ROBOTECH CHRONOLOGY
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999 Alien spaceship crash-lands on Earth, effectively ending
|
|
almost a decade of Global Civil War. Originally called
|
|
"The Visitor," the ship is dubbed Super Dimensional
|
|
Fortress I--the SDF-1.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Emil Lang, after an initial recon of the ship (in the
|
|
company of Roy Fokker, Henry Gloval, T.R. Edwards, and
|
|
others), begins to unravel the secrets of an extraterres-
|
|
trial science known as Robotech.

|
|
and reconstruction commences on the SDF-1.

|
|
soldiers during a Flower of Life seeding attempt. The
|
|
Zentraedi Breetai is wounded during the same raid.

|
|
Zor's body, cloning tissue for their own purposes
|

|
|

2032
|
|
(Earth actual) The new Armored Jet Attack Copter VT's are produced
|
|
and readied for the 1st attack wave against the
|
|
alien ships. The attack wave is crippled badly and
|
|
takes refuge on Moon Base ALUCE.
|
|
|
|
On Earth, Dana and Bowie go to the site of the SDF-
|
|
1 and witness the blossoming of the Flower of Life
|
|
in the SDF-1's reflex engines.
|
|
|
|
A second wave is prepared and General Emerson is to
|
|

|
|
chance to the survivors of the first wave to return
|
|

|
|
|
|
2032 (cont) Louie Nichols' Visual Trace Firing System is
|
|
integrated into the VT's weapons systems without his
|
|
consent.
|
|
|
|
The ATAC's are ordered to break through the alien
|
|
flag ship's defenses and attempt to destroy it from
|
|
the inside. Zor, now under the power of the
|
|
Robotech Masters, turns on the 15th and tries to
|
|
capture the squad but the 15th scatters and
|
|
separately explores the entire ship. Bowie finds
|
|
Musica again and both fall in love. Eventually,
|
|
the 15th is captured but are freed by Musica. Zor
|
|
is taken to the Memory Management Lab to be
|
|
reprogrammed. The 15th bursts in and interrupts
|
|
the process during the reinstatement of his
|
|
memory. Zor destroys the core of the ship's power
|
|
causing the destruction of the ship and the 15th
|
|
leaves the alien ship with their hovertanks with
|
|
Musica. Somehow, Zor manages to escape unscathed.

|
The Robotech Masters transfer to a different ship
|
|
to continue their mission for the matrix.
|

|
|
|
|
Nova Satori of the Global Military Police orders
|
|
the arrest and apprehension of the "alien" Musica
|
|
for questioning but is unable to find her. Bowie
|
|
has taken her to the site of the SDF-1 to see the
|
|
Flowers of Life. The 15th follows their trail, in
|
|
turn Nova follows the 15th, and in turn again Zor
|
|
follows Nova. Zor sees the Flowers of Life and his
|
|
memory reawakens and he becomes the original Zor.
|
|
|
|
The Robotech Masters bargain with Emerson's party
|
|
for Zor and Musica to be returned to the Masters.
|
|
|
|
The Masters flagship descends towards the site of
|
|
the SDF-1, hoping to retrieve the matrix before it
|
|
mutates into the Flower of Life, then rendering the
|
|
matrix useless.
|

|
|
flagship results in the loosing of the Flowers of
|
|
Life from the Protoculture matrix concealed within

Upon crossing a desert on his Cyclone, he meets
|
|
Rand, who has just discovered the fallen flagship
|
|
from the Mars Group and was joy riding on a newly

|
engages the scouts and destroys them easily with the
|
|
Cyclone's configurable armor.
|
|
|
|
Scott and Rand approach Laacko City where they pick
|
|
up Annie. The population of the city turned them
|
|
over to the Invid Shock Troopers, but with the help
|
|
of a mysterious red Cyclone rider, the Shock
|
|
Troopers were dispatched. The red Cyclone rider
|

|
|
guise of a female singer, Yellow Dancer), and Lunk
|
|
(a former robotech bio-maintenance engineer) join
|
|
Scott on his journey to Reflex Point. Lunk provides

Scott with a fully maintained and operational Alpha
|
|
fighter.
|

|
|
Invid can sense the presence of Protoculture
|
|
emanations.

|
Protoculture--fuel for their Robotech mecha.
|
|
|
|
One night, Rook returns to her home town to settle
|
|
a dispute which has troubled her ever since she
|
|
left. Unknowingly to her, Rand is curious and
|
|
follows. She has a showdown with the leader of the
|
|
Red Snakes who have harassed the town ever since
|
|
her ex-boyfriend--Romy--had disbanded the Blue
|
|
Angels.
|
|
|
|

|
|
the townspeople in fear of him endangering the town.
|
|
|
|
The team encounters Colonel Wolff and his anti-Invid
|
|
underground. For months, Wolff has been giving
|
|
Robotech soldiers to the Invid in exchange for
|
|
canisters of Protoculture. Realizing his grave
|
|
mistake in his actions, Wolff, in Scott's VT, aids
|
|
the team in a short skirmish with the Invid and is
|
|
mortally wounded. Colonel Jonathan Wolff dies.

|
|
Scott, Rand, and Annie, while on a scouting mission,
|
|
discover one of the Regis's Genesis Pits. During
|
|
an earthquake, the Genesis Pit is destroyed with all
|
|
the life forms evolved in it.
|
|
|
|
The simulagent Ariel (cloned from a female human
|

|
|
surviving units of Scott's invasion force,
|
|
consisting of close to a thousand veritechs, ground
|
|
units, assault mecha, supplies, and ammunitions.
|
|
But instead of finding a base, they find a graveyard
|
|
of ships. The Invid had already obliterated all
|
|
forces at Point K. The team enters the area in
|
|
search for ordinance but Scott goes in to seclusion.
|
|
Rand and Rook scout the area and finds Ariel at a
|
|
nearby town. Ariel, similar to a newborn child,
|
|
has not learned to speak. Rand and Rook assumes her
|
|
to be in shock. Lunk and Lancer discover two
|
|
operational Alpha fighters and one intact Beta
|
|
fighter among the wreckage. The group comes
|
|
together to report their findings and Ariel is given
|
|
the name Marlene by Scott for she is in the likeness
|
|
of his deceased fiancee, Marlene Rush.
|
|
|
|
2034 (cont) The team approaches a mountain range and is quickly
|
|
warned by the nearby town, Deguello, that the ranges
|
|
are constantly patrolled because of the Invid
|
|
fortress built there. A map of the secret routes
|
|
to pass through the patrols were sold, but through
|
|
Lancer's old time girlfriend, Carla, she reveals to
|
|
him that the maps are fake and the citizens who buy
|
|
and follow the map were going to their dooms.
|
|
|
|
To attack the fortress, the Living Brain must be
|
|
destroyed to prevent the detection of incoming
|
|
Robotech mecha. Rand and Annie volunteer and
|
|
successfully deactivates the Brain and the fortress
|
|
is destroyed nearly trapping Scott and his veritech
|
|
inside before the explosion.

|
inhabitants now have been reduced to primitive
|
|
levels. Lancer, mistaken as a woman, is kidnapped.
|
|

|
|
followed by the Invid. After taking refuge in an
|
|

|
|
hopes of burying the Robotech rebels. Upon escap-
|
|
ing, Annie rejoins the team.

The team takes a rest at a once beautiful beach
|
|
resort. Lancer has a run in with the Invid Princess
|
|
Sera and reports to Scott that the Invid are using
|
|
human pilots for their mecha. Sera is disturbed by
|
|

|
|
created by Lancer.
|
|
|
|
Sera prepares an ambush for the rebels in a high
|
|
mountain-pass near Baja California. Upon seeing
|
|
Lancer's face, Sera hesitates a moment too soon to
|
|
give the order to fire and the rebels escape. Sera
|
|
encounters Ariel for the first time.
|
|
|
|
Scott's team encounters one of the ships and its
|
|
crew from Major Carpenter's defeated fleet from

|
|
city of Denver (but really a secret underground
|
|
shelter named Delta Six) buried beneath the ice.
|

|
|
Marlene fall in love. While he searches for the
|

The team runs into Dusty Ayres, a human specimen
|
|
the Invid used to experiment on, replacing his
|
|
entire right side with Protoculture-generated organs
|
|
without the use of any anesthetics, while his
|
|
friends stood by and watched. He wages war on all
|
|
Robotech soldiers and Scott rounds up a posse to
|
|
hunt for him until the Invid attacks. With some
|
|
encouragement from Rook, Dusty aids Scott in the
|
|
battle and is killed.
