About the adventure
Journey through space with the crew of the SDF-1 Macross as they return to Earth after being exiled to Pluto by a malfunctioning hyperspace-fold drive! This grand space opera takes place in an alternate early-2000's reality where alien technology has been acquired by Earth and is being used to defend the planet against a hostile alien invasion. This west marches style campaign will weave its way through the Robotech timeline and era's, and will feature adventure, conflict, and difficult choices set against a backdrop of 21st century mecha sized warfare in this retro-futurist 'cassette-punk' style anime setting.
