Editing VF-1 Valkyrie (section)

===Macross===
In ''Macross'', the VF-1 was developed by [[List of companies in Macross|Stonewell/Bellcom/Shinnakasu]] for the [[U.N. Spacy]] by using alien ''Overtechnology'' obtained from the [[SDF-1 Macross]] alien spaceship. It was preceded into production by an [[aerodynamic]] proving version of its [[airframe]], the VF-X.<ref>Mechanic of Macross: VF-X Prototype. Page 160. ''Macross Perfect Memory''. Reference Book. 260 A4 pages. Minori Library, Japan. Y2800. 1983, October 10.</ref> Unlike all later VF vehicles, the VF-X was strictly a [[jet aircraft]], built to demonstrate that a jet fighter with the features necessary to convert to Battroid mode was aerodynamically feasible. After the VF-X's testing was finished, an advanced concept atmospheric-only prototype, the VF-0 Phoenix, was flight-tested from 2005 to 2007 and briefly served as an active-duty fighter from 2007 to the VF-1's rollout in late 2008, while the bugs were being worked out of the full-up VF-1 prototype (VF-X-1). The VF-1's combat debut was on February 7, 2009, during the Battle of South Ataria Island - the first battle of Space War I, and was the mainstay fighter of the U.N. Spacy for the entire conflict. Introduced in 2008, the VF-1 would be out of frontline service just five years later, replaced by the far more advanced [[VF-4 Lightning III]]. However, the fighter would continue to show its worthiness years later when, during the events of [[Macross 7]], Milia Jenius (a major character in the original series) would use her old fighter in defense of the colonization fleet.
