Introduction to the Battlestar anime

In July 1999 AD, an event occurred that changed the destiny of mankind: a huge alien spacecraft crashed into the earth and a man named Macross (meaning "big universe" in German) on the small island. In August, the United Nations Research Organization began to inspect the spacecraft. In December, according to the investigation report, it was discovered that this was an alien spacecraft, named ASS1. From the computer data of the spacecraft, people have found advanced technologies that are more than ten thousand years old than the current stage, and confirmed the existence of powerful extraterrestrial civilizations. In the face of this overwhelming existence, all national disputes and political conflicts become insignificant. , facing enemies that may appear at any time in the universe, mankind united for the first time. In March 2000, research on ASS1 revealed the existence of tall aliens, and development of combat weapons for use against giants began. In June, Earth governments jointly announced the existence of aliens. In January 2001, the governments of various countries announced their dissolution and established the United Earth Government centered on the former United Nations. At the same time, the United Earth Forces were established. The best scientists in the world gathered on Macross Island to rebuild this huge spacecraft. The code name of the spacecraft was changed to: SDF-1 (Super Dimension Fortress 1). During the reconstruction process, a new city—Macross City—was born around this spaceship. Through the research on SDF-1, humans have gradually mastered robotic technology and formed a new robot army accordingly. In January 2009, the restoration work was finally completed. In February, on the day of Battlestar I's maiden voyage, the Zentraedi fleet arrived in the solar system. The two armies entered a state of war, and the first cosmic war broke out. This opened the first chapter of close combat between humans and alien civilizations. Battlestar I performed space folding under the command of Captain Grover. Due to a calculation error, it jumped to the orbit of Pluto with the entire city of Macross. During the long voyage back to Earth, fierce battles between humans and the Zentraedi continued to occur. At the same time, stories of joys and sorrows were also going on inside the fortress. The young fighter pilot Rick Carter grew up rapidly in the baptism of blood and fire, and the relationship between him, the singer Lin Mingmei, and one of the battlestar commanders, Lisa Hines, was also going through time and again. test. During an accidental capture, Lisa and other soldiers were able to have direct contact with the Zentraedi people, and thus discovered the Zentraedi people's survival philosophy of only fighting to survive, and also discovered the other party's abnormal reaction to human emotions. Battlestar began to seek a way for both races to survive. The leader of Zentraedi, Doza, also has a strong interest in earth civilization. The Zentraedi spies who sneaked into the fortress returned to the fleet and brought back the earth's way of life and Lin Mingmei's song. The Zentraedi people, who originally only knew how to fight, gradually came into contact with the life and customs of the Earth people. They began to yearn for the life of the Earth people and refused to engage in endless wars. When the female pilot of the Zenith Star, Miria Palino, and the Earth pilot, Max Stirling, fell in love and got married, the interaction between the two civilizations finally collided with sparks. After Doza learned the news, he was furious and decided to destroy the earth to prevent the Zentraedi from continuing to rebel. In April 2011, the Zentraedi Empire dispatched all 5,000,000 warships and carried out a devastating blow to the surface of the earth, turning the entire surface into a scorched earth. The surviving Battlestar warriors and the rebellious Zentraedi united to mount a tenacious resistance. The main fleet of the Zenith Star was wiped out in the singing of Lin Mingmei, and the first space war ended. Although the attack of the Zentraedi was repelled, Grover knew that the master robot ruler of the Zentraedi would come again. In order to protect the earth from being invaded again, Grover decided to build the Battlestar II and established A powerful space fleet goes to outer space to find the origin of aliens and completely eliminate the threat from aliens to the earth. At the same time, the survivors who returned to Earth began a long process of reconstruction. However, the mixed state of Zentraedi and humans over time finally triggered riots by some dissatisfied Zentraedi. Chiron, the former Zentraedi soldier, took the opportunity to win over the dissatisfied and restarted his attack on humanity. In the final battle in January 2014, Battlestar I and II and the Chiron flagship perished together. At the time of life and death, Rick also made the final choice between the two confidants. In 2022, an expeditionary force led by Rick Carter and Lisa Hines left Earth aboard Battlestar III. Most of these pioneers never set foot on Earth again.
