Macross Frontier is set 14 years after the Macross 7 Series. The series features the 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet, dubbed the Macross Frontier, on its journey to find a new planet for Human residence. This heavily populated fleet (complete with a dome city) is made up of both Humans and their allied race the Zentradi. The series starts off as a VF-171 reconnaissance squadron is destroyed by an extremely powerful and fast insectoid biomechanical alien mecha known as the "Vajra".
Thus, a war between the Macross Frontier fleet and the Vajira commences. At the same time, Intergalactic idol Sheryl Nome enters Macross Frontier for a concert. Amidst all this are Alto and Ranka, two young teenagers who both have dreams and hopes, and during an attack on the Frontier Ship, get acquainted with both each other and Sheryl. Thus starts an intergalactic sci-fi story filled with love, space ship battles, political struggles and much much more.
