Unless I'm much mistaken the SMS fighter squadron has little if any problems operating around for example Macross Galaxy from its base on Macross Frontier.
Fighter Fold drives have been around for decades and extend thier operating radius massively. [Not to mention the hardware is being supplied by a company which appears to be back on Eden so it can be combat tested.] So SMS doesn't just have Macross Frontier as a potential client base.
It would appear to be a small galaxy as far as travel times [Interfleet transports are laid out like short haul passenger jets as far as passenger space is concerned.]. Knowing where there are locations of interest seems more of a problem.
