Related Matter: Mechanisms To Separate And Combine
The Macross Quarter is a composite ship composed of 5 warships. This is from a ship organization that had the goal of simplifying the transformation, and as they each have a reaction engine and fold engine installed in them, each warship can be operated individually or as a fleet.

Caption: All of the ships that compose the Macross Quarter are monitored by the bridge when transforming or uniting.

Legend:
The warship's center and both legs are the Center Hull (A), the port side is the Aircraft Carrier ARMD-L (B), the starboard side is the Gunship ARMD-R (C), the right back part is the Mobile Battery Warship BASTER-R (D), and the left back part is the Mobile Battery Warship BASTER-L (E).

Caption: As reaction engines are installed in each part of the ship, the arms and legs also possess tremendous output. The ship has also wrenched open the mouth of a Knight Class Vajra Carrier.

Right: Even though the propellers are oriented downwards when standing upright, the direction of movement can be adjusted by inclining the legs themselves; this includes the dorsal nozzles, too.

Up: The Aircraft Carrier ARMD-L and the Gunship ARMD-R are retained on the arms. The Macross Quarter's total height is 316 m, its overall width is 79.2 m and its front to back length is 79.2 m.

Functions As A Carrier
The carrier functions are administered by the ARMD-L. It can load up to a maximum of 80 aircraft, such as VFs, has an internal hanger deck and has operational capabilities that rival those of a regular carrier. In addition, a 0.5 G gravity field is formed on the flight deck.

Caption: The catapults are standard electromagnetic type ones, and including the angled deck, 3 are installed on the ship.
