Spacy]] and the Anti-UN forces, and is also set in the South Pacific, where a gigantic [[SDF-1 Macross|alien spaceship]] crash landed 9 years earlier. Amidst the violence, a U.N. Spacy [[F-14]] ''KAI'' pilot named Shin Kudo is attacked by [[Macross#Variable fighters|a strange enemy aircraft that can transform itself into a robot]]. Crash landing on Mayan Island he learns that this remote island and its peaceful native inhabitants hold [[Protoculture (Macross)#Macross definition|a great secret]] linking them to the [[SDF-1 Macross|alien space ship]] and would become the focus of the war, whether they like it or not. Shin eventually returns to his carrier fleet and joins the Skull Squadron, who also operate brand new transforming fighters, the VF-0 Phoenix. He trains and engages Anti-UN forces operating from a converted [[ballistic missile submarine]] as both sides fight to locate and control alien artifacts, with the peaceful and agrarian Mayan caught in the middle of the war.
