About this game

This basebook will contain the canon storyline of the Macross Saga up to thecurrent timeline. Some extrapolation on my part is necessary to make the game morecomplete, and any large guesses and information I make up for the story will be noted assuch. Macross, Mekton, Cyberpunk, Fusion, tomik, !obotech and any other specific

names and information are assumed to be copyrighted by their respecti"e owners. I#m nottrying to rip$off the owners, %ust presenting things in a new manner so the game isn#tanother clone. s such, I hope that Tatsunoko &roductions, Studio 'ue, Talsorian (ooks,)ummingbird, Ii%ima Mari, )aruhiko Mikimoto, Sho%i *awamori, )armony +old andanyone else associated to Macross, Mekton, Interlock, !obotech and Fusion will beunderstanding - ision need not apply/.

This book should be all that is needed aside from the Macross 0121 sourcebooks/to run a campaign, although the following books and additions may be helpful. Formaking new mecha or modifying the ones presented, Mekton 3eta and Mekton 3eta &luswill ha"e the needed charts and information. lso, any book with the Fusion core ruleswill help4 for the sake of space I#m not reprinting the entire system although specificallyneeded or modified rules will be included in this book. tomik additions particularlytomik lien5/ will be of benefit for further expansion away from the canon storyline.

The first four sourcebooks will contain information pertaining to the canonstoryline. The first will ha"e expanded information on the 6' +o"ernment. The second

will ha"e expanded information on the &rotoculture, 3entraedi, arauta and the&rotode"iln. The third book will ha"e information for all miscellaneous groups such asthe +alaxy &atrol, nti$6' forces and ci"ilian enterprises. The fourth book will containcompiled information for the technology, e7uipment, mecha, ships and "ehicles seenthroughout the Macross saga for campaigns set in any era of Macross.

There will also be four other sourcebooks for the non$canon parts of Macross foruse as alternate campaigns or for incorporating them into the Macross storyline asneeded. The fifth book will co"er Macross II. The sixth book will co"er Super-imensional Ca"alry Southern Cross. The se"enth book will co"er +enesis ClimberMospeada. The eighth and last book will co"er e"erything as seen in !obotech, for thosewho wish to play that instead.

Preface

About Macross

Macross was a =A episode anime T series that aired in ;DE0$;DE=, about war,

mecha, the human spirit and a lo"e triangle. In ;DE>, Macross -o Gou !emember <o"ewas released. -G!< was a mo"ie "ersion concentrating on the actual war with (oddole3er, supposedly made by the people on the Macross in 01=1 to remember and honorthose who died in the war. Macross Flashbask 01;0 was a series of Minmei music "ideosreleased in ;DEB, including one new song ne"er shown in the series, showing the launchof the first coloni5ation fleet lead by the Megaroad$;, escorted by F$>+ fighters. Theoriginal Macross saga has become somewhat dis%ointed from the rest of the story since itwas created long before the other parts.

In ;DD>$;DD2, Macross &lus was released. Macross &lus is yet another story witha lo"e triangle and some of the best animation e"er created, first released as a > part mini$series and then later as a Hmo"ie "ersion originally meant as the mo"ie "ersion/.

The story was continued with another T series of >D episodes, Macross B alsoaired on T in ;DD>$;DD2/. The usual lo"e triangle is more subdued and there is moreemphasis on the music and Hculture. Macross B also has a > part se7uel 8 Macross B-ynamite ;DDB$;DDE/, as well as the = part addition 8 Macross B ?ncore, and a mini$mo"ie 8 Macross B The +alaxy is Calling Me. Macross B Trash and Macross B Mylene(eat carry on the story about the Macross B fleet in manga.

new installment of the Macross legacy is the 2$part Macross 3ero released in011=$011>, which tells the story of !oy Fokker two years before the original Macrossseries, piloting one of the F$1 prototypes. It presents new background information thatwas ne"er presented in the past. Jne such instance was the disco"ery of a &rotoculturerelic on the bottom of the ocean near the &acific island of Mayan, and that the nati"es of

that island followed a belief based on the &rotoculture as di"ine beings. This new series partially pushes the original Macross saga somewhat out of line with the rest of the storysince the original Macross did not make mention of some of the elements shown inMacross 3ero and other parts of the saga. )opefully this will be addressed by Studio 'ue.

In 011E, Macross Frontier is released. This se7uel to Macross B is set in 012D withthe 02th Macross Colonial Fleet ;;th super long$distance colony fleet/ and their encounterwith the insect$like a%ra and a renegade colony fleet. The T series will be followed up



by two mo"ies4 the first a retelling of the series, and the second being a se7uel to theseriesKfirst mo"ie.

9ithout permission or information from Studio 'ue, (andai isual releasedMacross II <o"ers gain, in ;DD0. Macross II takes place in 01D0 as another in"adingarmy the Mardook/ leading 3entraedi forces nearly annihilates ?arth again. Studio 'ue

e"entually buys rights to Macross II and hides it on the back shelf, calling it an Halternatereality.The official Macross story is also carried on through some "ideo games. Macross

-igital Mission F$L ;DDB/ and Macross -igital Mission F$L 0 ;DDD/ for the &SL,Macross 01=A for the Sega C- ;DD0/ and Macross M= 011;/ for the Sega -reamcastall are side stories that take place between and after the anime series#. There are se"eralgames released that take place in or aside from the canon storyline that do not contributeany new information mostly shooting games and the like/.

About RoboTech

!obotech, the E2 episode epic series as you know it, was deri"ed from threeentirely separate anime shows that aired in Napan in the early ;DE1Ps. The animation wasedited together and a hybrid story was added to make the three separate series meshtogether as one long epic story $ !obotech. It was then brought to the 6.S. and the rest ofthe world outside of Napan by Carl Macek and )armony +old. )ow, and moreimportantly, why did this happen: 9ell, itPs a long story.

Soon after the original anime series, Super -imension Fortress Macross became ahit in Napan in ;DE0 )armony +old purchased the 6.S. and international distributionrights to the show from Tatsunoko &roductions at the suggestion of Carl Macek after theyasked him what show might translate well for 'orth merican audiences. Macekoriginally planned to simply translate Macross into ?nglish i.e. dub it/ and market it for broadcast or direct to "ideo sale in the 6.S. )owe"er, at the time a show in mericaneeded at least A2 episodes in order to be syndicated and Macross only consisted of =Aepisodes. The solution:

)armony +old ac7uired two other shows, Super -imension Ca"alry SouthernCross and +enesis Climber Mospeada, which Macek tied together with Macross to makeone gigantic epic story. It was rumored that for a time Macek and )armony +oldconsidered %ust releasing the three shows as separate entities under the !obotech banner,much the way +aiking, +randi5er, -anguard ce, The Star"engers, and the Spaceketeerswere aired under the title QForce Fi"e.Q )owe"er, for whate"er reason this idea ne"ercame to pass.

The linking of Macross with the two other anime series was done partially at the behest of the hobby company, !e"ell Inc., who initially helped fund the show and whocame up with the name Q!obotech.Q !e"ell already had the rights to market many of the plastic model kits based on Macross and other Napanese shows and released them underthe !obotech banner. )armony +old hammered out a deal with !e"ell and used the titlefor their T series as well. s another interesting side note, there was also a two issuecomic book series produced by -C Comics related to this original !obotech model linethat preceded the !obotech tele"ision series. This comic series, which was originally

meant to be three issues, featured none of the characters seen in the T series and wascompletely unrelated, besides in name, to the tele"ision show.

The three anime were taken, edited a little for continuityPs sake this is why yousee shots of the !obotech Masters in parts of the Macross Saga/, and slapped together ina relati"ely short amount of time and !obotech was created. lthough contro"ersial, it

must be admitted that such an unprecedented feat had been pulled off 7uite well.!obotech was then released in merica and worldwide sans Napan and other parts ofsia for ob"ious reasons/ and became a smash hit.

Furthermore, !obotech had three attempts at se7uels, all of which were canceledwith minimal or no production completed. These include !obotech II The Sentinels,!obotech III The Jdyssey, and !obotech =111. )armony +old later decides that theSentinels storyline is an Halternate reality !obotech. Their fourth attempt, ShadowChronicles, at least got a mo"ie out.

Macross vs. RoboTech

Many fans will be familiar with !obotech, and will find differences in names and

information presented here. This game is based off Macross, not !obotech. This game presents the saga as it really happened as opposed to the re$written plot of = completelyseparate and independent stories, although some names and information are adopted in tofill in blank spots these will be noted in the specific entries/. Thus in this game you willhear about )ikaru Ichi%yo, not !ick )unter. See the F at the end of this book for notesand information about "ariations in information.

The Macross Saga was probably one of the least affected story and dialogue$wisealong with Mospeada/ when being adapted into !obotech. This is because Macross wasdeemed the most important of the three chapters, therefore it was necessary to keep itsstory intact as much as possible. Most of the lines in the Macross saga are more or lessdirectly translated from S-F Macross, sans the character names, and a little addeddialogue for both continuityPs sake as well as editing for the merican market. lso, a lotof Q7uestionableQ scenes had to be edited out because merican censors simply wouldnot allow them to be shown to kids. These types of scenes include shots of excessi"e blood and gore, nudity MinmeiPs butt to be specific/, and excessi"e drinking. It isinteresting to note that although they tried to edit out scenes of drinking by both3entraedi and humans, many drinking scenes still appear in !obotech because they wereconsidered key scenes particularly with !oy Fokker/. &erhaps the biggest difference between the original S-F Macross anime and !T the Macross Saga was in the definitionof what QprotocultureQ was.

In !obotech, protoculture was a source of energy that was sought after by the3entraedi, !obotech Masters, In"id, and e"en humans. )owe"er, in Macross,&rotoculture is the name of the first ci"ili5ation in the galaxy. The &rotoculture were theones who created the 3entraedi in Macross while the !obotech Masters created the3entraedi in !obotech/. It may be a bit of a stretch, but it is easy to liken the &rotoculturein Macross to the !obotech Masters in !obotech. nother ma%or difference between thetwo shows is that in the original Macross there is no S-F$0 hidden behind the S-F$;,which is also why you ne"er see the actual S-F$0 in the !obotech animation $ because it %ust wasnPt there in Macross. lso, in the original Macross series although the S-F$;also known as simply the QMacrossQ/ was badly damaged by uam%inPs *hyron in



!obotech/ ship in the last episode, it was ne"er destroyed as it was in !obotech. This iswhy you still see the S-F$; in Macross se7uels, like Macross &lus and Macross Frontier.In fact, in Macross all of the bridge crew, including the captain, sur"i"ed the final attack by uam%in. Gou must try to remember that Macross se7uels, like Macross &lus orMacross B, ha"e nothing to do with the !obotech uni"erse. Get another interesting side

note is that although the F$; is called a alkyrie in the original Macross series andcalled simply a QeritechQ for the most part of the Macross Saga in !obotech, it is alsocalled a alkyrie in !obotech as well by none other than Captain )enry +lo"al himself.In !obotech, the F$; is officially known as the eritech alkyrie, while in S-FMacross it is merely the F$; alkyrie. In !obotech, the term eritech short forariable Technology/ simply means the same as F "ariable fighter/.

The !obotech Masters was probably the most changed story$wise out of theoriginal three shows. This was due to the fact that it had to link what went on in theMacross Saga to the rest of the series. There was a lot of explaining to doR The originalSuper -imension Ca"alry Southern Cross anime didnPt e"en take place on ?arth. It wason a planet with two moons, one of which had to be airbrushed out for !obotech. 3or,

who was the scientist that disco"ered the secrets of protoculture in !obotech, was really %ust the name of the in"ading aliens in the original Southern Cross. nd yes, the endingof the original Southern Cross anime is %ust as dismal as it is in !obotech. In !obotech,3or spreads the pollen of the Flower of <ife throughout the earth, attracting the In"id,who later ensla"e humanity. In the original Southern Cross the pollen is also spread, butwhat happens is that it turns all of humanity on that planet into 3ors. gain, content wascut, such as Neanne#s -ana#s/ many shower scenes.

<ike the Macross Saga, the 'ew +eneration also wasnPt changed too drasticallyfor !obotech. )owe"er, again it was necessary to add elements from past sagas forcontinuityPs sake. In the original Mospeada anime, there was no Qdmiral )unterQ tosearch for. lso, the In"id Inbit in Mospeada/ were not at war with the !obotechMasters, because the !obotech Masters didnPt exist in the original anime. lthough StigScott in the 'ew +eneration/ was on a mission to the reflex point in Mospeada, he wasne"er sent by the !obotech ?xpeditionary Force, but was instead simply part of the Mars(ase reclamation forces. nd of course, nudity was cut4 one episode was trimmed bynearly 2 minutes because of an extended bathing scene with the main female characters.

Chapter 1 – Life in the 21st Century<ife in the mid 0;st century is much different than what it is today. &re"ious

!oboTech !&+s ha"e neglected to go in depth into the human mindset of the post spacewar earth, pro"iding only a little background and concentrating on mecha and weapons.

Race 8 )umanity no longer di"ides itself into Hraces. ll of humanity is a single

race with little or no distinction of ethnic background, geographic origin or religious belief. Inter$human racism is unheard of, although a few groups of humans still harborhatred to the 3entraedi and "ice "ersa. Some colonies are wary of outsiders, howe"er.*nown races of the Macross uni"erse are humans, 3entraedi 3entran @ Meltran/,&rotoculture, &rotode"iln and 3olans.

Language 8 fter the near annihilation of earth, most languages were lost. (eforethe 3entraedi assaulted earth in late 01;1, ?nglish was steadily becoming a Hworldlanguage, used in almost all countries. 9hen the Macross transported the whole South



taria Island out by &luto, they took all of the ci"ilians with them, making them the mainsur"i"ors of earth because of the loss of DD of all human life. The bulk of the citi5ens ofSouth tariaKMacross were Napanese, with mericans being second, and a handful of+erman, !ussian and French all members of JT?C/ aiding in restoring the Macross.Following this line of logic, the new Hearth standard language is a polyglot of nglic

and Napanese with some amount of +erman, !ussian and French mixed in. Jther mainlanguages include 3entraedi and 3olan, with &rotocultureKncient 3entraedi and a few"ariations of thie"es# cant being used by specific groups.

The only conflicting information I ha"e found on this theory is certain Macrosscolonial fleets are referred to as H?nglish fleet or HNapanese fleet and the fact Fire(omber merican and (ritish (omber release ?nglish language "ersions of Fire(omber#s songs. (ased on this it is not unreasonable that some original ?arth languagesremain intact and are the Hmain language of particular colony fleets.

Religion 8 (ased on the same line of thinking as language see abo"e/, most mainreligions were lost, except those practiced by the people on the Macross. The existence ofaliens, not to mention the whole thing about the &rotoculture altering humans in

prehistoric times, mostly debunks Catholic, Islamic and Christian based religions.)owe"er, they remain as minor earth religions since many refuse to abandon their beliefsafter all, maybe +od made the &rotoculture too/. Since most Napanese Shinto priestswould not likely be on South taria Island too much tech/, this lea"es Mahayana andThera"ada (uddhism as the last remaining Hmain religions. It is also not unreasonablethat some new forms of religion would be created, and there could be some minor cultsthat re"ere the &rotoculture as di"ine beings or e"en more scary, &rotode"iln cults/.

thnic 8 gain, the loss of DD of humanity caused a large loss of ethnicdi"ersity. (ecause the main population used for cloning came from the Macross, thislea"es a large percent of humans as sian, Caucasian or sianKCaucasian mix. )owe"er,there are still indi"iduals of 'egroid lineage !ay <o"elock, *ate Masseau, etc./ present.lso, the colony planet of eil seems to be predominantly )ispanic in descent I am notsure if this was done simply for fla"or or not/. ?thnic background is simply no longer animportant concept to humanity. !acism now runs along human "s. 3entraediK3olan lines.

ntertainment 8 Many classic forms of entertainment still exist, preser"ed bythose who sur"i"ed the earth#s annihilation mostly on moon base pollo or on theMacross/. s seen in the "arious Macross anime, music is one of the primaryentertainments around. The +alaxy 'etwork pro"ides access to the current Hinternet,with all that entails. Mo"ies are still 7uite popular, with many films being produced oncolonies and onboard )ollywood "essels in colony fleets. nother big fa"oriteparticularly on 3ola/ are radio dramas.

Sports are still a great source of entertainment to many. Traditional sports such as basketball and soccer are still played. mong some of the Hmodern sports are cosmo$ bike racing, Tornado Crush and macroni5ed Meltran pro$wrestling. There#s stillskateboarding and other Hteen pastimes.

It is important that since most of earth#s culture that was sa"ed came from a predominantly Napanese cultured area. s such, many Hlow$brow entertainments such aswestern$style cartoons !en @ Stimpy, Stripperella, etc/, (ritish comedies acontradiction/ and the like no longer exist in mainstream entertainment. This is not to sayall animation in Macross is anime$style or that there are no Hdry or Hdumb comedies



left, but they are less common. -ramas and soap operas still remain popular. In the late01>1Ps, a new form of "ariable fighter combat racing called an7uish becomes popular.

!overnment 8 The 'ew 6nity +o"ernment is an thenian -emocracy with ahealthy streak of pragmatism. The masses canPt be allowed to make the defensi"edecisions, but they are well cared for. <ocal go"ernments are elected by the ci"ilian

population, but can be o"erruled by the 6' military in an emergency. good example ofthis is the Macross B fleet. Mayor Miriya Nenius is in charge of the City B section unlessthe fleet is under attack, in which case all control goes to Captain Maximillian Nenius.

Civil Rights 8 The ci"ilians en%oy many of the same rights and freedoms seen inthe late 01th Century. Some rights such as freedom of religion and expression areunchanged, but some other rights are modified to become practical. Citi5ens of all typesare allowed to "ote and own land. &eople are re7uired to ha"e a license to own handguns,rifles or shotguns, and anything else is highly illegal. More information on this is inSourcebook ;.

Me"ical 8 (y use of the &rotoculture cloning tanks reco"ered from 3entraedicapital ships after Space 9ar I, the 6' was able to repopulate the ?arth with people,

plants and animals in a relati"ely short time4 not to mention ha"ing the population to send021,111 people with each colony fleet. In -ecember of 01=1, widespread use of cloningis banned due to the increase of children#s hereditary diseases. Cloning still remains inuse for indi"idual cloning needs. Jther medical technology has impro"ed as well. Mostma%or illnesses ha"e been cured, and the lifespan of humans has increased toapproximately ;11 years A1 is the new =1/.

Cybernetics 8 Cybernetics are largely used for medical replacement rather thanaugmentation. )owe"er, the legality and usage of cybernetics "aries by colony or fleet.For instance, on the Macross Frontier fleet cybernetics are illegal, while on the Macross+alaxy they are renowned for their ad"ancements in cybernetic technology.

Propulsion #ystems 8 The SS$; brought with it "ery ad"anced sublight enginesand superluminal capable dri"es hyperspace engines/. These ha"e allowed humans toexpand their Hempire to neighboring worlds for the sake of preser"ing our race. lsohelpful is the anti$gra"ity engine and artificial gra"ity on ships without them ha"ing touse rotating decks. In the colony fleets, e"en ci"ilian cars @ trucks are capable of short$range space tra"el in between the larger colony ships. 6' space fold generators arecapable of tra"eling at up to ; light year e"ery A minutes. 9hat the fold dri"es of the 6'Spacy, 3entraedi and other races do is push the ship into hyperspace4 a dimensionad%acent to our own dimension, but one where distances are far smaller.

ll capital ships ha"e sublight dri"es that can reach around 1.01 of the speed oflight, roughly A;,121 km per second some Meltran ships can tra"el faster than this/.They rarely tra"el at this speed, as mecha are unable to keep up, being only able to attaina maximum atmospheric thrust of around Mach 00 the latest FPs./ lso, weapon rangesdo not exceed ;A2,111 to ==1,111 km, and combat would be impossible at such speeds.Tra"el at this speed does maintain the problem that something 2 mm in si5e being able to punch through a ship#s hull as it tra"els at sublight speeds and destroying the entire ship,hence the reason why starships feature magnetic shields that function the same as a planets atmosphere in pushing asideKrepelling minor space debris. The magnetic shieldsof "essels are not strong enough to contain an atmosphere but they do protect against



micrometeorites. This shield has nothing to do with the pinpoint barrier systems, andremains acti"e as long as the ship has power.

Jne of the other great disco"eries found within the crashed S-F$; were the anti$gra"ity generators sometimes referred to as contragra"ity dri"es/. fter initial problemsusing them, the gra"ity generators were not ade7uately secured in place and ripped

themsel"es free of the ship/, the 6' Spacy made good use of anti$gra"ity in all of itsships which negated the regular problems of getting ships into orbit from the ground and"ice "ersa. These antigra"ity dri"es can allow a ship to ascend or descend in a gra"itywell up to >11m per second.

$eaponry 8 The &rotoculture o"ertechnology seemed to be fond of energyweapons and reaction weaponry. lmost all mecha and capital ships ha"e some sort ofenergy weapon, ranging from the head mounted point defense lasers of the F$; series tothe hea"y particle beam cannon built into capital ships sometimes referred toaffectionately as Hthe Macross main cannon/. Mass pro%ectile weapons are mainlyhuman$si5ed weapons and the gun pods of the "ariable fighters. Missile technology hasalso ad"anced greatly, ranging from basic Hfire and forget missiles to the )igh

Maneu"erability missiles )M/, which can dodge attacks against themsel"es whilechasing their target. !arely used are the reaction warheads, which re7uire appro"al from6' Spacy ).

Armor % Alloys 8 The super resilient metals used for the structure and armor ofall capital ships, mecha, and e"en many important structures referred to in Macross asHhyper carbon alloy/ is another product brought to us by the rogue Inspection rmygunship. (asic hyper carbon alloy is Hstandard armor by definition of Mekton 3eta &lus,although other le"els of armor alpha, beta and gamma/ are used in elite F units and ascommand armor, being too expensi"e for basic units.

Artificial &ntelligence 8 Many low$le"el I are commonplace in the cities andcapital ships, usually cleaning units or mobile soda machines and cameras for takingmementos in parks, and the autopilot built into almost all "ariable fighters. The upperle"el I are strictly enforced, particularly after the Sharon pple incident in 01>1 withthe LD$+host unmanned fighter and the whole Macross City. Some fleets of the 6' stilluse drone fighters although they are not as common.

'olographic Pro(ection 8 This is used hea"ily in colony fleet "essels to simulatea day$night schedule to keep colonists from becoming depressed about being in deepspace. It is also used extensi"ely in concerts and for ad"ertisements in the streets. The



military also uses it in command rooms and in the holographic cockpit to display all sidesof the mecha. The mecha of Sound Force also use it to distract opponents with a pyrotechnic display. )olography also can be found in designer fashion clothing that becomes highly luminescent in darkness or capable of changing colors or displayingimages on the material. irtual idol Sharon pple used ad"anced holography that could

simulate the sensation of being touched through by using low$le"el energy fields tostimulate skin where Htouched. )olographic technology also finds use in entertainmentfor "ideo games and costumes such as the costume hall )ikaru and Minmei went to inthe -G!< mo"ie/.

"ucation % !ala)y *et+or, 8 The bulk of ci"ilian education is carried outthrough the irtual 'et a sub$di"ision of the +alaxy 'etwork/, although pri"ate in$homeschooling is common. s 7uoted in Macross B Trash Hschools were mostly for the socialand sports e"ents. Military education takes place at a military instillation or a (eginhillClass Military Training Ship while in a colony fleet. 9ith ad"ancements in computersand holographic technology it was ine"itable that the internet would also benefit fromthese ad"ances. The internet, known now as the +alaxy 'etwork, after 01>1 is a"ailable

both in a flat screen format and in a "irtual reality goggle format allowing people to fullyPinteractP with the websites that they browse.Money 8 fter Space 9ar ;, the earth economy as a whole was %ust plain gone.

t first things were pretty much done by bartering, howe"er, e"entually as ?arth rebuilt,they brought back money Hyou can#t ha"e an economy without cashR fter debatingwhether to use the 6S- or the Gen, it was decided on a uni"ersal monetary systemwithout minted cash, usable on ?arth and any colony 8 the credit. Jne credit is more$or$less the e7ui"alent of ; 6S- something that would normally cost around U;1 6S-would cost about ;1 credits/. Most aligned worlds, including 3ola, ha"e switched to thecredit to make trade smoother. Since no credits are physically minted, e"erything iselectronically accounted, and therefore harder to counterfeit.

Computer Controlle" Cable 8 This is a useful technology in which microarmatures are wo"en throughout cable so that a computer can Hanimate them. Thisallows computers to change connections without human inter"ention. These areextremely helpful when an rk !oyal needs to reconnect to the colony ship it attaches to,or for high$speed cable changes for computer connections. In the Sharon pple incident,Sharon used such cables to try to strangle Myung Fang <one.

-niversal Translator 8 This system translates incoming transmissions and relaysthem on audio in a language of the user#s choice. This is typically used to translate into6' Standard language. Most non$Terran languages on file are 3entraedi based, althoughmost translation matrixes can decode and translate a language gi"en enough time.

ther /its of &nformation 8 The people of Macross use the metric system andmilitary time as standards. ?arth Standard Time is set at Macross City in laska.

Chapter 2 – Macross #ystemMacross 0121 uses a "ariation of the Fu5ion system, using 2 mental stats, 2

physical stats, and 0 Hother stats. These base stats ha"e a normal maximum of ;1,although it is possible to raise all except ?-6 up to 01 with +M permission/. lso, allstats except ?-6 ha"e a minimum score of 0 unless the character has some type ofdisability.

&rimary StatsIntelligence 8 This measures how naturally smart the character is. Characters with

a low I'T ha"e trouble understanding concepts beyond simple math, while those with a

high I'T score can usually figure out e"en complex ideas with a little effort.Cool 8 This is the ability to remain calm in combat, resist mental domination andgeneral willpower. &eople with low CJJ< tend to be high$strung and easily bullied,while those with high CJJ< aren#t bothered by much.

Technical bility 8 This may seem like it o"erlaps with ?-6 or I'T, but T?C)represents general Haffinity with electronics and machines. 9hile a person may not beo"erly intelligent or ne"er went to school, they can be a genius with machinery.

&resence 8 This stat represents the person#s charisma and sense of self. personwith a high &!? commands admiration andKor respect, while those with low &!? areusually ignored or shunned.

?mpathy 8 9hile this may seem the same as &!?, ?M& is used more for ;$on$;situations dealing with people directly. )igh ?M& means the person is friendly and most people get along with them, while low ?M& represents a withdrawn or uncaring person.This stat is also used to determine the character#s mental stability stat.

ttracti"eness 8 This is simply the character#s physical attracti"eness. 9hile itcan be argued that Hbeauty is in the eye of the beholder, a person with a high TT! isgenerally going to be more sought after for sexualKromantic situations than someone witha low TT!.

)its determine how much in%ury a character can suffer before they need medicalattention or are in danger of dying. -etermining )its uses the character#s (J- stat.There are two methods of figuring )its.

Pool Method 8 6sing this method, simply multiply the character#s (J- by ;1 todetermine how many )its he has. ny specific limb damage or loss is at the discretion ofthe +M. Location Method 8 6sing this method, check the character#s (J- stat with the table below to determine how many )its each location of the body has. If a limb suffers



damage to bring it to 1 )its, that limb is reduced to a mangled mess until medicalattention is gi"en. If a limb suffers 21 more damage than it has )its, that limb isclipped of course, loss of the head is instant death/. This method still adds up to the sameamount of )its as the pool method, but it is simply more specific.

If you ha"e access to other Fu5ion or Interlock material, there is no reason youcan’t bring in some of the psionics, aliens or magic. )owe"er, there is also no reason to

bring them in. In the Macross saga, there was ne"er any indication of anyone ha"ing psionic powers, and definitely no magic powers. Cybernetics were "ery rare early on, and barely did the %ob of the original. If you really want the carbon plague from

Cybergeneration to sweep o"er one of the colonies to create cyber$e"ol"ed, go ahead 8it#s your game4 e"en if it ne"er happened in the Macross canon storyline so don#t expectany material about it here/.

Chapter 4 – Character CreationThe player should first choose what race they wish to play. The standard options

are human, full blooded 3entraediKMeltrandi, X blooded 3entraediKMeltrandi, Y blooded3entraediKMeltrandi or 3olan. ?ach race has different ad"antages and disad"antages thathelp to define what that character would be talented at.

First, the player should decide the character#s affiliation. Is he in the 6' Spacy:Is he a ci"ilian: Jr maybe he is a member of an nti$6' terrorist group from one of the

colony planets:Second, the player has A1 points heroic le"el/ to distribute to the twel"e attributes

a"erage 2/, and then modifies them according to racial modifiers. ?xcept for ?-6, allmust be a minimum of 0 before modifications. The stat of ?-6 has a minimum of 1. Thenormal human maximum is ;1, with B$E being the typical upper limit. The humanQa"erageQ is 0$=.

The third step is to choose a %ob template. ?ach template pro"ides a list of skillsa"ailable to be learned by that particular %ob. The player has >1 skill le"els to distributeamongst these skills, but is not re7uired to in"est skill le"els in them all, e"en though it#srecommended. Some templates grant free He"eryman skills.

Fourth step is to select Hpick$up skills 8 that is, skills the character learned in his

spare time or from training on the side. Maybe his F pilot took extra training inengineering so he can repair his own "ariable fighter, or e"en to get a pay raise workingon capital ship engines during peacetime. The player can learn skills outside the oneslisted under his template, and can not spend these pick up skill le"els on the skills pro"ided in his template. The character has skill le"els e7ual to their ?-6 x= for theseHpick$up skills.

Fifth step is to select perks, talents, and complications. lso, !ank determinesresources as follows 6' Spacy, police, and other military characters earn a monthly paye7ual to their !ank perk/ times 011 credits =21 for officers/. Ci"ilians earn 011 credits plus their primary occupation based skill times ;11 a cargo pilot with &ilot 2 will earnB11 credits per month/. ll characters start out with 0 month#s worth of pay in sa"ings.

Characters with the 9ealth perk gain additional funds e7ual to one month#s worth ofadditional resources. Characters get >2 J& to customi5e their character with backgroundsor increase skills and stats.

The last step is to purchase e7uipment and finish the details of the character suchas place of birth, height, weight, etc. 'ormally characters ha"e a limit of ;1 on all statsand skills, although racial bonuses may increase this beyond ;1. Truly exceptionalcharacters may be able to increase a skill or stat beyond ;1 through J&, but the absolute



limit is 01 if the +M allows it, and is encouraged to say no/. Macroni5ed 3entraedi ha"edifferent stat limits see Sourcebook 0/.

#+itching Templates

'ormally, switching templates presents no particular problems. The charactersimply spends time learning the new skills. This takes approximately ; month per skillthat the character does not already possess, and he then purchases at least ; rank in thoseskills. If the character already has all of the listed skills, then it still takes a flat rate of ;month to learn the particular details.

For example, )ikaru Ichi%yo was a skilled ci"ilian pilot who %oined the 6' Spacy.)ikaru spent a few months to complete basic training, and then took an additional monthto learn the "ariable fighter systems e"en though he was already more skilled at flyingthan most other recruits.

?"en if a character has all of the skills of a particular template, such as a pilotha"ing all of the skills of the mechanical engineer, he is not obligated to switchtemplates, nor is he automatically considered a mechanical engineer e"en if he does parttime work as such.

A"vancement

Instead of ha"ing experience le"els like in many other games, characters simplyuse their J& to increase their stats and skills. This gi"es the character a sense of growthas he becomes 7uicker, smarter, stronger andKor more skilled. The +M can deny acharacter#s ad"ancement in a particular skill or stat if he feels the character has made noreal use of the skill i.e. checking email doesn#t count as Husing the Computer 6se skill/.Increasing a Stat <e"el to increase to x2 raising from 2 to A is =1 J&/Increasing a Skill <e"el to increase to up to ;1, after ;1 it costs x2 raising from ;1 to ;;is 22 J&/ (uying up 9ardrobe @ Style from > to 2 costs 2 J&OIncreasing Spiritia Skills <e"el to increase to x= raising from 2 to A is ;E J&/Increasing psychic abilities <e"el to increase to x0 raising from 2 to A is ;0 J&/

Minma)icus

Most "eteran gamers are familiar with a term known as Hmin$maxing. 9hat this

means is getting maximum or near maximum "alues for stats most important to thetemplate and lea"ing minimum "alues in less useful stats often referred to as dumpstats/. 9hile making a competent and useful character actually re7uires this to somedegree a medical doctor isn#t going to ha"e a low I'T, but doesn#t need a high ST!/,excessi"e abuse of this should be taken full ad"antage of by the +M.

For instance, a destroid pilot doesn#t need high le"els of &!?, ?M& or TT!,thus these are likely dump stats for a powergamer. The +M is encouraged to gi"e playerswith a character with stats of = or less plenty of grief o"er their choices. pilot withTT! ; will likely get an unglamorous nickname such as H6gly Noe, or get %okecomments from fellow pilots such as Hhe#s too ugly to die or Hhe should fight without ahelmet to scare the enemies.

To combat this problem, the +M can assign minimum "alues to represent7ualifying for an occupation. -octors may re7uire I'T A or better ob"iously, but the +Mcan say they need ?M& A or better to represent bedside manner. The anime and mangaoften show training manuals or other examples of meeting re7uirements. The +M canalso make campaign minimums, such as saying no stats below > are allowed %ust tomake things fair to e"eryone, after all why would the QheroesQ ha"e crappy stats:/.

#,illsSkills are broken into groups according to their appropriate stat that they use.

Some skills re7uire certain le"els of competency before certain things are attemptedsurgery or mecha mechanics4 re7uire mathematics/, while other skills simply mean the

character is better at their skill than those with lower ranks of that skill wardrobe @style/. few skills are listed in more than one group, meaning there are multiple ways ofusing the same skill i.e. &!? based seduction relies on personal magnetism, while ?M& based seduction relies on sensiti"ity and understanding the other person#s needs, andTT! based seduction is simple raw sexuality/.

Some skills are considered to be Hdifficult and thus cannot be raised abo"e fi"eranks at character creation. These skills may only be raised during game play and aremarked on the list with an asterisk W. eterans see Sourcebook ;/ can raise this limit byspending more time in ser"ice.

Jccasionally the +M may pair up an alternate stat with a skill if the situation isunusual. For example, swimming is normally a (J- skill, but the +M might ha"e the

player use -?L for making a precision di"e or use ST! while trying to haul anunconscious person to shore.

For instance, if two people are trying to seduce the same woman, and the +M

6sing the abo"e example, if both players critically fail their seduction rolls on thewoman, e"eryone in the area takes notice and they may well be ridiculed for months onend on their lack of knowing how to treat a lady.Success "s. Failure

This is where things get good, when one person does beautifully and the othertotally bombs.

by most go"ernment and military organi5ations, and tends to be H7uick [n dirty fighting.Martial arts co"ers the mostly oriental/ ancient fighting styles that ha"e specialtechni7ues, allowing the character to learn special attacks.

(rawling is sloppy and has no techni7ues. It is simply an aggressi"e attempt at pulping your opponent without getting your ass handed back to you. This is commonamong gangs, bar regulars and poorly$trained anti$6' forces or ci"ilian rebels.

)and$to$)and is taught by most formal military and police institutes. It is muchmore refined than brawling, but lacks the fancy techni7ues of most martial arts, being boiled down to the essentials. This can also be thought of as a combat form that onlyteaches what is needed to take down an opponent with the least amount of energyexpended. This is common among professional military, and most 3entraedi ha"e acouple ranks of this inherently.

Martial arts includes all of the speciali5ed combat forms, primarily from theorient. +ranted there were hundreds of non$oriental martial art forms, but with the loss ofmost of the people who practiced them when the 3entraedi annihilated the earth, onlythose carried by the sur"i"ors were able to be handed down. See Chapter 2 Combat formore information on martial arts. Martial arts are not common among anyone in

particular, although Meltran aces and special forces training borders closely to this rank.9restling is primarily a sports skill, but can be used in place of other combat

The player, ?mily, decides a character concept first, and settles on a bridge officer4 specifically anoperations officer. The "arious Macross anime portrays the bridge officers as being young women, so the player decides on a ;D year old human female. From here she can make up the Hfluff information such asheight, weight, appearance and birthplace.

The second step, the player allots A1 points to the character#s stats. (ridge officers focus on the

The player, Neff, decides a character concept first. )e likes the concept of the Meltran ace pilots,and decides on a full$blooded Meltran that had been %ust recently absorbed into the 6' within the last yearor two and is facing some aspects of culture shock.

Chapter D – CombatThis chapter contains the rules for combat, for all scales. The bulk of this chapter

is copied whole$cloth from Mekton 3eta and a few bits from Cyberpunk 0101,Cyberpunk =.1 and (ubblegum Crisis as needed/, with modifications and special rules pertaining to the Macross uni"erse. If you ha"e the Mekton 3eta book, you can use the prettier charts found from pages EE to ;1D.



Sourcebook Jne will ha"e additional combat tactics used by the 6' militaries,while Sourcebook Two will co"er tactics used by the 3entran and Meltran forces.

The /asicsThese are the basic rules that need to be understood for combat.

Roun"s

ll combat in Macross takes place in a series of rounds, with each round lastingapproximately ;1 seconds.

&nitiative

t the beginning of each round, all players roll ;d;1 !?F or M! CombatSense or other modifiers. The person with the highest initiati"e total acts first, then thesecond highest, and so forth. ll parties make one action, then after e"eryone has madetheir first action, e"eryone makes their second action in order. dditional actions areresol"ed in the same order.

In the e"ent that two or more characters tie for initiati"e, the one with the higher!?F or M! goes first of the two. If the !?F or M! is the same rank, both players roll;d;1 and the highest roll goes first ties keep re$rolling until someone wins/.

If a character uses an action or both/ to dodge, he does not ha"e to wait for hisinitiati"e to do so. Certain defensi"e maneu"ers do re7uire they take place on thecharacter#s initiati"e order.

Turns % Actions

The character#s opportunity to take action is called a turn. Jn any gi"en turn, thecharacter may take two actions without penalty, and can take additional attacks notactions/ with each subse7uent roll suffering a cumulati"e $2 penalty to the roll total. More

information on the "arious actions is below.

9ith one action, the character may

• Mo"e up to his full M either ground or flight/

• ttack once fire one weapon or group of crosslinked weapons, kick, etc/

• -odge, ?"ade, ?scape or -itch

• +et up from a prone position

• !eplace an ammunition clip

• &ut away a weapon

• <ift or carry something

• 6se a non$combat skill roll such as Tactics or ?lectronic 9arfare

• ?%ect or bail out safely/

• ?nter a mecha and get it running

• Transform a mecha without efficient transformationThe following actions are 7uick enough that they do not re7uire an action to perform

• &arry with weapon, shield or &(S/

• Mo"e up to half his full M either ground or flight/, limit of once per round

• Transform a mecha with efficient transformation, limit of twice per round



• ?%ect or bail out emergency/

• Take out or drop a weapon

I Can#t MissRt some point, players will come across attack rolls where they can#t miss and

don#t re7uire a roll. Some will try to abuse multiple attacks and call for =1 additionalattacks that round4 since they don#t ha"e to roll, the penalties become pointless.

To put a curb on this nonsense, the +M is encouraged to use the following rule

• Characters cannot make additional actions beyond their base of two actions iftheir !?F is 2 or less, they simply lack the coordination. t !?F A they mayattempt a =rd action with a $= penalty. t !?F E they may attempt a >th action witha $A penalty. t !?F ;1 they may attempt a 2th action with a $D penalty.

Attac,ing

To attack, the character adds his !?F or M! rele"ant weapon skill ;d;1. Ifthe attacker rolls higher than the defender, he hits4 if the defender rolls higher, the attack

misses. Many weapons ha"e a 9 9eapon ccuracy/ modifier that ad%usts the attackroll. If a target is immobile or does not make a defense action, the - to hit is ;2 unlessthe +M decides the target is unusually small see called shots/.

0o"ging % vasion

To dodge, the character adds his -?L -odge @ ?"ade ;d;1 and must exceedor tie the attack roll. 9hile dodging in a "ehicle or mecha, use the appropriate &ilot skillinstead of -odge @ ?"ade. If the player is unaware of the attack, they cannot add their-odge @ ?"ade or &ilot skill to the roll.

-odges ha"e no penalty from front attacks, but ha"e a $; penalty on flankingattacks and a $0 penalty from rear attacks.

Parrying

&arrying is usually a last$ditch effort, since if the parry roll fails, the target will behit ignores near$miss rules/. Shields may parry any type of attack, while melee weaponsmay only parry other melee attacks. &arrying can only be done against attacks from thefront and the flank of whiche"er side the shieldKweapon is on. 9hen parrying with aweapon, the weapon#s *ills are treated as its S& such that each * of damage parriedreduces the weapon#s *ills by one */. Missiles and any area of effect or blast weaponscannot be parried.

&arrying rolls are -?L Melee ;d;1 or M! Mecha Combat ;d;1. &arryingwith a weapon adds the 9, and parrying with a shield adds the -.

parry roll must be used to successfully block an attack with a mecha$scale &&(system. Capital ship &&( Hparries are done with a Crew uality roll or -?L !eflectorSystems ;d;1.

Maneuver Pool

)ighly skilled pilots gain bonus M& points for maneu"ers. These work a bit like<6C* points in that the player must declare that he is using M& points before he makeshis roll, and then must spend at least ; M& on the total e"en if he does not need to.



For e"ery point of Mecha &ilot the character possesses o"er 2, she gains oneHphantom luck point each round for any piloting roll piloting, dodge, parry/. Somemecha pro"ide a M& pool bonus. This multiplies the pilot#s M& by the allotted amount.6nused points do not carry o"er into subse7uent rounds.

For example F pilot with Mecha &ilot ;1 gains fi"e M& points each round for

any piloting roll. If she were to pilot a F with M& ;11, she would ha"e ;1 M& points per round. If she pilots a F with M& 011 she would ha"e ;2 M& points.

Attac, Ranges

ll ranged weapons are listed with their effecti"e combat range, to which theymay fire with no range penalty. !anged weapons ha"e a maximum range, e7ual to theircombat range s7uared range x range/, to which they may fire with a $> range penalty.For instance, most of the +6 gunpod series weapons ha"e a combat range of 2 hexes, butthey can fire out to 02 hexes at a $> penalty.

Some weapons ha"e the <ong !ange trait. Such weapons can fire up to theirmaximum range with no penalty to hit. Jne example is long$range missiles. They ha"e a

combat range of ;0B hexes A=21 meters/. They can fire out as far as ;A,;0D hexesE1A,>21 meters/ with no penalty to hit. Most capital ship weapons are effecti"ely longrange, but ha"e sufficient power to keep it within combat range.

0amage

9eapons inflict either a set amount of *ills for mecha scale or inflict a dice poolof )its for human scale. !oadstriker$scale mecha sometimes see a mix of *ill and )itweapons. More information is found in the cross$scale combat section below.

#topping Po+er S&/rmor pro"ides an amount of S&, or stopping power. 9hen an attack hits a target,

the damage is reduced by an amount e7ual to the armor#s S&. For instance, a mecha withS& 2 armor gets hit for B *ills of damage4 the armor stops 2 *ills, so only 0 *ills get in todamage the internal ser"o.

Martial Arts % -narme" CombatMartial arts grant bonuses to certain attack or maneu"er types. ?ach martial art

has a cost multiplier4 which means that the person with martial arts must pay the normalcost to increase his martial arts skill by the multiplier. (esides the ob"ious benefits tosome maneu"ers, he may add his martial arts skill to all damage totals. This list is fairlyshort and simple4 if you ha"e access to Cyberpunk &acific !im you can use the extendedlist of martial arts found there.Martial rt #tri,e >ic, /loc, 0o"ge Thro+ 'ol" scape Cho,e #+eep !rapple*arate 0/Nudo ;/(oxing ;/Muay Thai >/Choi <i Fut =/ikido =/*ung Fu =/Tae *wan -o >/

In fact, any bulletsstopped by ballistic mesh inflict bruise damage rather than wound damage.

Some systems of Fu5ion will refer to armor as S& for stunKbruise damage or *-killing defense/ for killingKwound damage. They are interchangeable.

Movement

$al,ing Mecha

6sing a mecha#s legs for propulsion has three ad"antages o"er flight. First, youmay mo"e up to half your ground M in combat each round without using up an actionor mo"e your full M and get one action with no penalties. Second, you can attempt togain co"er while on the ground. Third, because leg mo"ement is relati"ely slow, the player suffers no 9 penalties for high$speed combat.



9alking does ha"e some difficulties on less than fa"orable terrain. For instance, amecha trying to wade through deep mud only mo"es at one$third of its normalM rate.

Terrain M &enaltyJpen grass, pa"ement, shrubbery, plains, etc./ x ;K;

on the ground. 9heels add 0 ground M on a mecha but re7uire relati"ely le"el groundto work on. Treads add no M bonus, but they do not suffer terrain M penalties onanything other than water and swamp. 6sing either system takes up one action regardlessof the M mo"ed.

9hen dri"ing, the following modifiers are used. Modifiers are cumulati"e4 thusdri"ing down an icy road when it#s snowing and the dri"er is hurt is - 00.

<ump(ets

Nump%ets are defined as thrusters that ha"e M less than E. 9ith %ump%ets, thecharacter can mo"e up to their full %ump M with one action, but will always land on theground or some other surface. The character can use the M of his %ump%ets with a single %ump, or se"eral smaller %umps as long as the total distance does not exceed his total Mcapability.

In a 5ero$+ or microgra"ity en"ironment, %ump%ets can function as normalthrusters at a rate of half their M per action used i.e. M A %ump%ets can function asM = thrusters, but an action must be used each round to maintain mo"ement/.

Attac,ingThe mechanics of attacking are listed under the basics abo"e/. This part co"ers

all the extra little things a character can do while attacking.

Calle" #hots

6nless a called shot is made, the attack will hit the TorsoKMain )ull locationexcluding failed parry rolls/. Called shots allow the character to deliberately strike other

locations that may be weaker or more important to disable 7uickly. If a called shotmisses, the attack misses completely rather than simply hitting the TorsoKMain )ull.<ocation 9 &enaltyrmK<egKTailK&od $=)ead $>9eapon $>Thrusters $>Sensors $2



JtherW $2W This includes "ery small targets such as weaponKshield mounts, headlights and

the like.

Range" $eapons

For clarification, ranged weapons re7uire the defender to be in range, within theweapon#s firing arc at the beginning of your turn, and you must ha"e <JS. The +M mayallow the character to fire blind through obstructions with a $2 9 penalty and onlyinflict half damage excluding missiles or blast ammunition/. Some weapons are madefor indirect fire and ignore the <JS rule.

Automatic $eapons

9eapons that ha"e a ( can be fired in either full or semi automatic modes. 6sedin semi$automatic mode allows the attacker to fire a single round assume 2 single rounds per ammo count/ and make called shots. 9eapons on full$automatic cannot make calledshots.

Mecha weapons with a ( that list an ammunition count means the weapon firesthat many bursts, and ignores the abo"e 2$round burst rule. 6nless specified in theweapon#s description, such weapons cannot make single$round shots.

(urst FiringMany pro%ectile and energy weapons ha"e a (, which indicates that the weapon

fires a burst of multiple rounds. For each number o"er the number needed to strike thetarget that the roll is made, the target suffers an additional hit from the weapon at the basedamage, up to the ( "alue. Thus with a (> weapon, if the player needs a ;2 to hit anopponent and rolls a total of ;B, not only does he hit with the primary round, but also hitswith an additional 0 rounds one for ;A and one for ;B/ and damages the opponent a totalof three times, possibly in different locations.

d%usted (urst Firingutomatic weapons may also be used to fire a Hspray across multiple hexes.

These hexes must be ad%acent to each other. -i"ide the ( by the number of hexes firedinto to see how many shots go into each target, with any left o"er amount automaticallygoing into the first hex fired on. For instance, firing a (A weapon across 2 hexes willfire two into the first hex and one into each of the remaining hexes.

To hit the targets, the attacker makes a single attack roll, while each defendermakes a defense roll as normal. ?ach target is sub%ect to normal ( rules at half theweapon#s normal ( rounded down. Firing a spray takes up 0 bursts worth ofammunition rather than %ust one.

?xtended (urst Firing9eapons with a ( can typically fire an extended burst. Jne such instance is in

the beginning of Macross when )ikaru continuously fires his gunpod at a !egult in onelong burst until the ammunition is expended.

n extended burst re7uires both attacks for a round and pre"ents the attacker frommaking any defense rolls. The extended burst expends four bursts of ammunition and



increases the ( of the weapon by ;11. If the extended burst is maintained, eachsubse7uent attack roll gains a 0 9 bonus.

In the abo"e example, )ikaru holds down the trigger and expends four bursts ofammo to increase his +6$;; to (A. 6nfortunately, he was unskilled in mechaweaponry and wasted most of the shots.

#hotguns

Shotguns use slightly different rules than other firearms. Single barrel shotgunsinflict normal damage to two locations of the target use the chart below/. -ouble barrelshotguns can either inflict normal damage to two ad%acent hexes or inflict double damageto a single target. For example, a double barrel shotgun can inflict ;d;1 damage to twolocations on two targets in ad%acent hexes, or inflict 0d;1 damage to two locations of asingle target.d;1 <ocations )it;$0 Torso @ )ead=.> Torso @ <eft rm

2.A Torso @ !ight rmB.E (oth <egsD.;1 Torso x0

Roc,ets8 Missiles an" Torpe"oes

6nlike all other weapons, a mecha can fire off an entire rack or possibly multipleracks of missiles in a single attack unless otherwise specified in the mecha#sdescription/. This means an opponent can suddenly find himself up against sal"os of upto ;11 or more missiles at onceR barrage of missiles is referred to as a sal"o or "olley,or affectionately called QMacross missile massacreQ. Called shots cannot be made withmissile sal"os, but can be made with indi"idually fired ones.

The attacker rolls to hit as normal. Missile sal"os are treated a little like a (weapon 8 di"ide the total number of missiles fired by ;1 and round to the nearest wholenumber o"er 14 the target is hit by this many missiles for each number o"er the minimumattack roll needed that the attack roll comes up, up to the total missiles fired. Jnce thetotal number of missiles that hit is determined, roll on the random hit table with eachsuccessi"e group of missiles mo"ing up or down the chart by one attacker#s choice/.



?xample The attacker needs a ;2 to hit the target and rolls an ;D. The defender ishit by > groups of missiles. roll on the random table comes up = torso/. The othergroups will hit either locations 0 $ ; $ ;1 or > $ 2 $ A at the attacker#s choice.

9ide ngle Missile Spreads

Capital ships and some mecha/ can fire sal"os of hundreds or thousands ofmissiles in a single attack. This makes the hit rolls to gain full power of their shots nearlyimpossible4 how do you roll ;11 o"er the - to hit to get all the missiles to hit: 9henfiring a large sal"o of missiles 01 or more/, the attacker can choose instead of targeting asingle target or hoping for all missiles to lock onto a target see cross$scale combat below/ to set the missiles to detonate in an area and hit anything there.

Missiles with a blast radius already set will detonate in a pattern that o"erlapssomewhat, granting a (last rating e7ual to half the missile "olley fired. Missiles without a blast radius will get a (last rating e7ual to ;K;1th of the missile "olley fired.

-efense s. Missiles

-efending against missiles can be dealt with in four different methods. ll fourtypes of missile defense re7uire one action per attempt.The first and most common method is to shoot them down. Since most missile

"olleys tra"el within blast radius of each other, shooting down a single missile can potentially take out the whole "olley. To shoot down missiles, the player must use a pro%ectile or energy weapon with a ( burst "alue/ and roll M! Mecha 9eaponry 9 ;d;1 against the attack roll of the missile "olley. If the weapon used is notHphalanx "ariable or Hall purpose, the character suffers a $2 penalty to the roll total. Foreach point that the attack roll exceeds the attack roll of the missile "olley will shoot downone missile assuming that the missiles only ha"e ;* each/ and has a B1 chance ofdetonating the rest of the "olley. "olley of at least Y the missiles to be shot down may be used, but only if the missile is countermissile capable normal penalties if it isn#t/, andhas ;11 effecti"eness in destroying the incoming "olley. !emember that the ad"ancedhigh$maneu"erability missiles can dodge attempts to shoot them down.

The second defense is to dodge the missile "olley. The pilot makes a M! Mecha &ilot ;d;1 roll against the attack roll for the missile "olley. If the pilot succeedsin making his dodge roll, he a"oids being hit for one round. Many missiles ha"e only aone$round tracking capability, although the more ad"anced )M type missiles see TechManual/ will seek the target for multiple rounds. ?ach chaffKflare used in a dodge attemptwill increase the effecti"e dodge roll of the pilot by =.

The third method is to e"ade, or Hditch, the missile "olley. This is more effecti"ethan dodging, but is more difficult. The pilot makes a dodge roll as abo"e with a 8= penalty due to the timing re7uired. For e"ery point on the total roll that exceeds the attackroll for the missile "olley will cause one missile to either Hlose lock or hit other targetssuch as the ground, cliff sides or a capital ship/. ?ach chaffKflare used in an e"adeattempt will automatically distract up to =* worth of missiles.

The fourth method is to use an anti$missile ?CM suite. The player rolls his I'T ?lectronic 9arfare ?CM alue ;d;1. number of missiles e7ual to the ?CM alue plus the amount the ?CM roll exceeds the attack roll of the missile "olley will Hlose lock



and are lost. Many dual$seat mecha are designed to ha"e the passenger take care of ?CMattempts so that the pilot can focus on combat.

Jptional cinematic missile rule If the +M wants missiles to be more of a threat,as shown in the "arious Macross anime, all missiles are treated as Hseek and will follow

their target for a number of rounds e7ual to the *ills of damage they inflict ;d;1 ;0skill/. )igh$maneu"erability missiles will track for an additional 2 rounds ;d;1 ;Askill/.

Crosslin,e" an" Mate" $eapons

9eapons that are crosslinked or mated together can be fired together as if it werea single weapon. Jnly one attack roll is needed, and it counts as a single action.Crosslinked weapons still re7uire an attack roll for each weapon although mated weaponsuse a single attack roll a"erage the 9 modifier/.

Indirect fire is not aimed at a target, but rather a gi"en hex. This has twore7uirements. First the weapon must ha"e a blast rating. Second, the weapon must be ableto fire in an arc 8 thus must be a missile, grenade or pro%ectile weapon. The attacker rollshis +I< thletics 9 ;d;1 or M!

9hat makes indirect fire weapons so dangerous is that the effects of o"erpressure,fragmentation and shockwa"es cannot be dodged. If the defending mecha has a largeshield - 81/ or a &(S he may attempt a parry roll if he hunches down behind theshield and prays for the best. successful parry inflicts half damage to the shield andhalf damage to the Torso.

To use a unarmed or melee attack, the defender must be in the ad%acent hex. llsuch close$combat attacks are automatically called shots with no penalty. This rule onlyapplies to body locations4 extra$special locations such as sensors or eyes must usestandard called shot rules.

Armor Piercing

9eapons and ammunition sometimes ha"e the & 7uality, meaning that thedefender#s armor S& is only considered half round up/ "alue for the purpose of armor penetration. For example, armor with S&2 attacked with & rounds is only consideredS&= to determine if damage gets through to the ser"o underneath.

$eapon 'eating

Many references exist to weapon cooling systems, which of course meansweapons get hot when you fire them. This is an optional rule. 9hen a weapon is fired, itgenerates a certain amount of heat. Jnce a weapon o"erheats, it cannot fire until it coolsdown. 9eapons can tolerate a number of Hheat points e7ual to its *ills x2. burst stillcounts as a single shot for generating heat.

?xplosi"es are the big bang that the military uses to blow up bridges, clearlanding 5ones, destroy buildings and in general make loud boomsR -emolitions is theskill used to utili5e explosi"es in the correct manner.

There is a table below this text with the different explosi"es, their damage perounce applied to a target, the blast radius per ounce, whether the explosi"e type can betamped, and the stability of the explosi"e. There are further tables that ha"e the costs and7uantity of explosi"es, detonators etc. <isted (elow are se"eral different types ofexplosi"es to use as an example.

In which case it becomes more unstable the older it gets. T'T is



manufactured in sticks. Jne stick will cause ;* of damage and has a ; meter blast radius.It must be detonated by blasting cap or fuse. Jpen flame will cause it to detonate. T'Tcan be tamped.

0etonators

-etonators are the items used to set off an explosi"e. There are se"eral differenttypes of detonators a"ailable. From a simple lit fuse to a high tech radio controlleddetonation system. They are listed below.

Fuse Fuses are fast burning threads of flammable material that can actually detonatesome explosi"es or set off a blasting cap to trigger an explosi"e detonation. Fuses can be bought as either standard or water$proof "ersions.Timer nother type of detonator is a timer. It is basically a small stop watch with a blasting cap wired to it. It can be set anywhere from 2 seconds to 0> hours. It is water$ proof.(lasting Cap small explosi"e de"ice similar to a fire cracker that is used to detonate

explosi"es that re7uire a smaller explosion to set them off. They can be triggered byeither a fuse or an electrical current.

Comman" 0etonators

command detonator is one without a preset timer or a fuse. The detonation ofthe explosi"e is entirely up to the person holding the detonation de"ice by pushing a button, sho"ing down a plunger, or turning a hand crank etc. -ifferent types of commanddetonators are listed below.

9ire wire command detonator consists of a wire with a blasting cap on one end and acharging de"ice on the other such as a plunger or clacker. 9hen the charger is acti"ated itsends an electrical current down the wire which detonates the blasting cap.!emote control remote control detonator is much like a wire command detonatorexcept without the wire. ItPs done by radio signal. The range of the transmitter and thenumber of fre7uencies it is capable of working on "aries according to price. The recei"erscan be set to any fre7uency the owner wishes.

Tamping

Tamping is the process by which a charge is shaped and molded or ob%ects placed

o"er the charge in order to direct more force of the explosion into the target. The gameeffect of tamping is that the explosion will cause ;.2 times the normal damage to thetarget. To tamp a charge is an a"erage demolitions skill check. If a charge is tamped, it isno longer considered area effect.

certain bonuses and benefits.In the case of aircraft, including "ariable fighters, this second crewman is a !IJ

radar intercept officer/. This person is trained to run communications, computeroperations, ?CMK?CCM, deploy countermissiles, operate the pinpoint barrier and helpthe pilot in tracking enemy units. )a"ing a !IJ grants both the pilot and !IJ an extra

If either person is replaced, the penaltyreturns until the +M feels the new pair has worked together long enough to regain suchsynergy.

The )9! Monster series of destroids re7uires a crew of three to function properly. This includes the commander, gunner and pilot.

ut:of:#cale $eapon Accuracy

bbre"iated as JS9a, when one scale attacks different scale, there are bonusesor penalties based on the si5e difference. 9hat if you are using a weapon that is not yourscale: For instance, some mecha ha"e anti$personnel machineguns that inflict )its ofdamage. )ow does this work:

6sing a weapon of a smaller scale 9hen you attack with a weapon that is of a smaller

scale than what you are currently attacking as, you ignore penalties but you gain no bonuses.

?xample Gou are piloting a destroid x; scale/ with an anti$personnel x;K;1scale/ machinegun at some infantry. If you were to fire a particle beam cannon x; scale/at them, you would ha"e a $A penalty to hit, but if you are firing the machinegun at themyou would ha"e a $1 penalty because that weapon is scaled to infantry. If you were to firethat same machinegun at another mecha, you would be at 14 you donPt get the A bonusto hit for the cross scale difference.



6sing a weapon of a larger scale 9hen you attack with a weapon bigger than your scale,you still use the cross scale bonus.

?xample If a macroni5ed 3entraedi x;K2 scale/ were to pick up a +6$;; gunpodx; scale/ and fires it at the F$; x; scale/ that dropped it, he would keep his = bonus

for cross scale instead of being 1 for Mekton "s. Mekton. If he were to shoot that samegunpod at human x;K;1 scale/ he would take the normal $= penalty for cross scale e"enthough he is firing a x; scale weapon.

This way, out$of$scale weaponry can ser"e the purpose they were intended forwhile bypassing the min$max abuse that could surface.

lthough they do not appear in Macross, the Mospeada mecha from +enesisClimber Mospeada are a prime example of this rule. They are considered roadstrikerx;K2 scale/ mecha e7uipped with Mekton x; scale/ weapons to gi"e them the firepowerneeded for fighting the Inbit while retaining their cross scale bonuses. They can fire *illrated weapons at x; scale mecha and get a = bonus to boot.

*ear Misses

The out of scale modifiers would seem to indicate that humans are extremelydifficult to hit by mecha weaponry. To an extent, they are. )owe"er, most mecha pro"ideenough bonuses to offset this penalty. Furthermore, if someone in a mecha shoots at ahuman and ties with the defense roll or fails by up to 0, he scores a near miss.

near miss means the attacker hits within 21m of the human target use theindirect fire de"iation table/ and inflicts half damage to the target. If the near miss is witha weapon with a blast radius, the human target takes full normal damage.

lso, a mecha can attempt to pick up or stomp on a human$si5ed target. If themecha makes a successful stomp, the target is instantly reduced to a thin paste on the bottom of the mecha#s foot. human picked up by a mecha can attempt to escape duringhis turn, but the mecha pilot can opt to crush him before the target can escape. Thosewearing ;K;1 scale power armor get their full armor "alue if that makes a difference/.

'its vs. >ills vs. 'its vs. #0P

6nlike in the &alladium "ersion of the game S-C "s. M-C/, a weapon thatinflicts )its damage can harm a mecha with *ills armor 8 it %ust takes a lot more damageto get past the armor#s S&. ?"ery 02 )its will inflict ; *ill of damage, and "ice "ersa.The only real difference is that )its$scale weaponry will not cause *ills armor to ablatee"en if the attack penetrates it#s assumed the attack slipped in between the armorsections/. S-& is the same as )its, but applies to non$li"ing things.

'ote that any )its damage rolled that does not do a full 02 points are lost,eliminating the need to keep track of Hnickel @ dime damage. For instance, a weaponthat inflicts )its damage is used to attack a damaged mecha with only S&0 left on thearmor. The weapon rolls E1 damage work with me here/. The first 21 are shrugged off by the armor since it#s the e7ui"alent of 0* damage4 and the armor does not ablate from)its damage. This lea"es =1 )its to get through. Since ;* e7uals 02 )its, the ser"o takes;* of damage. This lea"es 2 )its of damage that are Hlost.



Con"ersely, if a weapon that inflicts *ills is used against a target with )its, it ishighly likely that the target will be destroyed outright. rmor ablates e7ual to thecon"erted )its damage. For example, a mecha fires a I!M at a con"entional tank. Thetank has 002 S-& with S& =A1 armor, and the I!M inflicts B* of damage. Con"ert thedamage to )its, which is x02 for ;B2 damage. The armor stops the damage but is reduced

by ;B2. 'ext round, the mecha fires another two I!M at the tank %ust to be sure/ foranother =21 )its. The armor#s S& is currently ;E2, reducing the damage to ;A2 that getsinto the structure. The tank now only has A1 S-& left and effecti"ely has no armor. tthis point the tank most likely has taken a critical hit or two and is out of commission.

>ills to 'its 0ice Conversion

It has already been established that any *ills weapon con"erts to )its at a rate of;* to 02 )its. Most con"entional weaponry that inflicts )its is gi"en in dice to make amore random le"el of effecti"eness. Simply con"ert e"ery 2 )its of damage into ;dA orcon"ert the total possible damage into dice that come close to the total. For example, a0* weapon inflicts 21 )its, which can be rolled up as EdA or 2d;1. Typically man$si5ed

weapons use dA while "ehicle or support weapons get d;1. The fixed damage rate is tokeep the game 7uick and simple.

Me,ton #cale vs. Roa"stri,er #cale

side from the bonusKpenalty to hit due to the si5e differences, roadstrikers get a2 M! bonus for initiati"e rolls against Mekton scale mecha. This bonus also applies tomacroni5ed 3entraedi fighting Mekton scale mecha.

Pitching a Roa"stri,er

Sometimes a Mekton$scale mecha will pick up a roadstriker and throw it atanother opponent. The damage is the roadstriker#s ram damage plus bonuses for themecha#s arm ser"o and hydraulics.

0amageJnce an actual hit is rolled and ( is determined, then damage is applied. There

are two methods for this. First, if a called shot was made, the full damage is applied to thelocation of the called shot. If no called shot was made, the attacker rolls on the followingchart to determine where the attack struck.

Armor an" Protection from 0amage

There are two important factors regarding protection from damage in Macrossstopping power and staged penetration.

#topping Po+er

ll types of armor ha"e an S& rating to indicate how much damage it can blockfrom getting past to the person or ser"o it co"ers. ttacks that inflict more damage thanthe armor can stop are still slowed enough that not all of the damage gets through. Forexample, a mecha with S&2 armor is hit by a B* plasma gun4 the armor will stop the first2* of the weapon, letting only 0* get past to the ser"o behind the armor.

#tage" Penetration

rmor in Macross works on the concept of staged penetration. ?ach time thearmor is hit by an attack that inflicts ;* of damage or more, the armor in that location hasits S& lowered by ; regardless of whether or not the armor stops the hit or not. 9hen thearmor#s S& is reduced to 1, then there is effecti"ely no armor left on that ser"o.

blati"e armor is cheaper and not as durable, losing S& e7ual to the power of theattack that hit it. Thus if an ablati"e armor co"ered arm is hit by a =* attack, it loses = S&of armor. More ad"anced armors lpha, (eta and +amma/ take stronger attacks thanstandard armor to cause armor to break off. To get staged penetration on these armorsre7uires attacks of 0*, >* and E* respecti"ely.

Mecha 0amage Results

9hen parts break.



#ervos

9hen a ser"o reaches 1 *ills, it is reduced to a mangled wreck of metal andexposed wiring and effecti"ely loses all weapons and subassemblies in that ser"o. If thecockpit is in a ser"o reduced to 1 *ills, the pilot must make an emergency e%ect roll or bekilled.

Po"

pod has no *ills of structure, although any subassemblies in it might. If a pod#sarmor is reduced to S& 1, it offers no further protection to any contents.

#ensors

9hen a sensor suite is destroyed, the mecha suffers a $> to all rolls unless it has a backup or second system $0 if it has a canopy/.

$eapons

9hen a weapon is reduced to 1 *ills, it is nonfunctional and cannot be used to

attack or parry. 9eapons that contain an internal ammunition clip may or may not besub%ect to an ammunition hit at the +M#s discretion.

Trea"s or $heels

9hen reduced to X of their *ills, the system stops working until the pilot takes atime out and makes a (asic Tech roll at - ;2. t 1 *ills they are destroyed.

Propulsion #ystems

&ropulsion systems themsel"es ha"e no *ills and are 7uite fragile. Since almostall mecha ha"e their propulsion systems split between multiple locations usually bothlegs/ taking a propulsion system hit calls for a random decision which section of the propulsion system is hit. !egardless of how many spaces that part of the propulsionsystem takes up, a single hit trashes the whole section and the mecha loses howe"er muchM that section pro"ided.

For instance, a F$;;C has ;0.2 M in each leg thruster. If one takes a propulsion system hit, the mecha randomly loses the thrusters in one leg and is reduced tohalf of its M4 it may also ha"e flight complications within an atmosphere.

Po+erplant

&owerplant hits are "ery bad for a mecha. Jn a powerplant hit, the pilot rolls ;d;1and on a ; 2 or less for hot engines/, the powerplant detonates. If the powerplant doesnot explode, the LS increases by ; 0 for cold, A for hot/. If it is hit again, it keepsincreasing until the LS reaches ;1 and will automatically explode on the next hit.

If the powerplant explodes, the pilot must make an emergency e%ection roll. Themecha#s explosion functions as an area effect blast weapon inflicting ;d;1 *ills to thehex it is in as well as the surrounding A hexes if it is a cold engine (last ;/. )ot enginesinflict 0d;1 *ills to this same area, and then ;d;1 *ills to the next ring of ;0 hexesaround those six (last 0/.

*eep in mind almost all powerplants in Macross are considered Hhot.



Coc,pit 'it

9ith a cockpit hit the mecha only gets full armor S& if it is fully armored. canopy only pro"ides 0* protection regardless of the rest of the armor, and a saddlecockpit pro"ides absolutely no protection. pilot can make an emergency e%ection rollon a cockpit hit if he wishes. F with its retractable heat shield extended has some

Since "ariable fighters ha"e two or three forms, the damage tables may not alwaysmake sense for the form the F is currently in.

rmsMost "ariable fighters ha"e the arms tucked under the fuselage in fighter form. In

gerwalk form, the arms can either be tucked underneath as with the fighter form, or can be extended out to the sides for use. If an arm is rolled on the hit chart when the arms aretucked underneath, but the attack came from abo"e, roll a d;1 ;$B torso is hit, E$;1 tail ishit/. Models with a left arm$mounted ballistic shield are hit on the shield on an arm hitfrom abo"e while in fighter mode or gerwalk mode with the arms retracted.

?xceptions The F$00 arms are tucked inside the torso in fighter form. ll armhits automatically strike the torso while in fighter form. The F$;B and ($A ha"e thearms on the upper side of the fuselage, so re"erse the angle for determining if the arms

are hit in fighter form.

<egsMost "ariable fighters ha"e the legs tucked underneath and to the rear in fighter

form to pro"ide main thrust for the F to fly. The gerwalk form has the legs extendeddown as normal. If the legs are rolled on the hit chart while in fighter form and the attackcame from abo"e, roll a d;1 ;$2 leg is hit, A$E torso is hit, D$;1 tail is hit/.

?xceptions The F$00 legs are tucked inside the torso in fighter form. ll leghits automatically strike the torso while in fighter form. The ($A legs become the sidesand wings.

9ingsMost "ariable fighters ha"e the wings tucked into the back of the mecha in

battroid form. If a wing hit is rolled on the chart while in battroid form, the attackautomatically strikes the torso unless it originated from behind the mecha.

?xceptions The F$;D series has the wings folded back along the outside of thelegs in battroid mode like skirt flaps and may be hit normally. The F$> and S$2; ha"ethe wings folded along the shoulder and may be hit normally. The ($A has no Hwings per se any wing hit is considered a leg hit.

)eadll "ariable fighters keep the head of the mecha tucked into the middle of the

upper fuselage or the underside next to the shoulder connections while in gerwalk orfighter forms. If a head hit is rolled on the chart while the mecha is in fighter or gerwalkform and the attack comes from abo"e or below as appropriate/, roll a d;1

)ead is underneath ;$0 head is hit, =$A an arm is hit, B$;1 torso is hit)ead is abo"e ;$0 head is hit, =$;1 torso is hit.



9eaponsMany weapons are open in all modes to get the best use of them. +unpods are

typically carried on a weapon mount on the underside of the fuselage in fighter andgerwalk form unless the gerwalk is using the gunpod as a hand$held weapon/.

?xceptions The F$00 and F$;B carry their gunpods in internal weapon bays

due to their stealth functions. If a gunpod is hit while in fighter or gerwalk modeassuming the weapon is stowed/, roll a d;1 ; gunpod is hit, D$;1 leg is hit.

The !:6actor +undam FactorOIn many mecha anime, there are multitudes of mecha that blow up with a single

shot. This is an optional rule that is intended mainly for handling the hundreds orthousands of Hbackground mecha the characters may be up against.

The rule is simple. !oll ;d;1 each time an attack penetrates armor by at least ;*.If the roll is higher than the remaining ser"o *ills, that ser"o explodes. Short and sweet.This rule should ne"er be used against the player characters. For different si5ed targets,

simply Hscale the dice as appropriate ;d;1x;1 if penetrated by ;1) or more for human,;d;1x;1 if penetrated by ;1* or more for cor"ette, ;d;1x;11 if penetrated by ;11* ormore for starship, ;d;1x;111 if penetrated by ;111* or more for excessi"e/.

Roa"stri,er RulesFor the most part, roadstrikers use the same rules as Mekton scale mecha, but

ha"e some minor changes because of their si5e differences. Macross itself showed noroadstriker class mecha, but this table finds use in the Macross 0121 sourcebooks such asSouthern Cross and Mospeada.

#tarship RulesThese rules include cor"ette, starship and excessi"e scale "essels and some of thelargest mecha.

#tarship vs. #tarship Combat

Most battles between capital ships are o"er in %ust a few short minutes. The sheerfirepower that most capital ships can bring to bear will shred another capital ship inminutes, e"en with a pinpoint barrier. fleet "s. fleet battle will typically last longer



since there is more to be destroyed and it is not uncommon for multiple capital ships toall target the same opponent which will waste shots. flagship will typically ha"e theHIn"incible trait, which pre"ents it from being destroyed casually see Tech Manual fordetails on this/.

#hip &nitiativeTypically a ship will act after all other mecha ha"e taken their actions, althoughthe players# ship will get to roll initiati"e. Multiple ships can roll initiati"e to determinewhich among them acts first or roll once for each side in a fleet "s. fleet battle/.

#hip Actions

Since a ship has an entire crew to make it function, a ship is not limited to thenumber of actions it may take other than weapon firing rates. -uring a single combatround, a ship can do any or all of the following

• Mo"e its full engine M

• <aunchKreco"er mecha up to ;K;1th of its total compliment

•Fire any or all main weapons

• 6se pinpoint barriers to deflect incoming attacks

• 6se CI-S to attack mecha that get too closeShips do not take extra action penalties since each function is handled by one or morecrewmembers and the assistance of the ship#s systems.

Capital #hips % 0o"ging

9hen people and mecha dodge, they completely a"oid damage unless the weaponhas a blast radius. Capital ships are too bulky to dodge entirely, howe"er on a successfuldodgeKe"ade roll, a capital ship can turn %ust enough to take a glancing blow and onlysuffer half damage. Typically a capital ship will rely on its &&( system to ward off

attacks.Capital ships get to make a defense roll against mecha attacks for the purpose of

determining if a mecha scores a critical hit.

'eavy Particle /eam Cannon vs. Pinpoint /arrier #ystem

This massi"e weapon can destroy small fleets with a single shot. pinpoint barrier system can block all damage from one if > or more indi"idual shields are layeredto block the beam. The &&( operator must make a !eflector Systems +I< ;d;1 rollagainst a - 01 to succeed4 failure means the barriers were not stacked in time and thatcapital ship is now space dust.

Missile #+arms vs. Mecha

9hen a starship fires a "olley of missiles at a group of mecha, ;d> missiles fore"ery ;1 to 01 fired will lock onto each a"ailable target, up to the amount fired. If a



capital ship fires a "olley of missiles and there is only a single target nearby, 21 of themissiles fired automatically lock onto their target. Missiles use the same defense rules asabo"e, there#s %ust more of them.

#hip 0amage Results

9hen a ship takes a hit, the )ull automatically takes the shot unless there is acalled shot for another location. If the attack roll beats the defend roll shields ormaneu"ering turn/ by 2 or more, a Critical )it is scored and the following table is used;d;1 Ship )it <ocation;.= !andom 9eapon> CI-S or phalanx system2$A Sensor rrayB$E ?nginesD Crew;1 &owerplant

Jptionally, small turret weapons get ;K;1th the normalS& of the ship. *eep in mind that most capital ships ha"e do5ens or hundreds of weaponsystems.

Special note about hea"y particle beam cannons because of the energy capacitorsof such a massi"e weapon, treat the destruction of this weapon as a powerplant hit at LS2 E if fully charged to fire/.

C&0#

?ach time the CI-S takes a hit, it suffers a 8; 9. 9hen the 9 reaches 8;1,the system is disabled. The CI-S gets full armor S&.

#ensor #uite

?ach time the sensors are hit, the ship suffers 8; 9 to all weapons, excludingthe CI-S. 9hen the system reaches 8;1 9, the ship loses all fire control. Sensors getfull armor S&.

ngines

?ach hit on the engines reduces the ship#s M by ;dA. 9hen the ship#s Mreaches 1, it is Hdead in the water. ?ngines get full armor S&.

Cre+

?ach crew hit causes the ship to lose ; off of all dice rolls due to loss of internalcontrol. If the penalty e7uals the crew bonus such as -$+rade getting to 8E/, then theship lacks sufficient crew to do anything other than maintain critical systems. If the penalty exceeds this "alue by > or more, the entire crew is considered to be dead.



Po+erplant

&owerplant hits are resol"ed the same as those for mecha, although ship powerplants are always considered to be )ot LS 2/. &owerplant hits get full armor S&.

!:6orce

Flight re7uires consideration of three ma%or factors. The first is the "ehicle in7uestion. ?"en the best pilot in the galaxy is in gra"e danger if there is a ma%or electricalor mechanical failure. The second is oxygen. t higher altitudes, the air is too thin to breath, and ob"iously there is none in space. ll 6' mecha ha"e pressuri5ed cockpits aswell as a flight suit with emergency air supply, while original 3entraedi mecha ha"e %ustthe air supply in their armor. The third consideration is physics.

The +$forces can easily be thought of as a weight multiplier. For instance, at =+s, a 2E.2 kg man effecti"ely weighs ;B2.2 kg. 'ow this means when performing high$+maneu"ers, it can force blood away from the pilot#s brain and cause blackouts. pressuri5ed flight suit has air bladders, or more sophisticated systems in later years.These bladders press against the body during high$+ maneu"ering, which in turn forces

the blood back to the brain.)ow much can a person take before it#s too much: Consider an a"erage person

with (J- >$2. This person can handle = +s safely. t > +s, he#s pretty much %ust alongfor the ride. t 2$A +s they will start to get tunnel "ision and there will be static at thecorners of the eyes, and concentration becomes difficult $= all skillKstat checks/. t B$E+s, the pilot will pass out. t D$;1 +s, the pilot will feel the hurt and take ;$0 )its perround to each body location from internal damage. nything o"er ;1 +s will inflict;dA0 )its per + o"er ;1/ per round to each body location and is considered lethal. Thisdamage can be reduced through body toughness, but ignores any kind of armor.

proper flight suit allows the pilot to withstand B$E +s for hours at a time, and upto ;1 +s for ;$0 turns at a time. 3entraedi and Meltrandi are designed to be tougher. )alf$

blooded 3entraedi can withstand ; + to each threshold. Full$blooded 3entran canwithstand 0 + to each threshold and full$blooded Meltran can withstand = + to eachthreshold. Thus a full$blooded Meltran ace pilot can withstand up to ;= +s before it becomes lethal ;> +s/.

Jk this all assumes Noe "erage with (J- 2 is a pilot. 9hat about the tougher orweaker guys:

(J- Safe !ide Strain (lackout )urts <ethal

;$= 0 = >$2 A$B E D

>$2 = > 2$A B$E D$;1 ;;

A$E > 2 A$B E$D ;1 ;;

D$;0 2 A B E$D ;1 ;;

;=$;A 2 A$B E D ;1 ;;;B$01 A B E D ;1$;; ;0

These modifiers stack. Thus, a full$blooded Meltran ace with ;0 (J- canwithstand ;>+ before its lethal.



MechaJk what about mecha: lmost all "ariable fighters ha"e a +$force tolerance

listing. ?"en if a pilot can withstand high + forces due to stamina and pressuri5ed flightsuits, the mecha might not be able to handle the same stress on its %oints and structure.

For each turn that a mecha is exceeding its maximum +$force tolerance, it suffers

;* damage to each location affected per ; + o"er limits due to sheering effects and possible atmosphere friction. d"anced armor takes this damage once per number ofturns in accordance to its class alpha takes ;* e"ery 0 turns, beta takes ;* e"ery > turns,gamma takes ;* e"ery E turns, ablati"e takes 0* e"ery turn/.

For an example, see +uld#s fight with the L$D in Macross &lus.

uter #pace9hen fighting in outer space, certain considerations must be made. Further

optional rules concerning en"ironmental ha5ards of space will be found in Sourcebook =The +alaxy.

Capital #hipsIt#s assumed they were designed for use in space and ha"e no modifiers. )owe"er

if a na"al "essel ends up in space, such as the &rometheus and -aedelus, they cannotmo"e under their own power and will drift in a random direction. ttacks of ;1* per hullclass or stronger will knock the "essel in the opposite direction at ; M per ;1*, as will(last weapons that catch the "essel in the radius of effect smaller blasts do cause theship to mo"e, but it#s negligible/.

Mecha

Most mecha ha"e space en"ironmental modifications, so sur"i"ing in space is notmuch of a concern. Those few atmosphere$only mecha ending up in space will suffer a $0

penalty to M! and M due to the lack of micro$"erniers to stabili5e their mo"ements.Furthermore, if the ser"o containing the cockpit typically torso/ is breeched any hit that penetrates the armor/ the pilot must roll <6C* at - ;0 or be exposed to hard "acuumand die unless they are wearing a sealed space suit or flight suit see below/. Firing a ballistic weapon or missiles will cause the mecha to mo"e in the opposite direction at aM e7ual to the *ills of weapons fired. The +M may ignore this if only laser weaponsare fired if he wishes.

mecha that has no thrusters but has "erniers can fly at a M e7ual to themultiplier cost of that mecha#s "erniers i.e. a mecha with x1.0 cost for "erniers can fly atM 0 in space/. mecha with no "erniers but has thrusters suffers a $0 M penalty toflight rolls, which is cumulati"e with the penalty for not ha"ing space en"ironmental

modifications. Mecha with neither will be knocked adrift by attacks and mo"e at a Me7ual to the *ills of damage inflicted4 if the mecha has either, the combat computer willautomatically engage them to counterbalance the effect.

People

Jb"iously a person exposed to hard "acuum without a space suit will die in anumber of rounds e7ual to half their (J- statW. Macroni5ed 3entraedi can sur"i"e for anumber of rounds e7ual to their (J- stat due to their tougher bodies. Macroni5ed



3entraedi high command are genetically enhanced to withstand such punishment and cansur"i"e for a number of rounds e7ual to ;.2x their (J- stat. 9hen exposed to hard"acuum, a person takes ;dA )its to all body locations per round from radiation and flashfree5ing4 meaning the person could die from in%uries long before he asphyxiates, althougha macron would likely sur"i"e it.

&eople in space must either rely on "ernier thrusters or use the 3ero$+ Mo"ementskill to get around. 9ithout thrusters, a person can mo"e no more than M ; in space orin a capital ship without artificial gra"ity. Those with the 3ero$+ Mo"ement skill maymake a skill check at - ;2 to mo"e at half their base M round up/.WIf you want the more realistic and gri55ly numbers, refer to Sourcebook = for galacticha5ards.

!roun" 5ehicles

If any of these are put into space, they are most likely going to drift uselesslysince they aren#t designed for use in space. Treat them as mecha with no "erniers orthrusters. -on#t forget there would be no oxygen for the internal combustion engines to

work with and the gasoline would likely free5e or turn to gel.

Aerial 5ehicles

Such "ehicles are designed for use in an oxygen$based atmosphere and will be powerless in space, especially helicopters. ?"en if the "ehicle in 7uestion has athermonuclear powerplant like a mecha, most do not ha"e space en"ironmental sealing.

-n"er+ater9ater$based combat also has some special rules. This can include fighting in deep

marshes or swamps as well as open bodies of water. ssume any combat in waters up tothe combatants# waist le"el is Hunderwater except for weapons abo"e water le"el.

$eapons

9eapons underwater are typically less effecti"e than they are elsewhere.&ro%ectile weapons ha"e their damage, range and speed reduced by half, and the waterdisrupts the path of fire so that the weapon suffers a $0 9 penalty. Flamethrowers,flareKsmokeKgas missiles and similar weapons are ineffecti"e underwater. Missiles ofother types ha"e their range, damage and speed reduced by half, but automatically gain(last ; or ; to existing (last radius. ?nergy weapons are reduced to an effecti"e rangeof > 011m/ and inflict ;* less damage for e"ery hex 21m/ tra"eled. Melee damage isalso reduced by 0*. 7uatic torpedoes are designed for such use and suffer no penalties.

Capital #hipslmost all capital ships are designed to land in water and remain afloat, and will

do so as long as they ha"e not taken more than X of the hull#s total *ills in damage.Capital ships sitting in water can use their secondary engines to mo"e them at roughly ;1knots for docking with other ships. If they need to mo"e long distance or faster, it is moreefficient to use the antigra"ity dri"e to lea"e the water and land elsewhere.



Mecha

Most mecha are capable of sur"i"ing depths up to ;11m, but do not function wellunderwater. ll mo"ement, whether it is leg ser"os or thrusters, is reduced to ;K= normalM. -estroids and other mecha without thrusters cannot swim or mo"e other than ha"ingto sink to the bottom and walk out or be dredged out by a reco"ery craft. Mecha without

"erniers suffer a $0 M! penalty.If a mecha without underwater en"ironmental sealing takes damage to the torsoser"o while underwater the mecha will begin taking on water and will start to sink unlessit surfaces immediately. Mecha without underwater sealing suffer a $0 9 penalty on allattacks, which adds to the penalties listed under the weapons.

Conventional 5ehicles

ny na"al "essel such as boats and submersibles are designed for water use andignore water penalties. If other "ehicles without the amphibious trait enter the water, suchas cars or airplanes, they will begin to sink immediately. This causes engines to swampwith water, the crew compartment floods, and electronic e7uipment is fried. Jnce such a

"ehicles sinks, it is a goner.

Amphibious % #ubmersible Craft

Some &Cs and aircraft are designed to float on water, and will be able to float aslong as they ha"en#t taken external damage below the waterline. Submersible "ehicleswill always ha"e underwater en"ironmental sealing, and will likely also ha"e high pressure en"ironmental sealing. Mecha and "ehicles without high$pressure sealing willsuffer an additional 0* damage to any attack that penetrates their armor as the pressurecontinues to crumple in the armor around the breech.

Chapter E – #piritia

Spiritia is a spiritual life energy found in most life forms 8 animals, plants, peopleZ nd before the conclusion of the arautaK6' Spacy war, the &rotode"ilnneeded to steal it to sur"i"e. This brings in a new stat

Spiritia S&I!O is a character#s ability to store and use spiritia energy withinthemsel"es. ll people are assumed to ha"e a S&I! rating of ;, although it doesn#t costany points and doesn#t need to be recorded on the character sheet. This is to representtheir natural ability to heal both physically and mentally. Characters also ha"e asecondary stat of Spiritia &ool, which is S&I! x01. Most characters don#t know they ha"espiritia, how to use it or e"en that it exists, and will ne"er likely ha"e a higher S&I! stat.t the +M#s discretion, exceptionally li"ely characters might ha"e a S&I! rank of 0.Most large animals man$si5ed or bigger/ will typically ha"e a Spiritia &ool of =$;0, and

most small animals will maybe ha"e one point.

Music and Spiritia9hy do songs influence spiritia and deli"er spiritia effects: It is known that

spiritia is life energy, and it is also pro"en that many types of songs influence emotions.9hen the right emotions are increased, it causes a like increase in a person#s life energy.This is why when most people hear a fast paced song they feel more energetic, and slowsongs are calming.



Songs are not the source of spiritia, but they ser"e as a good focus for the creati"eenergy that spiritia represents. It is not known if the ancient &rotoculture used song tochannel their spiritia or if they had more spiritual foci for their powers. It is know that theanima spiritia can generate a form of spiritia that is Qtoo pureQ for &rotode"iln to absorb,which causes them weakness, confusion, pain and can e"en disrupt their own spiritia

stores.

Sound ?nergy-r. Chiba disco"ered the link between music and spiritia generation in 01>A

during the Macross BKarauta war. Chiba named this energy Hsong energy and ismeasured in HChiba Song 6nits. ?ach point of spiritia is roughly ;,111 song energyunits.

Chiba first de"eloped the sound energy con"erter4 a backpack si5ed unit worn bymembers of Sound Force. This de"ice allows the singer to con"ert sound energy into physical effects and to help channel spiritia powers. ?"entually this is attached to the seatof each of the *ai mecha. Initially it took a few moments of singing to Hcharge up

enough sound energy to acti"ate the sound energy system, but as the members of SoundForce de"eloped their power, they were able to acti"ate the de"ice on a moment#s notice.The sound boosters that were later de"eloped for the *ai mecha amplify the

powers of Sound Force. To acti"ate the sound booster re7uires the singer to charge up;11,111 units of Hsong energy or ;11 spiritia points4 again re7uiring a charging timeinitially and then nearly instant after the members become more proficient with their powers.

Sound ?nergy Con"erter This is a smaller "ersion of the Sound ?nergy System designed for personal use.

It works not unlike an ?S&er <ens that enhances the user#s spiritia powers. This is listedas 6' Spacy military e7uipment as it was designed and built by the science team of theMacross B fleet and is not a"ailable to the public.

9hat this de"ice does is this for e"ery ; point of spiritia expended by the wearer,it boosts it as if 2 points of spiritia were spent. It takes 2 points of spiritia to acti"ate thede"ice, and will remain acti"e until the wearer stops all spiritia powers. Furthermore, it pro"ides a 21 to all spiritia power ranges. 9hen a spiritia power is used, the characteris surrounded in a nimbus of energy. The color of this energy will often match the currentemotional state of the person using the power pink for lo"eKaffection, purple for %ealousy, and so forth/.

Sound ?nergy System HSound (oosterThis was a mecha scale de"ice de"eloped to further boost the spiritia powers of

the pilot. This was used in con%unction with a S?C, which was later built into the seat ofthe Nammingbirds and the Sound Force units. The Sound ?nergy System works not unlikean ?S&er <ens that enhances the pilot#s spiritia powers.



This unit ups the con"ersion rate of the S?C to ;1 spiritia points per ; spiritia point spent and re7uires ;11 spiritia points to acti"ate. <ike the S?C, this stays acti"euntil the pilot ceases all spiritia powers. For lower le"el characters, this will take a fewrounds of using the S?C to get enough spiritia generated to empower the S?S. This alsoamplifies the ranges of all spiritia powers by x;1.

Spiritia <oss9hen a person loses spiritia reduced to less than X maximum/, they become

moody and lethargic, suffering a $= penalty on all skill checks. If a sub%ect has theirspiritia forcefully ripped away "ia &rotode"iln or a spiritia drain weapon/ also suffers asubstantial loss of will. For e"ery 2 points of spiritia stolen, the "ictim also suffers a loss

of ; CJJ<. If the attacker continues to drain after the "ictim is out of spiritia, they lose 0CJJ< each round transferring as 01 points of spiritia to the attacker as the "ictim goesHnegati"e/. Jnce the "ictim reaches 1 CJJ<, they go into a coma$like state. 9hile inthis state, they cannot reco"er spiritia or heal, and become open to mental suggestion andare easy to brainwash effecti"ely no resist roll/, as well as running the possibility ofdeath without medical attention they won#t eat on their own/.

Spiritia -rain



Spiritia drain is especially dangerous for &rotode"iln since it is one of the onlyways to actually harm or kill them. Ma%or &rotode"iln suffer a loss of si5e and strength ifthey lose too much spiritia see indi"idual &rotode"iln entries in Sourcebook 0/. If a&rotode"iln is drained to 1 spiritia, they are not slain, but rather they become dormant andcan be sealed away. If a &rotode"iln with 1 spiritia is sub%ected to drain, they will suffer

2* per round to all Hser"os until completely destroyed. See the &rotoculture sourcebookfor more information about the &rotode"iln.

Spiritia (oost9hen a person takes in enough spiritia that it raises their total abo"e their normal

maximum, they feel a great burst of energy and enthusiasm, gi"ing them a 0 bonus onall skill checks and they fatigue at half the normal rate. Furthermore, the person goes intoa bit of a manic streak and can#t settle down, suffering a $0 penalty on any rolls thatre7uire focus and delicate work, or attempts to relax or meditate. ?xcess spiritia pointsare lost at a rate of 0 spiritia per hour.

Spiritia !eco"ery!eco"ery of CJJ< comes first, usually at the rate of ; point per week4 or ; point per day if the sub%ect is exposed to a strong spiritia source or something uplifting such asmusic +M discretion/ or sub%ect to the spiritia healing power. fter the sub%ect hasregained his full CJJ< stat, he begins restoring his spiritia pool e7ual to his S&I! stateach day. Jnce he has restored his spiritia pool, he is back to his normal li"ely self. Sucha sub%ect can return to daily acti"ities once he regains at least X of his spiritia pool, but issluggish and unenthusiastic $= to all skill rolls/.

Spiritia &owersCharacters must ha"e a minimum Spiritia stat of 0 to acti"ely use any spiritia

power other than ?nhance !eco"ery. The most powerful of spiritia users are referred to by the &rotode"iln and arauta as Hanima spiritia, a title coined back in the time of theStellar !epublic. Spiritia powers work similar to psionics see Mekton 3eta &lus/. ?ach power has a spiritia point cost to acti"ate, and many ha"e maintenance costs that must be paid at time inter"als listed under each power. Certain powers are unsuitable for combatwithout a S?S booster system to magnify them, although certain situations can cause a person#s spiritia powers to amplify themsel"es without a sound booster.

?ach spiritia power is treated much like a skill4 each can be bought up to amaximum of ;1 ranks. To use a spiritia power that is not automatic, the character mustmake a S&I! spiritia skill ;d;1 roll at a difficulty set by the +M unless it is acontested roll see Skills abo"e/. Increasing a spiritia power costs twice as much as anormal skill.

The anime showed some spiritia effects not detailed here such as (asara#sreaction to follow +raham on 3ola/. The +M can feel free to cause any Hincidentaleffects he needs for plot de"ices.

#piritia in the Macross #aga

Macross 8 The original story was set =2 years before -r. Chiba theori5ed the power ofsound energy and its link to spiritia, but Minmei most definitely tapped into its potentialwhich inspired Chiba#s work/. Minmei did not ha"e the same power le"el that (asaralater de"elops, but she does cause many 3entraedi in rlitwhai#s fleet to defect to the sideof the 6'. s stated by ?xsedol Hher song has awakened a genetic memory of our lostculture, one that we must not be allowed to lose again. This kind of trigger would not

occur with [%ust a song#, and was most likely a spiritia reaction.

Macross Plus 8 Sharon pple is an ad"anced I with self awareness, but she is not trulya li"ing being. s such, she does not ha"e any spiritia powers. Sharon used subliminalsuggestion through her holography and music to ensla"e the citi5ens of Macross City.Myung did break Isamu out of Sharon#s hypnosis with her own song, but it is unlikelythat Myung possessed any spiritia powers.

'ote about Sharon pple and spiritia it may be possible she had spiritia powers,since in the Macross B series the arauta picked up spiritia readings from recordings ofFire (omber being played, and also their recordings helped to bring early "ictims out oftheir coma states. So it may be possible for mechanically producedKtransmitted spiritia

effects4 albeit on a weaker effect.

Macross F 8 It is in this part of the Macross saga in which spiritia is defined and sees themost use. Jn board the Macross B fleet, -r. Chiba comes up with the theory of soundenergy and creates the sound booster and sound energy system for the Sound Force andNammingbirds. -uring the war with the &rotode"iln and arauta many indi"idualsdisplay spiritia powers (asara, Mylene, effidas, and the Nammingbirds.

Macross ?ero 8 Set two years before the e"ents of the original Macross, this story doesseem to follow the spiritia concept. The priestess of the island of Mayan, Sara, displaysspiritia powers e"en though she is unaware that she possessed any such power. )er song

causes the regeneration of plants around her and caused the marked rocks at the spring tofloat around, as well as causing the reacti"ation of the ancient &rotoculture relic on theocean floor near the island.

Macross 6rontier 8 There is no mention or indication of spiritia in this series. Instead,songs and emotions are pro%ected "ia space fold wa"es produced by fold 7uart5 or theType infection.



thers 8 Se"eral of the Hofficial Macross "ideo games detail a Minmei ttack in whicha rogue 3entraedi fleet is disrupted by holographic and audio pro%ection of Minmei oranother cute idol singer/. The effects are mostly %ust culture shock, although using thesame theory for mechanically transmitted spiritia see Macross &lus abo"e/, it is possiblethat some type of spiritia effect is created with this stratagem.

lso used in making this game are 7uotes and screenshots I took from the "ariousMacross animated series, music soundtracks and "ideo games.

6A % rrataThis should co"er any possible 7uestions that might arise and will need to be

addressed.

8 9hy does characterO ha"e certain "alues for their stats or skills: 8 For most of the characters done for the &alladium game, I con"erted their stats andskills o"er as closely as possible, with corrections for *e"inisms. For all others, I basedtheir stats and skills on what they showed in the anime. Most stats were figured as thecharacter was intended rather than how many people "iew them. dditionally, manycharacters from the original Macross seem "ery incapable compared to later informationabout them for instance Miriya being an expert at knife$fighting in the comics, butlooked somewhat sloppy in Macross/.

8 9hy do books for Macross II, Southern Cross, Mospeada, Mega5one 0= and!obotech if they aren#t part of the official Macross canon storyline: 8 ll four of these ha"e been fore"er linked to Macross in one manner or another, sofor the sake of completeness I added them. lso, they offer interesting possibilities ifused in parts for story elements. &lus, I was bored.

8 9hy does this characterKmechaKshipKetcO ha"e a different name than I recogni5e: 8 There#s a couple possibilities.

First being that this game uses Macross names, not !obotech 'ames. Thus youwill ne"er see any reference to !ick )unter or <isa )ayes since their names are )ikaruIchi%yo and Misa )ayase.

The second possibility is that some names had multiple romani5ations. Forinstance, the supreme leader of the 3entraedi fleet has been spelled as (odol5a, (odol5aa,and (oddole 3er. rlitwhai has also been spelled as (reetai, both being pronounced thesame. 9here possible I used the most common spelling and listed alternates in their profiles. nother issue is minor spelling differences, like <inn "s. <ynn and Minmay "s.Minmei. In concern to 3entraedi names, there were some romani5ations used that wereintentionally bi5arre to make the 3entraedi that much more Halien.

nother issue is with the Napanese !$< issue. Is her name Miria or Milia: Is herdaughterPs name *omiria or *omilia: <ikewise, is the other characterPs name Clan Clan,Clan Clang, *lan *lang, *uran *uran or *lan *lein: In most cases I took the mostcommonly used names, or the official english translation from the Macross websites.

In the case of capital ships, some ship classes were actually the names of

indi"idual ships in that class4 such as the 6raga being an rk !oyal class ship.

8 9hy isn#t particular characterO listed: 8 ?ither I forgot or the character was considered too minor to gi"e stats for. lso, I didnot list certain characters specific to some of the side stories and "ideo games because itis highly unlikely for those '&Cs to be encountered. For the most part, I ga"e stats and background for bridge crews and main characters4 people most likely to interact with&Cs.

8 9here is South taria Island: 8 It is the southernmost tip of the Jgasawara Islands in the 'orth &acific.

!eal$life 'ote The southernmost tip of the Jgasawara Islands in the 'orth&acific is Minami Iou Nima or HSouth Iwo Island. lthough it is approximately the samesi5e and shape, its unfertile sulfur soil composition is unlike how South taria Island is portrayed. Coordinates 0>', ;>;?

8 particular F model wasn#t included in the mecha profiles, but it was in the modellisting. 8 Some models had no differences in Mekton stats. Jne example is the differences between the F$;; and F$;;(, that were mostly cosmetic. (oth ha"e the same statsand costs, so there is little reason to list profiles on both. 'otes are added to a particularentry if there are other models with the same Mekton stats.

8 9hy are there mecha and ships listed that I thought didn#t exist: 8 Jk, in particular there were some upgraded mecha and ships that were created in the0101#s to 01=1#s in a couple of "ideo games for the &C and Turbo +rafix ;A console.This includes Macross Scramble alkyrie, Macross !emember Me and Macross ?ternal<o"e Song. These games present four indi"idual 3entraedi three 3entran and oneMeltran/ fleets that attack the Sol System in 01=A and 01=B but are ne"er mentioned inthe official storylines. Nust because the anime didn#t co"er them doesn#t make them lessimportant to the story.

Fortunately, canon e"ents do help support these e"ents. -uring the attacks in 01=Aand 01=B, Isamu -yson was transferred to the lunar base pollo and then to the earthdefense fleet, respecti"ely. It would make sense that the 6' would want their best pilotsdefending earth from such enemy forces.

8 9hy is there contradicting information in regards to Space 9ar I: &articularlyconcerning <aplami5: 8 -o Gou !emember <o"e was a film about Space 9ar I, created by the citi5ens fromthe S-F$; that premiered in February of 01=;. The film became an enormous successand re"i"ed the Minmei (oom the same year. It influenced later portrayals of Space 9ar



I and inspired many 6nited 'ations citi5ens including 'ekkei (asara, a pi"otal figure inthe &rotode"iln 9ar 01>2 March$01>A February/. 'ote that the real mo"ie of -G!< isthe Hsame mo"ie made by the S-F$; citi5ens.

For propaganda reasons, the film de"iated from the historical e"ents. 3entraedifemale commander Moruk <aplami5 was intentionally portrayed as a commander of an

entire QMeltrandiQ main fleet separate from the (oddole 3er Main Fleet, in order toemphasi5e the existence and danger of main fleets besides the (oddole 3er Main Fleet.The mo"ie populari5ed the 3entraedi term QMeltrandiQ for female 3entraedi in general./The mo"ie employed the 0ast River training ship to portray (oddole 3erPs mothership,using holography to alter the shipPs outer appearance.

&roduction 'otes Se"eral episodes of Macross > , particularly episode ;;QMinmei ideoQ/ and the third unaired episode QFleet of Strongest 9omenQ/, excerptedthe Do *ou Remember LoveH film. This film purportedly produced within the world of Macross has se"eral differences from the similarly named film, The .uper Dimension

5ortress Macross !the Movie& Do *ou Remember LoveH ;DE>/. The 01=; film in the Macross world has Max and Miriya fighting in space, which did not occur in either the

;DE> film, or the first Macross series ;DE0/. It also portrays Max and Miriya#s marriage,which was not included in the ;DE> film.For those characters and mecha that ha"e large changes between the T and

mo"ie "ersions.Jne ma%or instance is regards to <aplami5. I wrote her into this !&+ specifically

as her mo"ie "ersion, commanding her own fleet of Meltrandi. In the T series she wasshown as the subordinate of uam%in, e"en though there are se"eral references to the3entraedi and Meltrandi not working together.

<ast of all, nearly >1 years of rebuilding has passed since then. -on#t forget thatthe earth was annihilated in 01;1. If it took the 6' go"ernment almost >1 years to findrecord of the F$1 pro%ect, it#s not so hard to accept that records of the war might not becompletely accurate most records would come from the S-F$; crew, and would likely be full of misconceptions, propaganda and guesswork/.

8 9hat are some of the alternate spellings and romani5ations: 8 )ere is a partial list. I probably won#t list e"ery possible "ariation, especially!obotech changes. The creators specifically romani5ed the 3entraedi names to be as alienas possible, as they are neither merican nor Napanese. 'ame 6sed lternates3entraedi 3%entohlauedy, 3entradi, 3entrady, T#sentraetiMeltrandi MeltohlaundyMiriya Miria, MilliaMicrone Micron, MicloneMacrone Maclone+epernich +epernitch, +eperniti?xsedol ?xedore, ?xedolsauam%in uam5in, *am%in*lan *lein *uran *uran, *lan *lan, *lan *langueadlunn ueadluun



8 9hat is the Hsuper"ision army: 8 The Super"ision rmy also translated as Inspection rmy/ is the forces of&rotoculture and their 3entraedi fleets that were dominated by the &rotode"iln after theiremergence. It is presumed that the army was largely composed of the fleet protecting the&rotoculture#s research facility in the arauta system, and that it expanded slowly as the

&rotode"iln dominated more and more of the opposing forces.s the Schism 9ar continued to escalate, one side of the &rotoculture de"elopedthe ?I< series 3entraedi as a means to end the war, only to end up creating a new one.

8 Is it true that during space fold, people become Qlo"ey$do"eyQ: 8 fold is a kind of warp. 9hile mo"ing, it is easy to feel high from tripping out asthe sensation of separation from the ethereal body is a kind of drug. In addition, peoplewho play around ha"e an acti"e sex lifeO appear one after another, because of that lo"elo"e$makingO mode coupled with the feeling of tension from death4 as the act of foldingsits side by side with the act of dying. This state is called QFold <o"eQ. Jr to put itcrassly, space folding tends to make people randy.

nimeMacross, Macross 3ero, Macross &lus, Macross B, Macross Frontier, Macross

-G!<, Macross Flashback 01;0 $ These, plus their side stories, form the core of thisgame.

Mega5one 0= $ 9hile not part of Macross, it gi"es an interesting idea for adifferent type of colony ship setting.

Jrguss $ Get again not part of Macross, but the storyline talks of using a time$space detonation weapon that causes the ?arths from o"er ;11 realities to o"erlap whilethe ?arth is rapidly heating up from unnatural global warming.

Tele"isionThe 6ni"erse $ This series has great information about space and what is in it.The *nown 6ni"erse $ More information on deep space.)ow the ?arth 9as Made $ This series explains how our planet works, and could

gi"e good reference for making information on planets for the campaign.(attlestar +alactica $ grim story about a few ships struggling for sur"i"al

against unrelenting alien forces and internal political factions "ying for power whiletrying to find a new planet to call home... sound familiar anyone:

Stargate 6ni"erse $ Many condemn this series as being a clone of (attlestar+alactica, but it has some interesting ideas for what lies at the boundary of the entireuni"erse.
