Actually, after listening to Exodol and Global's speech about the zentraedi history, I change my statement. The protoculture split on half and one side created the zentran and the other created the supervision army. It seems more likely that the Marduk are one of the split protoculture factions. Most likely the one who created the zentraedi. It's fun to pretend
PS. Some of you sound like the comic book guy. Macross isn't real life. People can piece together whatever they want for it to make sense and YES macross 2 does fit in if you look hard enough and have an imagination. It sure as hell made more sense than anything Nue has released since SDFM. Macross 2012 was just a music video they tossed together to keep fans from rioting. Macross Plus really didn't have anything to do with Macross at all. Macross 7 is like a bad headache that barely has any relation to Macross. Atleast Macross II dealt with Macross in a sobering fasion. The fans have kept the show alive all these years. You better bet your ass they have a say on the matter.
