Inspired by some of Valles' brainstorming about possible crossover fics.
Timeline of the Galactic Wars
A Long Time Ago:
* The Iscandarian Empire spreads across the Lesser and Greater Magellanic Clouds and into the Milky Way.
* There, they encounter the Stellar Republic, aka the Proto-Culture.
* After several rounds of mutual contact and probing, Iscandar attempts to conquer the Stellar Republic.
* Iscandarian forces are stymied by the Zentraedi. The Reflex Cannon is inferior to the Wave Motion gun but the Zentraedi numerical advantage is telling. Iscandarian progress is slowed to a crawl.
* The Stellar Republic creates the "Evil" series Zentraedi in an attempt to sway the course of the war. Protodeviln posess the new series and corrupt part of the Republic's forces, creating the Supervision Army.
* The Supervision Army enjoys a brief period of wild success against both Stellar Republic and Iscandar. Iscandar is pressed hard as the SA attempt to gain Wave Motion tech.
* Iscandar and the Stellar Republic grudgingly come to a temporary alliance against the Supervision Army and the Protodeviln. In a significant victory, most of the Protodeviln are sealed away or destroyed.
* Both Iscandar and the Stellar Republic have taken massive losses and retire from the field of battle, leaving the Zentraedi to deal with the remnants of the SA. Iscandar abandons their Empire and retire to their homeworld in the LMC. The fate of the Stellar Republic remnants is unknown.
Not Quite As Long Ago:
* Experiments set in motion by the Protoculture and Iscandar bear fruit, as several new races arise in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. These include Jirellians, Windermereans, Zolans, Garmillans, and Humans.
* The Jirellians are mostly wiped out with small contingents escaping in large Ark-ships.
* Garmillas makes contact with Iscandar and begins expanding their own empire.
* Garmillas and Zentraedi encounter one another. Zentraedi standing orders are to avoid Garmillas when possible due to their Micronian nature.
21st Century:
* Humanity achieves interplanetary spaceflight. Settlements are established on Luna, Mars, and other bodies in the solar system. Without FTL humanity is confined to the Sol system.
217X:
* A battle between Zentraedi and the Supervision Army results in a SA gunship falling through a fold fault. Bodol-Zer dispatches the Britai Adoclass fleet to search for it.
2180:
* The Supervision Army gunship crash-lands on Earth. Over the next decade, it is repaired and rebuilt by human teams studying its technology. Many elements are incorporated into UN Cosmo-Fleet vessel designs.
2190:
* A Garmillas scout force enters the Sol system. When they attempt to make contact, a hidden Supervision Army program in the rebuilt gunship's computer fires on them. Only one ship escapes to return and report.
2190-2199:
* The rebuilt gunship, christened the SDF-1 Macross, becomes the flagship of Earth's defense as the system comes under attack by Garmillas forces. The UNCF is able to hold the inner system but cannot dislodge Garmillas forces from the outer system.
* Garmillas forces resort to planet-bombs in an attempt to force the humans to submit. Most are intercepted and destroyed by UNCF forces lead by the SDF-1.
* The UNCF works on constructing a second fold-capable warship, essentially copying the SDF-1. Construction is delayed repeatedly by Garmillas attacks and the need to divert resources to maintaining the SDF-1 and the rest of the fleet.
2199: The SDF-2 is completed and takes its place in Earth's defenses. The SDF-1 and a small escort fleet are dispatched to seek out the Gamillas homeworld and attempt to force a resolution. Senior officers of the mission are Admiral Juzo Okita and Rear Admiral Bruno Gloval.
