THE
MACROSS RETURNS
TIME-LINE
      This is a way to work in the PC-Engine game Macross 2036,
and the Japanese mini-series and shows Macross II, Macross Plus, and Macross 7 into Robotech.


Early 2048        LOCAL GROUP GALACTIC CONFERENCE is held on Tirol.  Tirol (now home to REF as well as Tirolians), Fantoma (home to remaining Zentraedi) Karbarra, New Praxis, Garuda, Spheris, and Peryton form the Sentinels Alliance.   Remains of REF fleet and other surviving space forces are combined into the U.N. Spacey, the military arm of the Sentinels Alliance.

Late 2048        THIRD INVID WAR ENDS.

2049        ERA OF REBUILDING begins on earth.

2066        First Terran colony established on planet Eden.  Earth reformes the United World Government into the Macross Consortium, made up of Earth and it's colony worlds.

2070        Construction of the Culture Park begins on the old site of Macross City, with a replica of the SDF-1 Macross as one of the first monuments built.  An aviation museum featuring veritech mecha is also built.

2072       Construction of  Macross Cannon 001 begins in secret behind Eden's moon.

2074       Max Sterling's original VF-1A Valkyrie is restored at Eden, for the Aviation Museum.

2075       Amazing personal modifications found in Max Sterling's original Valkyrie.  Engineers now convinced that the original Valkyries can be modified, with modern technology to be better then the current Delta fighters.  Work begins at Eden's New Edwards Air Force Base on the new VF-1R using ideas from the VF-1 series.

2076       Neld Fleet of Zentraedi defolds near Pluto.  General Ross Brown of the RDF High Command makes contact with the Zentraedi, and they strike a deal, offering Gen. Brown the opportunity to ingest a sample of Protoculture, and the promise of dominion over earth in exchange for knowledge.  Gen. Brown passes to the Zentraedi Neld Fleet forces the secrets of stealth technology.

2078       VF-1R Valkyrie completed.  Reviews by Air Force personnel are optimistic towards the new Retro series variable fighter, which has a new anti stealth system to combat some of the rouge Alpha/Beta and Delta fighters.  The technical files of the anti stealth system are copied by Gen. Brown and given to the Zentraedi.

2079        Gen Brown is arrested for treason and swiftly executed.  The RDF is now fully aware of the Neld Fleet.  Factories are re-tooled to produce the VF-R.   The Neld fleet begins attacking Terran outposts and bases.  The Zentraedi fleet moves towards earth, the Shadow fighters are decimated.

2080        Captain Exxagram devises the "Minmay Attack",  steals the SDF-1 and the experimental Macross Cannon from Eden, and use them to attack the Neld base of operation, a Robotech Factory.  Faced by the legendary Macross fortress in front of them, and a Macross Cannon behind them, and the Minmay attack,  4/5 of the Neld fleet flee earth space.  Feeling the VF-1R series did not perform adequately, design proposals for new fighters are reviewed.

Late 2080        The Macross Consortium reluctantly joins the Sentinel's Alliance.

2081        Construction of more Macross Cannons and other new fleet ships begins at the newly captured Robotech Factory.

2082        Design proposals for new Destroid types accepted and manufacturing begins.  VF-2JA "Icaris" and VF-2SS "Valkyrie II" begin to enter service.  They are the main variable fighters of both the United Earth Government's RDF, and the Sentinel Alliance's UN Spacy.

2089        A Robotech Master, Ingues, launches a new assault against Earth and the S.A..  The main Ingues Fleet attacks earth, while the rest assaults the S.A. (see Macross II RPG and Macross II anime).  After the conflict the remaining forces of Ingues, now loyal to their Lord Feff sign a peace-treaty with the S.A., and begin a crusade to stop those renegades still loyal to Ingues, thus starting the "Masters War".

2090        Earth reforms it's government and colonies into the Macross Consortium.

2092        The Zentraedi of Fantoma seperate from the S.A. in order to join Lord Feff in the battle against the renegade Masters still enslaving Zentraedi.  Due to the stipulations of their peace treaty, ( and a total lack of balls) the S.A. stay out of this long and bloody conflict.

2090        The Sentinel Alliance replaces it's VF-2 series veritechs with the new more economical VF-11 Thunderbolt veritechs.  Once again, the SDF-1 is reconstructed not only to serve as a monument, but to be the new headquarters of the RDF, the military wing of the Macross Consortium.  The VF-2JA and VF-2SS are still the main variable fighters used by the Macross Consortium.

2031         A new type of Renegade Zentraedi mecha begins making attack on the outer colonies of the Sentinel Alliance.  The Zentraedi units utilize stolen human technology.  U.N. Spacey Special Forces is tasked with finding the origin of these units.

2140        The events of Macross Plus take place.

2144        The Macross Consortium and the Sentinel Alliance finally agree to provide some aid to Lord Feff's depleted forces in combating those Robotech Masters still using Zentraedi as slaves.  The Master's War continues.

2145-2146 The events of Macross 7 take place.

2147        The events of Macross Dynamite 7 take place.
