Robotech Macross S1

Ten years after a mysterious alien ship lands on Earth and is rebuilt with its technology adapted, the alien warrior servants of the ship's owners arrive to retrieve it.

As the Zentraedi attack moves to its ground advance phase, Rick struggles to survive with Minmei in a fighting vehicle frustratingly alien to him.

To outmaneuver their enemy, the SDF-1 crew use the ship's untested hyperspace fold system, only for it to go near-disastrously awry.

Trapped in the bowels of the SDF-1, Rick and Minmei struggle to survive as they face certain starvation.

While Roy attempts to convince Rick to enlist, the crew of SDF-1 is forced to spectacularly improvise to ward off an attack.

Flush with their ship's new capabilities, Captain Gloval decides to take the offensive.

The SDF-1 lands on the abandoned base on Mars for resupply, unaware that the Zentraedi have arrived and have prepared a trap.

On Minmei's birthday, the newly decorated and promoted Rick Hunter finds himself too occupied adjusting to his new squadron under his command to celebrate it with her.

Rick is ordered to go on patrol, but can't resist watching Minmei in a beauty contest only to find a Zentraedi scout crew who are completely flummoxed by the spectacle themselves.

When the SDF-1's radar is disabled, Commander Hayes goes on a survey mission, and the Zentraedi are waiting for her ship.
