Macross Fan Fiction ❯ Macross "VF-X Ravens" ❯ Introduction - Cast and Mechs ( Prologue )

Prologue:

 

In the year 2050, 10 years after the "Sharon Apple" incident on Eden (Macross Plus), The peaceful atmosphere of a deep-space colony was shattered by a group of terrorists. The U.N Spacy government decided to send in the Special Forces "VF-X Ravens" squadron to protect the colony.

 

A terrifying new device has just been developed...One that could tip the scale of combat in the favor of the side whoever controls it. The “Critical Path Corporation”, under the orders of their president, “Manfred Brando”, created this new device. The device has the ability to jam all Weapon Systems rendering them utterly useless.

 

The terrorist group that attacked the colonies is known as the "Black Ravens", led by their fearless leader "Timoshie Daldahnton"...Codenamed the "All Kill Wizard". Their goal is to rule the galaxy, and the only thing standing in their way is the combined might of the U.N Spacy forces. This new device could change that...

 

VFX Raven's "Alpha Squadron" objective is to defend the colonists from the terrorists and stop them from using the device to annihilate the U.N forces. Given the chance to pilot the most advanced Variable Fighters in the U.N arsenal, and fly into the face of danger with their wingmen right beside them. However, things are not as they seem...There is a traitor among the ranks, someone who sympathizes with the terrorists, and has a hidden agenda of their own...Who could it be? The mission control officer? The wingmen? The captain? Maybe even

The commander?

 

Ace Pilot, "Aegis Focker", is the main character of this story of trust and betrayal. Can he save the colonists, stay loyal to his friends, defeat the terrorists and stop the SDF Macross all at once? It all depends on the path he chooses...
