Island 1
From Macross Compendium
Island 1 is the flagship of the Macross Frontier fleet. It holds approximately half the fleet's population of 10 million, and a transparent dome encapsulates the top of the ship. A protective shell normally stays open over the dome, but it can close during battle and space fold operations. It is big enough to contain mountains, valleys, plains, rivers, and a sea. The plains contain the office districts, residential areas, parks, shopping districts, schools, and hospitals. In particular, the ship holds the Tenkumon concert hall and Mihoshi Academy. The ship was designed to resemble Earth before its near annihilation (during the early 2000s) to invoke a psychological sense of security. Old Earth structures can be clearly seen such as buildings from the American city of San Francisco and Shibuya of Japan.
