Unfortunately, we could not hope to have a complete list of Macross sites, but if you would like to see more, the Macross Internet Directory has a large number of links, and a search for "Macross" on most search engines will turn up tons more sites. Most of the Japanese sites have some English or at least big colorful pictures for us gaijin :-) Reviews and info on anime playstation games Insider info from a R:CD programmer!

It is also noteworthy that this craft is the only large Zentradi spaceship that lacks a class name. The Macross Compendium designates this vessel as a Gun Destroyer, so this website will reflect that translation choice with the caveat that either designation is acceptable. "Gunboat" is the translation favored by the English background text in the Macross Chronicle (2008, 2013). The most literal translation of its kanji caption from the book Macross Perfect Memory (1983) is "Medium-Sized Gunboat" (Chuugata Houkan). NOTE: There has been some disagreement among sources whether or not this craft is a "Gunboat" or "Gun Destroyer". The Gun Destroyer then rammed the Macross in a suicide run, but only succeeded in severing the starboard arm and docked SLV-111 Daedalus carrier from the SDF-1 before crashing to the ground just beyond the shore of Lake Macross. Though the Macross was able to briefly return fire via auxiliary power, the Gun Destroyer was able to remain aloft after a direct hit from the Macross super-dimension-energy cannon. During the battle, the main cannon of the Gun Destroyer inflicted fatal damage on the SDF-1 Macross with a single shot, penetrating the hull and destroying the ship's main reactors. Zentradi warlord Kamjin Kravshera commanded a Gun Destroyer in his failed attempt to destroy the SDF-1 Macross. Though primarily an anti-ship/anti-fortifications vessel, the Gun Destroyer does feature many conventional cannon emplacements upon its hull and carries a modest complement of Nousjadeul-Ger powered armor suits for anti-mecha attack and defense.Īside from its role in the destruction of planet Earth on February 2010, the most notable operation involving a Gun Destroyer was during the Defensive Battle of Macross City in January 2012. With it's powerful primary weapon, the Gun Destroyer is the backbone of any large-scale fleet-to-fleet engagement and a necessary tool for operations requiring effective planetary bombardment. The main gun can blast through the most heavily armored hypercarbon hulls of enemy spacecraft and can rain high-energy mass destruction down upon a planetary body.
The bow splits in half vertically, collimating the energy of the blast just prior to release. The forward half of the craft is dominated by the main gun, a heavy converging energy beam cannon. Though the craft is somewhat small by the standards of most Zentradi ships of the line, it possesses one of the most devastating weapons of the fleet.
