Post Macross Frontier era (2060's) Uraga carrier NUNS Vandeglift CVS-761:

Here is the final iteration of my Uraga drawing, with an airwing consisting of the VF-25 Messiah variable fighter (in NUNS VF-171 colors) and the VB-6 König Monster variable bomber.

Development history:
The VF-32 Viper was developed by Sukhoi and manufactured by St. Barbara Arsenal of Alexandria for the Order of Saint Mark to replace the VF-19OSM in OSM service since 2046 (the VF-19's have been transferred to the NUNS forces in Alexandria). The VF-32 is derived from the YF-24 but has some features from the YF-30 and VF-31, such as the beam gunpod and some electronics. It was designed to exceed the Surya Aerospace VF-31 Kairos in performance, though it does not have the VF-31's modular container system. Unlike other 5th-generation variable fighters, the VF-32 features a wrap-around cockpit in all modes, just like the preceding VF-19, allowing for superior situational awareness for the pilot. The VF-32's add on modules, the Super Pack and Armor Pack are both capable of atmospheric use, though the VF-32's speed is reduced when using the Armor Pack in an atmosphere. The VF-32's prototype, the YF-32 first flew from the Uraga class carrier St. Mina in 2066 and the production VF-32 entered service in 2069.

VF-32 variants:
VF-32A - standard model
VF-32S - commander model, with trimmed-up engines and battle management AI
RVF-32A - AEW&C/EW model, with AESA radar/fold sensor and high-powered fold jammer and second EX-Gear for RIO

Order of Saint Mark VF-32A with Super Pack and VF-32S with Armor pack:

VF-32A Super Pack:

VF-32S Armor Pack:

Both the Super and Armor packs for the VF-32 are similar in design to those of the VF-25 Messiah but feature reaction turbine engines rather than rocket motors as on other kinds of Super and Armor packs for other variable fighters. They both can be used in an atmosphere or in space, though the Armor Pack reduces the VF-32's top speed in an atmosphere. The Armor Pack also includes 2 PPB-enhanced swords for close-quarters mecha combat.

The Macross type ship of the Order of Saint Mark, the OSM Christ Pantocrator (from my Macross Alexandria fanfic universe):

Specifications:

Commissioned: December 10, 2066

Number of class commissioned: 1

Complement:
Ship's company: 100
Air wing: 40

Dimensions (Cruiser mode):
-Length: 480 m
-Width: 180 m
-Height: 99 m

Mass: operational mass 200000 tons

Structure: heavy energy converting armor

Power system: fold reactor, reaction engine cluster

Main machinery: super fold system cluster, 4x main engine thrusters, gravity control system

Countermeasures: pin-point barrier system, repulsion field system, ECM system

Armament:
-2x Heavy Quantum Reaction Cannon/Macross Cannon
-12x quarter cannons
-640x missile tubes for Standard and ESSM missiles
-32x point defense turrets

Craft and mecha:
30x craft in two main hangar bays (mounted on port and starboard Macross cannon modules) and 4x auxiliary hangar bays (located at engine pods), complement includes:
-VF-19OSM (until 2069)
-VF-32 (since 2069)
-VB-6
-C-20 Rabbit II

Development history:

The Order of Saint Mark developed the OSM Christ Pantocrator in the early 2060's as a response to the effective deployment of the SMS Macross Quarter during the 2059 Vajra War. Inclusion of Protoculture and Vajra technologies was a driving factor in the design, which includes a fold reactor and super fold drives, all made possible by fold quartz deposits in the planetary system where Alexandria is located. The OSM Christ Pantocrator was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Alexandria and launched in 2065.

Note: the design is inspired by a draft design of the Macross Quarter (which I think looked better than the final design), the UNSC frigates from the Halo video games and of course the final Macross Quarter design.

The Macross Cannon from Macross II (which appears in my Macross Alexandria fanfic as Macross Infinity) has FOUR Macross cannons:

Never realised how small the Cats Eye is. Lovely work there!

To be honest, the size of the Cats Eye is a mere guess based on the pilots seen in the original line art, as there are no known specs. (At least I couldn't find some).

Btw, right now I'm doing the SC-27, which will be posted on Shipbucket within the next days (probably the weekend). Again the size will be a guess based on the access port and people shown alongside the Star Goose on the existing line art.

Other works planned are the Mom's Kitchen, the Tunny, and maybe the Avenger II.

A variable Destroid family from my Macross Alexandria fanfic:

The Warhammer family of variable Destroids was developed in the early 2060's as a replacement for the various Destroids in service in the Alexandrian Union Army and Alexandrian Union Marine Corps. While other armed forces in New Unified Government space have phased out Destroids in favor of variable fighters, the Alexandrian Union Armed Forces have recognized the versatility of a lightweight Destroid for urban combat. Taking advantages of technology from fifth-generation variable fighters, such as linear actuators for smoother transformation from Tank mode to Destroid mode as well as more advanced energy conversion armor, the Warhammer Destroid family has superior performance to earlier Destroids.
VMBR-10 Warhammer:
A variable Main Battle Robot developed as a replacement for the Tomahawk Destroid. It is armed with 2 arm-mounted particle beam guns and 16 micro-missiles as main armament, as well as a coaxial 30 mm autocannon and head turret-mounted 12.7 mm and 8.6 mm machine guns. It is equipped with manipulators similar to those found on variable fighters.
VADR-10 Warhammer-AA:
A variable Air Defense Robot developed as a replacement for the Defender and Cheyenne II Destroids. It is armed with 2 arm-mounted 35 mm Gatling guns and 10 short range surface-to-air missiles, as well as head turret-mounted 12.7 mm and 8.6 mm machine guns. It is equipped with a short-range AESA air search radar and AESA fire control radar.
VASR-10 Warhammer-FH:
A variable Artillery Support Robot developed to complement towed 155 mm howitzers. It is armed with 2 155 mm railguns with 20 rounds capacity for each gun that can fire all 155 mm artillery shells fitted with a sabot, as well as head turret-mounted 12.7 mm and 8.6 mm machine guns. It is capable of Multiple-Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) artillery bombardment due to its high rate for fire and precise fire control system.
VMLR-10 Warhammer-ML:
A variable Multiple Launch Rocket Robot developed as a replacement for the Destroid Phalanx. Unlike the Phalanx, it is equally adept for use in an atmosphere as well as in space. It is armed with 2 rocket pods with 6 rockets each, as well as head turret-mounted 12.7 mm and 8.6 mm machine guns. The rocket pods are usually loaded with artillery bombardment rockets for atmospheric use and anti-aircraft rockets for space use.
VARR-10 Warhammer-AR:
An Armored Recovery Robot designed for recovery of other Destroids, as well as use as an engineering vehicle. It is basically an armored variable Workoid. It is armed with head turret-mounted 12.7 mm and 8.6 mm machine guns. It is equipped with manipulators similar to those found on variable fighters, as well as various attachments such as winches, shovels and dozer blades.

A variant of the VF-32 and a UCAV from my Macross Alexandria fanfic universe:
Sukhoi VF-32S Viper with Mikoyan AIF-12 Seraph UCAV:

The VF-32 Viper can be equipped with the Mikoyan AIF-12 Seraph UCAV in place of each of its Super Pack boosters as part of its Super Pack system. The AIF-12 Seraph is a multirole UCAV that is intended to be carried by variable fighters for use as boosters and armament packs when docked and as an independent combat unit when undocked. The AIF-12 is armed with 2 light particle beam cannons and 2 micro missile launchers with 18 missiles each.
