needforspeed Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It appears that on the timeline, by 2016 AD, the Megaroad-01, shortly after colonizing Eden, it has lost communication after getting closer to the centre of the Milky Way galaxy. We all know that there's a supermassive black hole right there, and if they veered too close to there, everyone on board, as well as their escorts were fatally sucked in for good. Or a separate Zentradi group, different than those that threatened the human race 8 years ago, had engaged into a surprise attack in which no VF could ever withstand (Megaroad's no battleship of its own!) Now the question is, how did the Megaroad-01 disappear from existence? Vote it here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the question is, how did the Megaroad-01 disappear from existence? Vote it here! Er... as far as I'm aware, Megaroad-01 was not responsible for colonizing Eden. That was done by one of the hundred-something short-range colony fleets, which were launched starting in the same year Eden was discovered (2013). While there are a good few ways Megaroad-01 could have been destroyed, like wandering too close to a black hole, getting trapped in fold space, or coming out of a fold jump inside the photo-evaporation sphere of a giant star, I've never felt that it was even remotely likely that Megaroad-01 and its attendant fleet of escorts was wiped out. After all, this isn't Gundam we're talking about. Macross tends to be a lot more optimistic and upbeat about humanity's future prospects, and doesn't usually go in for murdering, maiming, or traumatizing every last bloody cast member. Hikaru and Misa have had their happy ending, and sailed off into the proverbial (if not literal) sunset. I like to think that they've simply gotten lost, and either blundered into the remnants of the Protoculture (and are giving them a richly deserved telling-off for screwing up the galaxy) or found a nice world and settled down... a world some New UN Spacy ship will eventually stumble upon.

The Shade Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I agree with Seto. I just think that they just navigated their way beyond even what would be human explored space in Macross Frontier's time and are doing whatever it is that Colony ships do.

sketchley Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Minmei's last message and clues to the fate of the Megaroad-01: http://nomansland.site.nfoservers.com/MRG-Active-Archive//forums/index.php?topic=2872.0 One thing to keep in mind is that at the time the fate of the Megaroad 01 was written, real science hadn't discovered that there was a super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy. Also, there is somewhat of a discrepancy on travel times in Macross. In Macross F, it has taken the Macross F fleet some 20 years to get to where it is (near the centre of the galaxy), and apparently even with direct folds, it'll take around 10 years to return to Earth. So, take all the contradictory stuff with a grain of salt. The long and short of it is that the ship and crew have moved beyond Macross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
