Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of robotech I’ve decided to create a total conversion modification for sins of a solar empire for both the diplomacy and rebellion expansions that will revolve around the famous manga animation series Macross (or as it is known in the United States as Robotech) more information can be found in the links below:

For the sake of simplicity the initial release will include three playable races that were part of the anime series these will be the following:
- U.N. Spacy: The U.N. Spacy (United Nations Spacy) is the fictional military arm of the Earth U.N. Government (地球統合政府 chikyuu tougou seifu "Integrated Global Government") from the Japanese anime series Macross. The organization's name is a portmanteau of Space and Navy, therefore making the word "Spacy". In the fictional Macross chronology it was established after 1999 by the successor to the modern United Nations in order to defend Earth from a possible attack by hostile aliens. However, from 1999 to 2008 the U.N. Spacy was also involved in the U.N. Wars conflict, fighting against a human Anti-U.N. faction opposed to the formation of the worldwide U.N. government. A year later the U.N. Spacy was involved in the subsequent Space War I, defending our planet from a hostile extraterrestrial race called the Zentradi. Later operations of the U.N. Spacy expanded into interstellar colonization and general peacekeeping of off-world Earth settlements. At the time of the Zentradi invasion, the U.N. Spacy's assets included military bases on Earth, the Moon and Mars, squadrons of variable and other mecha, several capital ships in orbit and the repaired SDF-1 Macross on South Ataria Island, the flagship of the United Nations Spacy.
- Zentradi: the Zentradi (ゼントラーディ人 Zentorādi-jin?) are a fictional, militaristic race of alien, humanoid giants and often the main antagonist in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime seriesand its Robotech adaptation. It is transliterated as Zentradi, Zjentohlauedy, Zentrady and Zentraedi for the Japanese Macross series, with the Zentraedi spelling being the one most used commonly in the Robotech adaptation. In both the Macross and Robotech universes, humans and Zentradi are capable of interbreeding due to being genetically equivalent. Physically, most of them also resemble humans, though some have unique skin and hair colors. Prior to their first encounter with the human race, all members of the Zentradi race were artificially created through cloning.
- Meltrandi: In the fictional Macross setting, Meltrandi or Meltran is the term for female Zentradi, a giant humanoid alien warrior race segregated by gender. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love movie re-imagined the female Zentradi as their own faction fighting against the male Zentradi for millennia. The movie also introduced the term "Meltran" as the term for "female" in the Zentradi language (a language created for the movie). The corresponding term in the Zentradi language for "male" is "Zentran".
Although work will expand to add more factions after the initial release of the modification to include the Marduk, Vajra, and Varauta factions in later versions of the modification, the modification will include select mecha's and ships from the whole Macross series and will be updated as the modification progresses with this basic synopsis laid out as the basis for my total conversion modification I would also like to recruit new potential modders who want to support and help contribute to the project by lending their talents, because a project of this magnitude will require significant community support and I would like to enlist all the help I can get so please feel free to contact me at my email address concerning your interest in joining this project. jnthn.wolff@gmial.com
