Program

• Government: United Nations Government
• Ship Type: Colonization Ship

This class was designed as the flagship for super-long-distance colonization fleets. Macross 5 constructed by Zentradi and designed with Zentradi technology. Macross 5 and Macross 7 share similar designs due to structures designed by General Galaxy.

Structure

City defensive shell over majority of City section (not on Macross 1 at 2038 launch). Aerospace facilities include twelve standard catapults, six at the forward end of of the flight deck, three at the centre, and three to the port at the aft angled deck. Bridge includes three electromagnetic catapults for immediate scramble of interceptor-fighters and command liaison craft hatch. Outside the main city dome are the docking bay island (approximately 300 m long) and event dome, both uncovered by defensive shell. (Docking bay island reused as "Akusho (Acshio) Area" on Macross 7.)

Operational

New Macross class ships composed of two main sections: Battle and City ships (with power plant docking unit). Battle class ships designed as super-sized variable-purpose stealth space attack carrier. City class ships designed as super-long-distance colonization ships.
