SDF-1 Macross launched in 2009 February 07 after intital estimated launch date of 2006 May. The first space fold transported the ship near the orbit of Pluto instead near the Moon the intended destination on the same day. Underwent refit with a civilian and business sector built into aft section hull and docked with CVS-101 Prometheus and SLV-111 Daedalus 2009 February to March. Underwent complete overhaul from 2012 January to August.
Modernisation: After the end of Space War I, the New U.N. Military Command Center was built in the midsection of the SDF-1 Macross. Construction begins again on half-completed Megaroad-01 2010 June [Please see 13 Megaroad class entry]. After the (First Defensive) Battle of Macross City and the resulting heavy damage on the Macross in January 2012, the U.N. authorized a complete overhaul, including redesigned bow-firing cannon and improved bridge layout. Overhaul largely completed by September 2012 before the space launch ceremony of the SDF-2 Megaroad-01. Space flight and combat tests of the Ghost X-9 unmmaned fighter conducted from the Macross under ship captain Higgins. "Sharon Apple Incident" occurs during the Space War I Armistice 30th anniversary ceremony and Ghost X-9 public unveiling 2040 March. To date, it continues to fulfil its assigned task of planetary defense.
