
One of the companion ships that form the core of the Macross 7 Fleet. Although it is a farm aimed at harvesting marine products, the Riviera is a marine ship that has opened facilities on the artificial coast as high-class leisure facilities.
A Zentrādi who built his fortune in the interstellar transportation industry and is the owner of the Civilian Military Provider S.M.S. Richard Birla is also one of the sponsors of the Macross Frontier Fleet, and has the dream of uniting the galaxy. For that reason, he wanted the Vajra's Fold Quartz—which is capable of Zero Time Fold Communication—and he jumped on the bandwagon with and assisted in the ambitions of Grace O'Conner and Leon Mishima.
A Fold Bomb developed by the L.A.I. Co. It rips out and annihilates space within a 50 km radius. It was used in the operation where the Vajra were herded into Island 3 by Ranka Lee's songs and Island 3 itself was annihilated, in order to wipe out the massive swarm of Vajra that had broken out in the Macross Frontier Fleet.
The name used by by Grace O'Conner and the others when they valuated Ranka Lee—who had a physical make-up that affected the Vajra—to be a Vajra Queen.
A repulsion field. It is a wide-area barrier on Island 1 in the Macross Frontier Fleet that can even withstand Heavy Quantum Reaction Cannons.
An indigenous species that inhabits planet Eden. Several varieties of Sauro-bird have been confirmed, and the "Palm-sized Sauro-Birds"—which frequently appears at the Star Hill viewing platform—are small Sauro-birds that aren't acquainted with humans and are popular with tourists.
A pacifist young man who hates military personnel. He is the cousin of Lynn Minmei. During the Unification War, Kaifun ran out of his parents' home—the Chinese restaurant "Nyan-Nyan" on South Ataria Island—for the peace movement, and wandered the world. After the Macross left the Earth due to the Zentrādi attack, he lived in Minmei's parents' home. However, when Minmei returned home to visit her parents, Kaifun boarded the Macross as her chaperone. After the First Interstellar War, Kaifun became the public and private partner of Minmei as her manager. However, this caused antagonism between them, and he left her side.
Lynn Minmei's older brother and manager. As his dream is to make her a big star, he was bitter about the scandal with Hikaru Ichijō.
The legendary songstress who became the key to the end of the First Interstellar War. Minmei was the poster girl of the Chinese restaurant "Nyan-Nyan" in the Macross's residential area. However, she won the Miss Macross contest and entered the entertainment world as an idol singer. Minmei, who received wildly enthusiastic support and become the heart and soul of the Macross citizens, also had a great influence on the Zentrādi—her songs having been spread to the Zentrādi by Warera and the others who had infiltrated into the Macross as spies. As a symbol of culture, Minmei's songs made Warera and the others decide to go into exile, and her songs became the key to ending the war. After the First Interstellar War, Minmei toured around the Earth and became the support for the people rebuilding the world. However, she temporarily lost sight of the meaning of singing due to various factors, such as feuds with her lover Lynn Kaifun. Shortly afterwards, after making a comeback, Minmei departed on the first Super Long Range Emigrant Fleet Megaroad-01. After that, contact with Minmei came to an end when her fleet went in pursuit of music that was flowing from the central region of the galaxy.
