Best guess.... the preAnti-Unification War name of what would become the United Earth Forces. The UEG and UEF replaced the old United Nations circa 2005 or so. RDF is NOT the official name.
Boxer Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Is there a UNA (United Nations Army?) branch? Or are they just a department of the Space Marines? Yes I checked the compendium

azrael Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Quote Is there a UNA (United Nations Army?) branch? Or are they just a department of the Space Marines? As I said, noted are......(see previous post). There may be an Army but they have yet to be mentioned in any official publications. Quote Since there is already the Space Navy, what need is there for the UNSAF? Who knows..... Quote Is the Anti-UN fighting a guerilla style war with the UN or can they actualy go head to head with them? A little of column A and a little of column B. As I see it, there are factions (I don't see an actual central authority among the Anti-UN but I don't seem them as just terrorists cells since they have a distinct military discpline surrounding them). In the Americas, they are probably dealing with guerillas (like the ones in Guatamala back in the day). In the Pacific/Atlantic and in Eurasia (and perhaps Australia), the UN is probably facing a much more organized group. I can't really make out the situation in the Middle East/Africa. This is conjecture, of course. The basis for this answer is from scenes in M0 and the Compendium.

But it is used to mean U.N. (United Nations) in Macross.

It just seemed to me that that ship had firepower comparable to the larger Zentran ships. Likely. You have to remember that a gunboat is basically just a floating cannon. The larger vessels weren't intended to be used solely as big guns. So they didn't carry a weapon as large proportionately as a gunboat would. The Macross is overpowered for it's size because that's what gunboats are. Actually, the Nupetiet-Vergnitzs class has a huge cannon that is mainly used for combat again large mobile fortresses, while Millia's ship is a gun destroyer with a short range cannon because it is a special forces unit, while there is the heavier gun destroyer which has a long range firing cannon, like the Macross. There are different specifications because the ships serve different purposes.

Not only that, but there's nothing to 'take in' the vacuum of space might even suck out the fuel through the intakes The VF-1 doesn't have liquid fuel... nuclear powered! The VF-1 does use liquid fuel. They wouldn't need to be refueled by this: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...ent_vessel.html if they didn't have liquid fuel.

There's a thread discussing this. No, Anubis is correct. The Megaroad class may be made of different components, but it is a fixed ship design. Kawamori has not said whether or not the Megaroad is transformable or not. While, it might seem unlikely-it should not be stated that the Megaroad is nontransformable.

There are different specifications because the ships serve different purposes. That's sort of what I was trying to get at. The Macross just SEEMS to be more powerful proportionately because it was never intended to be a general-purpose vehicle. They put a lot more of the ship into the gun, proportionally, then most of the other vehicles. Hence the notable lack of onboard anti-mecha weaponry. It's not SUPPOSED to defend itself, because it has escorts. Self-defense would just draw power from the cannon. The Vergnitzs cannon didn't seem as powerful proportionately as the Macross cannon did. If it was, the final battle of Space War 1 would've likely consisted of a single shot into Bodolzaa's Fulbtzs-Berrentzs from a distance, rather than the bold, audacious, and somewhat suicidal Macross Attack. Aside from a probable upper limit on or non-linear scaling(IE doubling the size of the cannon doesn't double the power output) of the technology, the Vergnitzs needed space and energy for other stuff too. It wasn't JUST a cannon. Unfortunately, it lends a false impression that the Macross is somehow more advanced, because it's got such a large punch in such a small package.

Just to back up what Nanashi has said....nuclear reactors would be the power plant for the Valkyrie. Reaction mass (liquid water maybe?) is still necessary to go from point a to point b as well as being used in vernier thrusters and so forth. No reaction mass and no movement.

Furthermore, you also need something for the reactor to fuse. There's no reason for that to not be stored as a liquid, particularly since the cleanest fusion reaction uses helium and the easiest use hydrogen, both of which you will HAVE to liquify to get a reasonable amout of fuel in the tank.

In this case amalgam fits best. http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...siles/amm1.html This is Animation Special Macross Plus (OVA) says that they are Anti-ground Multipurpose Missiles.... but this is not written in the Macross Compendium, because I believe the AMM-1 is more than just an Anti-ground missile. Though, anti-giant combat was thought that it would mostly take place on the ground... that's why there is the whole Battroid ground combat complex.

Eh? ASS-1 is pre-SDF-1 Macross-designation. ASS-1 refers to SDF-1 before it was overhauled into the Earth vessel we know. M0 is taking place before SDF Macross (TV series) but well after it crashed (in fact, this is in the prologue of M0), so I don't see what the confusion is...
