In this day in age, Sv apparently doesn't stand for Sukhoi Variable anymore... it's "Slayer Valkyrie".
To me it is starting took like elements within General Galaxy is looking shadier than before. In Macross Dynamite 7 Loschier's black market was selling them new teal VF-17Ds. Macross Galaxy was sponsored by General Galaxy as well. Epsilon Foundation it seems has a connection to General Galaxy if they are selling those.
Not to mention Galaxy escorts are similar to battleships sold by Epsilon.

The Sv-262 which was developed so as to also meet the demands of Windermere, is a state of the art variable fighter produced by SV Works.
It was designed as an interceptor and for base defense and exhibits incredible climb rate, acceleration, and mobility, but the amount of internal propellant it can hold is low and its range outside of the atmosphere is limited
The greatest feature of the fighters built for the aerial knights is the reheat system which is equipped with fold quartz excavated from the Protoculture ruins of Windermere. It is a device that is based on the same principle as the fold wave system but it is mainly purposed for overboosting, and while it does have fold wave relay and amplification functions, they are limited.
No wonder the Sv-262Hs can keep up with the VF-31 Siegfried's Fold Wave System, besides having a strong Fold Receptor pilot it has an inferior version of the Fold Wave System. The VF-31 Siegfried uses a version of the Fold Wave System used by the YF-29. Fold Dimensional Resonance System of the YF-30 is a more advanced version of the Fold Wave System.

Airframe Explanation
VBP-1/VA-110 Neo Guraaji
A variable battle pod that's based on the EVA (Enemy Valkyrie, Enemy Variable Fighter) that was developed by use of the Earth side's technology which was leaked to the lost Zentraadi in the latter half of the 2010s. The Neo Guraaji is an EVA that the Macross Combine completed while taking in the design of such things as the VF-4 Lightning; the EVA having not achieved the rebirth of high-performance Guraaji.
This craft, which was developed as one of the candidates for the AVF Plan, has had high-manoeuvrability and a large quantity of fire power handed over to it, additional speed in fighter form, and has perfect performance in hand-to-hand combat in GERWALK* due to a pin-point barrier and strengthened SWGA. And even though it has been assigned the dogfighting abilities of such things as the VF-19 and VF-22, it has earned a favourable reputation among Zentraadi soldiers as a powerful heavy attack craft. It has excellent electronic warfare functions, and is able to control both the QF-3000 and QF-4000 Ghost fighters.**
However, from the consideration of that high-performance, the cockpit is extremely narrow, and although it is for the Zentraadi, it's said that unless the pilot is a Meltrandi with a small physique, the true specifications won't be pulled out of the airframe. Even though a micron-use airframe also exists as the VA-110, as it has a design who's prerequisite is the Zentraadi health-function feedback, it is hard to say that it could perfectly reproduce the Neo-Guraaji's fighting abilities. Most of the craft deployed to "Fasces" are preferentially deployed to Zentraadi soldiers who adore Naresuan
Spoiler for Macross Chronicle Variable Glaug and Neo Glaug:
Variable Guraaji
A Zentraadi one-man Guraaji Battle Pod aircraft development series. In the same way as the Variable Fighters in the Earth side, it transforms to the three forms of Fighter, GERWALK, and Battroid. Even though it's said to have been a weapon that a Zentraadi Insurrection Element developed with obtained Earth technology, its details are unknown. It was invested into action when the Anti Unification Power conducted terrorist activities against the Development Experiment Facilities on planet Cristrania, and it fought against the Dancing Skull Special Forces Unit. After the battle, it turned out that Moaramia Jifon, the person, the restrained person that boarded the aircraft, was a 6-year old Zentraadi girl. After that, she was accepted as the adopted child of husband and wife Max and Miria of the Dancing Skull Unit, and she also became a team member of that same unit. Although the original Variable Guraaji had a Zentraadi size cockpit, just like the archetype craft, when Moaramia -who husband and wife Max [and Miria] took care of- received My-clonization, the Variable Guraaji was improved to an aircraft with an Earthling-sized cockpit. In addition, it later became clear that Moaramia was an experimental body for the analysis of the Zentraadi factor, which was conducted by the insurrection organization. [Source: Macross M3]*
Neo-Guraaji
An aircraft that is considered to have been a Zentraadi "Guraaji" Battle Pod -which were recovered by the Unified Forces after the First Interstellar War- that was studied and improved upon by the technology of the Earth side. Although the exterior and transformation mechanism are both basically shared with the Variable Guraaji, the relationship between both aircraft is unknown (it's likely that the Variable Guraaji is considered to be an aircraft based on the Neo-Guraaji that was improved upon by the Anti Unification Power. There's also a rumour that Sharon Apple hacked it, and it fought against the YF-19 in the Sharon Apple Incident in 2040. [Source: Macross Plus -Game Edition-]*
However SV Works got bought by Epsilon Foundation that may not have necessarily Anti-UN motivations. Meaning we don't know what is Berger Stone's end game. Certainly he is playing all sides. NUNS, Anti-UN engineers and Windermere.

Spoiler for Liner Notes VF History translated by Wakusei from Macross World:
Alexi Kurakin
Fortunately for humanity, the leader of the VF-4 project, Alexi Kurakin, miraculously survived the interstellar war. Kurakin was the man who led the VF-4 project from start to finish, but he had once been a member of the ASS-1 survey team and later developed the SV-51 variable fighter under the Anti-Unification Alliance. However, he had been simply working under the powers in control of his motherland and not out of any political ideology.
The SV-51 was considered to possess performance equivalent to the VF-0 or better in certain conditions and greatly impacted development of the VF-1. After making the SV-51, he defected to the UN government. Under the United Nations military prior to Space War 1, Kurakin worked as a civilian engineer in the VF-1’s development, after which he became a contracted employee of Stonewell Belcom, where he suddenly was left in charge of the VF-4 project. This was of course because they recognized his ability in the creation of the SV-51 which had rivaled the VF-0 in performance.
A development division and factory for the VF-4 project were built on South Ataria, and when a section and work space were set up inside the SDF-1 Macross, Kurakin assigned his deputy chief, who could be called his right hand, to lead the section while he would work on the island. The section chief was Oleg Fedorov, who traveled with the SDF-1 in its so-called journey back to Earth.
On the day of the SDF-1 Macross’ launching ceremony and the attack on South Ataria by Britai’s fleet, Federov witnessed the activation of the SDF-1’s booby trap while attending the ceremony and immediately went to inspect his section in the ship. The SDF-1 then executed a space fold, and Federov and the other engineers who escaped no longer had the luxury to carry out their research and were tasked with maintenance, repair, and upgrading of the VF-1 squadrons. The valuable findings they gained from handling actual combat aircraft proved to be invaluable in later upgrades to the VF-1 and tactical analysis and would be passed on to the VF-4 project, needless to say.
On the day the SDF-1 folded out, Kurakin, also at the ceremony, avoided catastrophe by boarding a transport plane or helicopter escaping from the island. He was taken in by a nearby UN Navy carrier and changed his base of operations to work on the VF-4 project. He was based at the Grand Cannon in Alaska but luckily for him he was moved to the Apollo base with a test model right before the battle against the Bodol main fleet. Having survived Space War 1, he was directly commissioned by the UN Spacy to continue work on the VF-4 project. This was because the competing VF-3 Project was lost along with its staff due to the attack by the Bodol main fleet, and the survivors of the original VF-1 development team had their hands full with improving the VF-1. Federov also joined his project.
Through part of the development of the VF-4 series, Kurakin sought to achieve an airframe that surpassed the VF-1 in aerial maneuverability. To do that he even thought that transformation was unnecessary, but it wasn’t that he dismissed the idea. As evidence to that, for all models he made prototypes that could transform. He had later said, “The VF’s transformation is like a sudden mutation in the genes of an organism and if used in the right manner it could break stalemates or snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I hoped it would serve as a catalyst in extend the conscious of a pilot." Kurakin himself had developed the SV-51 before the interstellar war and could not have anticipated the full scope of the transforming ability of the VF. He hoped that the added functionality to the fighter aircraft would create something that surpassed the expectations of its designers, and that it would be created by pilots placed in extreme situations. The fact of the matter is that there had been numerous reports of dramatic comebacks in situations where transformation was used by some skilled VF-1 pilots, and it was by reflecting those lessons learned in combat to the whole that the VF gained superiority over all else as a tactical weapon used by individuals. This is ultimately due to such possibilities and versatility being incorporated since the birth of the VF, but Kurakin’s genius was that he had implemented these uncertain factors while presenting a convincing and concrete argument to get permission for development from the military.
However there was a reason why even Kurakin had to give up on adding the transforming mechanism to the VF-4. The transforming mechanism of the VF-4 was excluded due to constraints that prevented sufficient enough time to be allocated to R&D and also because he was in agreement with the UN Spacy, which desired a fighter that would be easier to achieve flying qualifications for than the transformable VF-1 in order to get as many pilots into combat as possible. As a result, the VF-4 in all of its variations came to have specs surpassing the VF-1 and had the high evaluation of surpassing the VF-1 in operating rates and maintainability. After development of the VF-4, Kurakin did not join Shinsei Industries but created General Galaxy, and though the number of models that did end up being mass produced were few, he did create many excellent variable fighters.
Kurakin foresaw that with humanity’s sudden emergence into galactic space, it would be fighting against humanity that would escalate more than that against Zentradi. The main weapon in a war of humans versus humans would be the VF. Kurakin set up the SV design division as a special development team in General Galaxy. The SV design division worked on designs of “anti-VF VFs,” and there is talk of prototyping and limited run production, but this is of course top secret and the facts of it are unknown. There are also rumors of field testing on colony planets such those on the frontier.
As these aircraft constantly possessed maneuverability surpassing the mainstream fighters of the UN Spacy at all times, they were called VF-killers. It is also said that the SV in SV development division is Slayer of VF or Slayer of Valkyrie.
If the VFs made by Shinsei Industry are the yang, then the VFs made by General Galaxy as their yang counterparts could be said to have made great contributions to improving each other’s and all of the galaxy’s VF technology. Kurakin died in 2036, but up until then he personally led the development of a new fighter (what became the VF-9 Cutlass). And even now General Galaxy is continuing to produce VF-Killers.
Well with the VF-4 even considered not to include the transforming feature was mentioned once before. Kurakin and Federov are like the main timeline counterparts to Dr. H. Takachihoff who founded Takachihoff Company in the Macross II timeline.
Can someone clarify for me, which class of variable fighter is the one that the NUN Spacy uses in episode 1, 4, 6, etc.? The one with the solid brown coloration.
What are the main protagonist fighter classes in the series prior to Delta?
Depends what you put on it. They are all commonly designated as space superiority 'Variable Fighters', but equipment and accessories make a big difference. For example, some come with heavy support weapons, others are dedicated to recon and they can be interchanged.
There had been one dedicated ground-support VF I can recall, that being the VA-3M Invader.
That's not what I meant. I mean which variable fighter class is the primary one used by the male protagonist pilot and/or his squadmates in each series?
That's not what I meant. I mean which variable fighter class is the primary one used by the male protagonist pilot and/or his squadmates in each series?
When you say 'class', you are asking what they are designed for or designation. Since thats not the case, I am going to assume you are inquiring about numerical designations.
VF-1 in Super Dimension Fortress Macross
YF-19 & YF-21 in Macross Plus
VF-11, VF-19 & VF-19 in Macross 7
VF-25, VF-27 & VF-29 in Macross Frontier
What, so you're telling me that it's wrong to say "Star Trek's Constitution class" or Star Wars's Acclamator class"?
First of all, you listed two examples that aren't fighters. Second, I had no idea what you were asking. Nobody use 'class' to designate fighters, except maybe medium, light, heavy, interceptor, air-superiority, ground-support... etc. But I've yet to hear something akin to 'Fighting Falcon'-class multirole fighter aka F-16. Hell, even in Star Wars, a X-Wing is just that, a X-Wing 'interceptor'.
If you are wondering about similar class designation, then they are also present for Macross capital ships, but there aren't any for fighters. Now, if you want specific nomenclature, then there is that.
Sv-262Hs Draken III
The Variable Fighter used by the Windermere Kingdom. For its development, the Sv-262 has roots in the Sv-51, and the Sv-262's originated in the participation of engineers that were descended from the Anti-Unification Alliance - which despite being defeated in the Unification War, was proud of its great technological strength. For that reason, one can perceive a development ideology that clearly differentiates it from the other Valkyries in the Draken III. A commander Hs model and a general Ba model exist.

YF-27-5 Shaher Femail Airframe Explanation
The YF-27-5 was developed by Macross Galaxy Fleet's Variable Fighter Development Arsenal "Guld Works", based on the YF-24 Evolution, as one of the prototype's of the new model Variable Fighter VF-27 "Lucifer". It has a wing-shape which is close to the YF-24's wing-shape.
This craft is a development type that is directly descended from the VF-22, and in a control system that evolved from the BDI (Brain Direct Image) System, achieves completely implanted control by adopting controls that are directly connected to the brain. Moreover, because this is a technology-proving craft, it is not equipped with ISC as the engine output is not secure.
In addition to the use of visual stealth for secret missions and so-called optical camouflage in the armour, dazzle camouflage has been applied in order to misidentify the YF-27-5's direction of travel.
The BGP-02?, which is the characteristic armament, is the large edition of the BGP-01? and is suspended and used under the right wing, because it cannot be maintained in the lower part of the aircraft. There is a reactor energy unit dedicated to the BGP-02? suspended on the left wing to maintain balance. This craft was put into the black operations of the Galaxy Company and took in a large amount of combat data for "Guld Works". This same company is said to have developed a mass-production craft who's degree of completion by illegal means is high. Even though they cannot be proud of compliments on their technique, when the perfection of the VF-27 was seen afterwards, their technique must have been effective.

YF-27-5 Shaher ♀ (Female)
One of the prototypes of the new model VF-27, that the Macross Galaxy Fleet Variable Fighter Development Arsenal "Guld Works" developed. The wing shape is close to that of the YF-24. As a variant directly descended from the VF-22, in addition to a control system that evolved from the BDI System, it uses directly brain control by Implant Technology.
Down: In order to collect data, it "intruded" into the "Celestial Cup", and challenged the Vanquish racers to hand-to-hand combat.
One of the high-end models of the Queadluun-series which was designed by Quimeliquola Arsenal during the Stellar Republic dissolution conflict. Although it was considered to have been designed for the fleet commander of the female officers' fleet for the front lines, most of the records were lost so this is not certain.
The super high-maneuverability missile launchers is the similar to the main equipment of the Queadluun-Rau, but the load capacity is 4-times greater due to the enlarged backpack. In addition, the arm pulse laser guns have such a high output that it can penetrate the anti-beam-coated armor on a VF-171 Nightmare Plus, if was equipped with it.
The design, developed by Earth engineers who defected to rogue Zentradi who designed the Feious Valkyrie, incorporated the technology from the enemy Valkyrie with the Queadluun-Rau and it has a variable function to a high-speed flight form.
The ether wave emitted by the remains of the Protodeviln, is used by Angers 672 through the astral world and the system to create a physical force field barrier is incorporated which could theoretically endue a direct hit from a Macross Cannon. It is unknown whether or not this inherent feature was originally provided in this system.
In 2030 November, several Zentradi elements revolted on Earth, culminating in the Second [Defensive] Battle of Macross City. During these incidents, former Zentradi soldiers (which had earlier deserted the 63254109th Zentradi Outer Space Army) captured a VF-X-11 equipped with a fold booster. Thereafter, UN pilots began reporting sightings of a previously unknown variable combat device. This device, which they codenamed "Enemy Valkyrie" or "EVA" (pronounced "i-va"), shocked the United Nations Forces with its speed, power, and transformability. It incorporated the UN Forces' variable fighter technology with the Zentradi Army's powered suit technology, and its capabilities appear to approach, if not exceed, those of the UN's VF-19 and VF-22. This was also the personal mecha of the Black Rainbow terrorist organization leader, Timoshie Daldanton.
Basically enemy VFs with exception of Protodevlin redesigned ones can be attributed one way on another to General Galaxy field testing them on frontier planets by leaking to Anti-UN groups who then leak them to Lost Zentradi. Started by the designer of the Sv-51 himself. His SV Works had a hand with the Variable Glaug used by Anti-UN Zentradi, Sv-154 Svard and Sv-262 Draken III. Highly suspect with the Feious Valkyrie too as General Galaxy employed their engineers to the Queadluun Alma. The General Galaxy branch Guld Works on Macross Galaxy developed the YF-27, prototype of the VF-27, field testing it by attacking a VF race. Macross Galaxy illegally massed produced the VF-27 without informing Earth or NUNS Central used in their bid to take over the Galaxy. It isn't just VF but also a Zentradi battlesuit, Queadluun Alma. General Galaxy built the Queadluun Rhea and given the parts compatibility the Super Glaug and Type-106 Regult. Makes you wonder if General Galaxy produced the battlesuits seen only in Macross Plus OVA episode 1.
Interesting in keeping up with metafiction Macross Delta suggest Frontier TV events but movie mechanics with the YF-29. Much like Macross 7 it seems operating on TV series story but DYRL visuals.
Fiction within fiction means they can use whatever they want from past stories without having to explain contradictions. It's a smooth cop-out and the very least of the issues Macross has.
Thermonuclear reaction system
Gravity control technology etc. introduced in conventional nuclear reaction theory. It is widely used for power of ships and destroyed (thermonuclear reactor), thrust of aircraft (thermonuclear turbine engine), weapons (reactive bullet) and so on.
Thermonuclear reactor
It is widely adopted as a large output power engine of race derived from protoculture such as Zentoradi and inspector troops as well as human being who investigated the crashed macross and commercialized the reactor ( nuclear fusion reactor ).
Thermonuclear turbine engine
Small nuclear power propulsion engine using nuclear fusion (Thermo-Nuclear Reactor Turbine Engine) installed in VF series etc. The propellant (propellant) is heated and expanded by the thermal energy of the reactor ( nuclear fusion reactor ) and injected as a high temperature plasma flow to obtain thrust.
The advantages compared with conventional jet engines are
It can be used in all areas as a jet engine in the atmosphere and as a rocket engine outside the atmosphere without changing the engine just by replacing the propellant.
Compared with conventional chemical fuel, consumption of reactant (nuclear fuel) is extremely small, so the in-cylinder fuel space is greatly reduced and deformation mechanism can be introduced.
Since it is possible to compress the inexhaustible air in the atmosphere and use it for the propellant, it adds to the reason of 2 and in effect obtains an infinite cruising distance.
The initial type thermonuclear turbine engine mounted on the VF - 1 was not much different from the jet engine in terms of thrust. In addition, although capacity shortage of propellant (hydrogen compound) outside the atmosphere was a problem, these were solved by booster and additional equipment (FAST pack) which also serves as a tank increasing tank. In the next- generation thermionic nuclear burst turbine engine (Thermo-Nuclear Reactor burst Turbine Engine) mounted on the VF-16, the theory of heat exchange has advanced, the propellant consumption rate outside the atmosphere has been greatly improved, Nearly doubled. This made it possible to break through the Atmosphere by itself and Space Cruise without FAST pack. In the early 2050's, the " Stage II thermonuclear turbine engine " with a high output distinct from conventional engines appears [6] . The enormous surplus output of this Stage II engine made it possible to install more powerful beam weapon as standard, to develop energy conversion armor and pinpoint barrier in all forms.
Okay to achieve nuclear fusion they use Gravity manipulation. Frak no wonder they went from a clean nuke to a black hole bomb.
