You're welcome.

To be honest, I think Kawamori and Co. just injected some additional "conspiracy" elements in an attempt to broaden the scope of Macross Frontier (much like the little added sequences of the Vajra preparing to attack Earth and the other colony fleets in episode 25). Featuring "side plot points" that aren't that relevant and ultimately not explained (like Grace's disembodied cohorts) is an annoying but popular trend in anime.

But the weird thing is, these added elements work in the case of Macross, since the franchise featured those kind of hanging side plot threads even before the modern trend began (like the Supervision Army in SDF Macross). It wouldn't be Macross is there weren't a few things left unexplained, which make juicy material to be covered in printed fan books. Thank gawd for the Macross Compendium
