The Macross Saga
Episode 6: Blitzkrieg
In its new configuration, the
SDF-1 is able to repel the attacking Zentraedi forces, although at great cost to
Macross City. The modular transformation destroys much of the city, due to the
radical effects on the fortress’s basic structure. In the months that follow,
the citizens pull together and repair the damage. Once again, they try to lead
normal lives.
Rick Hunter decides to join the Robotech Defense Force after all and becomes a
Veritech fighter pilot. As Rick gets the unsettling information that his new
commanding officer is Lisa Hayes, someone he still refers to as “that old
sourpuss”, Captain Gloval receives his own bad news. In trying to trace the
missing fold system generator, his crew has discovered that its disappearance
may have distorted the actual fabric of the space/time continuum. Gloval can
only guess at how this will affect their attempt to return to Earth.
The Zentraedi track the SDF-1 to its hiding place in the rings of Saturn.
Captain Gloval attempts a blitzkrieg maneuver to take them past the alien
armada. As the SDF-1 battles its way through, Rick Hunter takes part in his
official combat duty. On the bridge, Lisa Hayes comes up with an offensive
strategy of her own – the Daedalus maneuver – which allows the SDF-1 to
defeat the main Zentraedi destroyer.
