He blinked slightly and looked up a form took shape in the near distance, just beyond his barrier, and the raven furred cano felt an awakening of new emotions, awe and fear.

The shape surged higher, closer, until he could see a masculine shape illuminated in the warm blue glow of his barrier.

(Shape): Welcome my dear soldier, it pleases me to see you out of that tube.... to finally be able to learn the ways of your terribly lethal might.

The cano looked up at him, full of awe and wonder. The sort of wedge shaped head drifted closer to him, lids drooping lazily over the hot embers of twin eyes. Yet he sensed there was nothing sleepy, nothing but keen alertness, in the deceptivly casual inspection.. When his cruel jaws parted agauin, when more words came into being, the cano tensed, as if the mighty being's speech was the most importent bit of information in the universe.

(Shape): remember the rule of the Zentradi Kohji...and you will survive this war, and gain glory and power for your race. Remember, mercy is weakness....and weakness... IS DEATH!

He shivered in the thrill of learning. It was a teaching he knew he would never forget.
The figure deressed a button on the side of his barrier, and the circuits and wires released the mighty cano.

(Shape): You shall show naught but loyalty to us... The Zentradi, your race. And when we fight, you shall find your strongest enemy and destroy him.

A smile of evil pleasure spread across his muzzle and he stood in front of his superior.

(Kohji) I, Kohji Ozaki, pledge my loyalty to the Zentradi... And I will slay our enemies with great ruthlessness.

(Shape): Exellent...

Aurican smiled slightly, his prussian blue eyes scanning the Macross Acadamie's training facility. He was quite exited, for he would again be flying in a veritech. He looked to the side and saw a blue doberman pinscher smiling at him. He pulled one of Auri's ears slightly and gave him a soft playful smile. The collie/doberman mix growled a bit and frowned at his friend. The doberman laughed.

(Darien): Aww, our baby is all grown up and flying Veritechs!

(Aurican): Quit!!

Hunter, Auri's brother, smiled and laughed, brushing a ruff of black fur back on his head. His russet furred brother roughly pulled away from the doberman.

(Hunter): Dar, lay off the kid. Jeez.

Darien smirked a bit

(Darien): Youngest fighter in a our group, I have the right to tease him a bit.

Hunter frowned and shoot his head.

(Hunter): Dar you are such a retard...

The group made their way to a group of three planes in the hanger. The Deathfyre squadren was well known and respected. He smiled, letting his chest swell with a bit of pride at the thought of flying his father's veritech, the same vehicle that helped defeat the Zentradi years before. He looked at the trainees about the hanger and wondered, who is the cano joining the Deathfyre squadron...?

An instructor came over to the group, the burly pit bull studied them critically. He frowned.

(Mr.Draken): Sure don't look like much, man they're letting anyone fly veritechs this year.

Hunter frowns, but holds his toughe, the instructor was to teach them how to handle the old fasioned veritechs, and they were still waiting for the rest of their team to arrive.

(OOC:Lol, I love Macross, I know Shadow alredy started one. But I just had to try it. Sorry.)

Super Dimentional Fortress Macross: (History)

The year is 1999. All across the world, many wars are being waged. One day in the summer of 1999 an object fell out of hyperspace and crash landed on the Earth on small South Ataria Island. The devastation it caused on it's decent from the heavens caused world leaders to stop the wars and band together to find out what had just landed on thier planet. It turned out to be a 1200 meter long alien warship. Since the outer hull of the ship had taken most of the damage, world scientists were able to access the computers and study the technology on the ship which was decades ahead on Earth's most advanced thinking. Earth's leaders banded together and decided to rebuild the ship and use its advanced technology to upgrade Earth's defenses with the fear of an alien attack looming over thier heads. In the 10 years it took to rebuild the ship, many great military advances were made. Such as the top-secret Valkyrie transformable fighter plane and the A.R.M.D. Space Platforms. On the day the ship, named the SDF-1 Macross, was to be chistened and launched, an unknown race of giant human-looking aliens attacked South Ataria Island. After a few hours of fighting the Macross launched into space and returned to Earth after it's escort ships were destroyed. After that, the Macross hovered above S.A. Island and performed a space fold, which left them stranded near the orbit of the planet Pluto. It took them another year to get back to Earth. When the Macross got back Earth didn't want the ship, or the 50,000 citizens of the city that surrounded the Macross before it launched. After a few battles with the aliens, the Zentraedi, the Macross headed back for space. By now, a few Zentraedi spies had snuck aboard and had expierienced culture shock, for the Zentraedi's life is nothing but war and the military..seeing the city that had been built inside the Macross and seeing the different people interacting, most of all seeing men and women together shocked the spies. Along with the strange sound known as music. After this is reported to the highest ranking Zentraedi, Bodolza, he decides that the Earth and all Zentraedi that were exposed to Earth's culture must be destroyed. So, the Zentraedi that originally attacked the Macross, join with the humans and prepare for the massive battle about to start. When the Zentraedi main fleet of almost 5 million arrived in Earthspace, commanded by Bodolza, he orderes his ships to bombard the Earth. This attack decimates most of the surface of the Earth and kills billions of people. With Lynn Minmay's singing throwing Bodolza's troops into confusion, the Macross and the friendly Zentraedi attacked and defeated Bodolza and his massive fleet. After about a year of reconstruction, things are looking up for the Earth. The population is being rebuilt using the cloning process used to make the Zentraedi. In the city where the Macross landed, malcontent Zentraedi stole a nuclear reactor and used it to repair thier crashed battleship. They then used thier repaired ship to destroy the Macross once and for all, they die in the process though, resorting to a kamakaze attack and ramming the Macross with thier ship. Only a few on the Macross survive. The ship is nearly destroyed, but that's not the last we'll see of the great Macross.

(What's going on now around the world.)

Okay, thats a bit of a sypnosis of the things that came before this. (The actual series.) Now its about thirteen years after the war, more turbulent times have long since passed, but political unrest with the now almost completly decimated earth is throwing the newly rebuilt colonies into confusion and agressive tension.

(Presently.)

We are at the Macross academy, where young cadets learn to cooperate with eachother in wartime, should the need becaome such. But also, it is a military academy, where cadets can learn to not only fight in veritechs, but become useful in other areas as well, such as manuevering a ship as large as the SDF-1 from the bridge among other things. (Man I hate having to clarify school. >__< I always wind up confusing people.)

(Future plan.)

Now, the remaining warriors of the Zentraedi are about to wage war against the earth again...who knew that the emaining forces would be so powerful...

And in case the above didn't mention bfore, umm, the Zentraedi are like naturally fifty feet tall but can be micronized into a more udable form.

Chaser, can you please describe the weapons and vehicles used here?

Zentradi, the huminoid (in the show it is discovered that there is vertually no genetic differences that human sience can determine and human (or in this case cano) and Zentradi can have children together), though supposedly only full bred zentradi can go through the size conversion) pilot non several types of non-transformable vessels if they are not a part of UN Spacy/Robotech Defense Force, the pretty much dime-a-dozen battlepod, which looks like, as described in the books, a headless and wingless ostrich with laser weapons, a officer's battlepod, which is an advanced version wit arms that fire rapid-fire cannons and an over-the shoulder particle-beam, a male power armor, which is basically a heavily armored ground assault unit, and a female or 'Quadrano' power armor that is designed to take advantage of the greater reflexes of female Zentradi buy providing huge main drives and manuvering thrusters, it is armed with missles and wrist blasters.

Ships, such as the SDF and other vessels are huge space going vessels of emense poer, any ship in the SDF series, or of a SDF-type design has a main gun known, depending on the series as a 'Macross' or 'Reflex' Cannon that, according to the show, books, and the old Robotech pen and paper RPG that Palladium Books published that will annighalate anything in its beam path and cause emese damage to anything within ten miles of the main beam, think of it as a buster-rifle on a gargantuan scale, though, there are problems with the weapon, such as a VERY low rate of fire, like once every twenty minute so usually only one shot got off in a single battle. These ships have other massive weapons, and surprisingly, Earth and Zentradi vessels are acutually, once Earth figures out how to use their newly aqured technology, fairly equal.

Did I miss anything Jaggie?
