Advanced Valkyrie & Air Cavalry Chronicles

[VF-15 Banshee]

I was browsing through MAHQ.net and found some Valkyrie variations that I was wondering if anyone had info on.

First of all, in ACC, what are the factions of Asturia, Fanelia and Zaibach Empire? Is it an alternate universe of Macross or far future?

I recognize some of the designs as pre-Varauta or early versions of the Y/VF-19. One design is very obviously an early version of the VF-9 Cutlass.

I wonder if these designs were intended for Escaflowne in its earliest concepts since Asturia, Fanelia and the Zaibach Empire are the names of the three main kingdoms in Escaflowne.

Advanced Valkyrie was a non Macross project about test pilots. It was like a prototype for Macross Plus.

Yes and no. Yes in the conceptual idea of 3 kingdoms with sword-wielding mechs (that some could fly), but no in that they went with magic girls and Arthurian legend, Greek/Arabian/who-knows-what-else mythology and that whole playground.

Yes, the Knights of the Sky project gradually evolved into Escaflowne.
