In 1999, a highly advanced alien spacecraft crashed on a South Pacific island, an event that forever altered the history of war-torn Earth. After a decade of research, humanity repaired and rebuilt the spacecraft, naming it the "SDF-1 Macross." Just as humanity basked in pride and joy, the Zentraedi from the depths of the galaxy approached Earth. From the early days of Captain Gloval, Rick, and Max, to the Second Robotech War erupting between the Robotech Masters from Tirol and the Southern Cross Army's ATAC 15 squad led by Dana, and then to the battle for Earth between space-colonizing humans and the Invid, who survived on Protoculture, three successive universe-spanning wars unfolded. Countless heroes emerged, and the epic conflict between humans and aliens spanning over half a century was presented... In 1985, Harmony Gold acquired the North American rights to *The Super Dimension Fortress Macross*. To meet the television broadcast requirement of at least 65 episodes at the time, they re-edited and adapted three Japanese anime series—*The Super Dimension Fortress Macross*, *Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross*, and *Genesis Climber MOSPEADA*—into an 85-episode long-form anime titled "Robotech." The Macross Saga (Episodes 1–36) is largely adapted from *The Super Dimension Fortress Macross*, covering the story of "The First Robotech War" (in-series timeline: 1999–2011). The Robotech Masters (Episodes 37–60) is largely adapted from *Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross*, covering the story of "The Second Robotech War" (in-series timeline: 2029–2030). The New Generation (Episodes 61–85) is adapted from *Genesis Climber MOSPEADA*, covering the story of "The Third Robotech War" (in-series timeline: 2031–2044).
