Caption: The installation of efficient transportation facilities are also a serious concern in Emigration Ships, which cannot help but construct a city in a limited space. The Macross Frontier Fleet in particular dealt with the problem by constructing a wide area railroad system.

Related Matter: Access With Space
The Frontier Fleet had a space port for the traffic from such places as other emigration fleets and planets. In the 2050's, emigrant passenger craft that had fold abilities were not unusual, and there seems to have been a lot of people who visited the Frontier Fleet for such things as sightseeing purposes.

Right: Shuttle
The shuttle Sheryl Nome used when she arrived in the Frontier Fleet. It was even used during the sympathy call to Gaul 4.

Caption: The Island 1 Space Port. Gravity is not controlled in the vicinity of the pier. Entering the gravity area, it becomes a 0.75 G environment.

Caption: Hatches, which are available for the emergency withdrawal and entry of such vehicles as VFs, are installed in the canopy section of Island 1.

Related Matter: Transportation That Interacts With The Diverse Environments
The main transportation of the Frontier Fleet's Island 1 are railroads and vehicles, as the terrain undulates abundantly. In contrast to that, aircraft are used, with helicopters and ships on the water playing a central role in the Environment Ships, which reproduce such things as vast hydrospheres. In this way, not only is the transportation infrastructure - such as roads and railroads - maintained in the Macross Frontier Fleet, but the citizens also use means of transportation that extends over various categories.

Caption: Access to the outlying island of Island 3, where the movie "Bird Man" was filmed, was by boat and helicopter.

Caption: Although there are flight restrictions within Island 1, flight with EX-Gear was permitted to Aruto and the other elite of the Pilot Training Course, who had a thorough knowledge of Island 1.
