Story introduction of “Macross Zero (MACROSS Zero)”
In 2008, the earth was divided into two camps and launched a war of unification.

However, the “Anti-Unification Federation” of the opposition also carried out their actions, and the last “Unification War” began in 2001. A few years later, the reflection of the legacy of the first civilization was found in the waters near Mayang Island, a remote island in the South China Sea. For this “Birdman” legacy, the United Army opposed the Anti-Union Alliance. After being shot down, United Army pilot Kudo Susumu moved to Mayang Island and was rescued by the island witch Sarah Nomu and her sister Mao. As the war between the two camps gradually spreads to the island, Jin and Sarah struggle with each other but are attracted to each other. At the same time, Mao also developed an admiration for Jin. As the battle progressed, the three of them were independently involved in the battle for the “Birdman”.
