(Ship) SDF-1 Macross
Name: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (SDF-1)
Type: Super Robot/Carrier
Mobility Type: Air
Control Type: Manual
Years Running: Zero (Maiden Flight)
Previous Records: The Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, The Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?, Macross Plus, Macross 2
Appearance:
Attack Mode-
Height: Roughly 1200 feet
Cruiser Mode-
Length: Roughly 1200 feet
Armament: Super Dimensional Cannon x 1- A massive particle cannon that fires a beam with a diameter of two miles and a range of sixty thousand miles (double that in space). The beam’s power is such that it will completely annihilate anything in its path short of a ship equipped with shields on par with the Macross’ own Omnidirectional Barrier. It has the potential to wipe out entire fleets with a single blast. However, the sheer amount of energy it requires to fire means that it needs five minutes to recharge after every shot. The Super Dimensional Cannon can only fire when the Macross is in its robot form.
178cm Rail Cannon x 4- Cannons that fire large masses of charged particles. These cannons are a more conventional method of ship-to-ship combat as they do not require anywhere near the energy required to operate as the Super Dimensional Cannon requires to fire. These were installed to replace the original laser cannons that were destroyed when it originally crashed on Earth.
Secondary Beam Turrets x 8- Large turrets that fire beams designed to engage ships at closer ranges than the Macross’ primary weapon systems. They are strategically installed all over the Macross to provide maximum coverage. Up to four turrets can focus on a single target.
Retractable Laser Turrets x 120- These lasers are a defense against missiles and small craft that the larger weapons have trouble dealing with. They are all installed inside the hull and concealed by sliding doors when not in use. Like the beam turrets, the laser turrets are placed to provide maximum coverage. Twenty turrets at the most can focus on a single target.
Daedalus Class SLV-111 “Daedalus”- This super-sized semi-submersible assault landing vehicle attaches to the Macross and becomes its right arm in attack mode. It is capable of holding a large number of mecha (5-7 squadrons) within its own hanger bays.
Prometheus Class CVS-101 “Prometheus”- This super-sized semi-submersible aircraft carrier has been modified to attach to the Macross and become its left arm in attack mode.
Armor: Omnidirectional Barrier Defense System (ODB)- This creates a large, virtually impenetrable energy barrier that covers a spherical area around the Macross with a radius of 3000 feet and can last indefinitely as long as it isn’t destroyed, the main reactor is damaged or it overloads. This barrier is so strong that it can withstand four whole blasts from a Super Dimensional Cannon caliber weapon. There are a few significant drawbacks from using the ODB. One is that the Macross cannot use any of its weapon, launch craft or receive craft while it is up. The other is because of a flaw in the system, the barrier can overload and when this happens, it will cause a massive explosion that will wipe out anything within a radius of a few thousand miles. The Macross will be unharmed by the explosion but it most certainly would require significant repairs to get the shield back up and running again. Its current status is disabled due to damage incurred from its crash on Earth.
Pinpoint Barrier (PPB)- Three energy disks with a radius of two hundred feet that can move all along the surface of the SDF-1. These disks generate an energy field that can deflect the impact of most missiles and medium strength ship fire or they can be combined to deflect larger blasts. This technology has been derived from the remains of the ODB and the fold system.
History: Ten years ago, a large asteroid crashed in on a small South Pacific island. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the asteroid was in fact a giant spacecraft of alien origins. The ship, labeled ASS-1 (Alien Space Ship 1), was excavated, disassembled and studied. Technology gleamed from the ASS-1 was used to develop the veritech fighter as well as various defensive systems and weapons. With BAHRAM’s use of the Solar Cannon on the Earth, GATA decided that the remains of the ASS-1 would be rebuilt as a new super weapon, the SDF-1 Macross, and it would play a key role in the war against BAHRAM. However, the SDF-1 is largely untested and only recently has it reached a level capable of operation. Final trials are being prepared to ready the Macross for battle but the alien technology cannot be predicted and complications are bound to arise.
Special Attacks: Daedalus Maneuver- A technique designed to destroy an enemy ship at close range. The Macross’ three pinpoint barriers to focus over the nose of the Daedalus and then the Macross punches the Daedalus through the hull of an enemy ship. Inside of the enemy, the Daedalus will open its hangar doors and allow the mecha it is carrying to open fire, destroying the ship from the inside out.
Special Features: Fold System- An alien technology that enables faster-than-light travel by essentially creating a wormhole to travel through. It is able to reach speeds of that can travel a light year in six minutes. However, the technology that makes this possible is still not completely understood and is in generally poor repair.
Sublight Engines- A backup for the Fold System, this allows the Macross to travel 38,400 miles per second in space and Mach 2 in an Earth-like atmosphere. The engines were not designed for sustained flight in atmospheric conditions and as such, they can only maintain flight for short periods of time.
Hanger Bays- The Macross has enough hanger space to hold roughly 940 crafts, depending on the size of each craft.
Pilot: A crew of 20,000
