Storyline
In the middle of World War III in 1999, an alien ship appears out of nowhere to crash on deserted Macross island. In response to this event, a cease fire is declared and the ship is explored by all the nations of the planet who learn of a potential extraterrestrial threat that could come to retrieve it. In response, the nations of the world unite to create the United Nations Space Navy or UN Spacy for short. For ten years, the ship is rebuilt as Super Dimensional Fortress One (SDF-1) and its technology is adopted for use. On the day of its formal launch, the alien foe arrives as the Zentrani who are determined to retrieve the ship intact for its technology. As Earth defends itself, we also see the personal lives of the crew and residents of the ship as the war profoundly changes them as they fight to stay alive. Meanwhile, the Zentrani learn that their enemy bears an uncomfortable resemble to their creators... Written by Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>

Trivia
During the first episode, when Hikaru flashes back to his days with Roy in the flying circus, we can see Roy's old plane. Written just along the seat is the name 'Kawamori' (the show's creator) See more »Goofs
Miscellaneous: Due to the fact that at least three studios of wildly varying quality worked on each episode simultaneously, many minor continuity errors and animation inconsistencies (for instance in Ep. 3 "Spacefold" where the escape pod under Roy's Valk every so often switches to a gunpod) crop up in each episode.
