I think that pretty much every single Macross fleet can be substantially different from the other ones given their nature. After all, we've also seen Macross 5 as an all-Zentradi fleet, and it's easy to imagine a fleet under direct military control. I'd say that it's better to think of the colony fleets as semi-independent nations, each with a similar goal, but possibly exercising very different political and social structures.
