Before the Invid Storm
As the Global Civil War was about to wipe out humankind, a dying alien genius dispatched the abandoned Super Dimensional Fortress to Earth- and put humanity's future in the hands of a corps of untried, resolute young men and women: the Robotech Defence Force. Then the most feared conquerors in the iniverse attacked, and the real war begins.
Henry Gloval, human captain of the alien spacecraft called the Super Dimensional Fortress, was a practical man- he only asked himself how in the world he had ended pu in command of the stupendously powerful SDF-1 once or twice a day. After all, he had more important things on his mind- for now the Zentraedi had come to claim the alien space fortress as their own...
For more than a year, the humans aboard the SDF-1 had fought and eluded an endless armada of Zentraedi warships. Now the space fotress would have to battle her way back to Earth. But villains came in human form as well as alien- and the treachery of power-hungry men might be the most lethal threat of all...
For two years, Captain Gloval and the crew of the Super Dimensional Fotress had been chased through the solar system by a race of giant alien warriors, only to be grounded and ignored when they returned to planet Earth. But Gloval did not take things lying down. Violating Council dictates, he ordered the SDF-1 airborne. The fate of Earth was at stake...
The alien armada had hunted the mighty SDF-1 across the trackless void of space and now planned to destroy it- along with the human race, it's homeworld, and any aliens who had defected to the Terran side. Every Zentraedi warrior was mobilized for the climactic battle of the Robotech War. For the aliens, like humanity, must win or be obliterated!
The SDF-1 had returned to it's ravaged homeworld and Earth's humans had begun the painstaking process of reconstruction. They and their former enemies, the Zentraedi, now shared a common goal- survival! But all was not well in this bravest of worlds: unaccustomed to a life without warfare, many of the Zentaedi were reverting to their old xenophobic ways...
The Robotech Masters had come to Earth to finish the conquest their Zentraedi warrior- slaves had begun...and a battle-ravaged Earth had to defend itself once more. That was when Dana Sterling, half-Human, half-Zentraedi connander of an elite Hovertank unit, stepped into the spotlight of interstellar history!
An alien fotress had crash-landed on Earth- brought down in the struggle between the Robotech Masters and Earth's Human inhabitants. Now the fortress dared someone to penetrate its dark mysteries. And who better to brave that ship than Dana Sterling's 15th Squadron ATAC's- after all, they had brought the thing down to begin with!
The Robotech Masters' Protoculture Matrix was degenerating, trandforming into the Flower of Life- which was sure to draw the savage, merciless Invid across the galaxy to Earth. But the Army of the Southern Cross vowed to fight to the bitter end. And Dana Sterling waged a desperate wat of her own to uncover the meaning of her strange visions and the secret of her alien heritage.
The Invid Regis had succeeded where the Zentraedi and their Robotech
Masters had failed. Seh had driven her warrior horde across the far reaches
of space to lay claim to the galaxy's last supply of the Flower of Life
and its all-precious offspring, Protoculture.
Earth was conquered, occupied; and it was up to the space-weary verterans
of the Expeditionary Force to retake the planet- a world most of them had
never seen. Only no one had foreseen the disastrous defeat that would greet
the first wave, or the miserable welcome in store for its few and sorry
heros.
The Shapings of the Protoculture had never thrown together a less convertional
band of champions: A downed pilot who is a stranger on his own homeworld.
A former biker hollion who hides her compassion inside a leather-tough
exterior. A young Forager obsessed with the vanishing heritage of Humanity's
lore.
With them ride a souldful, fulking deserter... a leathal Robotech warrior
whose art is all gentleness... an irrepressible adolescent convinced that
the world owes her a Great Romance... and a cloned enemy Simulagent who
can't quite recall who she is.
And somewhere ahread lies Reflex Point, nerve center and stronghold of
the Invid conquerors.
This motley group is Earth's last hope... and it doesn't look like a force
to be reckoned with.
It had been a long hard road for Scott Bernard and his ragtag band of
Robotech irregulars; but the Invid stronghold known as Reflex Point was
finall close at hand, and preparations were under way for a full-scale
assault.
But the Invid Regis was not about to surrender so easily the world she
had come halfway across the galaxy to claim- especially now that her experiments
in racial transmutation were nearing their conclusion.
And no one, Human or Invid, thought to ask whether Protoculture might have
something to say in these matters. But indeed it did; and the final encounter
of the Robotech Wars would be more mystifying than anyone had imagined.
In 2020, a new battle fortress, the SDF-3, was tasked with a trip across the galaxy to make peace with Tirol's Robotech Masters. But the Robotech Masters were already on their way to Earth. And at Tirol, the SDF-3 would face the galaxy's fiercest warlord: the Invid Regent!
Stranded on the far side of the galaxy after battling the Invid hordes, the Robotech Expedittionary Force's chances for survival were slim. But suddenly a starship unlike any other appeared- manned by an increadible assortment of beings detemined to challenge the Invid Regent himself! REF volunteers and their war mecha signed on for a campaign that would mean their destruction- or liberty for the planets of the Sentinals!
Four months had passed without a word from the Sentinals. Fearing the worst, the Expeditionary Mission to Tirol began truce negotiations with the Invid Regent himself. But far away, the surviving Sentinals were stranded on Praxis, a planet in catclysm. Deep within that world's core were answers to the Sentinels' prayers- if they could only reach them before Praxis tore itself apart...
The bearlike Kararrans and the swashbuckling amazons from Praxis, the
feral natives of Garusa and the Human Robotech heros- these oddly-met champions
banded together with other races, from other planets, to form the Sentinels.
Yet, what fighting force could hope to dislodge the Invid hordes from Haydon
IV, ethereal world of superscience and hidden emtional conflict; or Spheris,
crystalline globe of living minerals and murderous resonances?
The Sentinels launched thier attack nevertheless; they've come too far
to surrender to tyranny. But the treachery of a megalomanic Human general
and a mutating Invid P.O.W. make the war seem hopeless.
The Sentinels battle on, through, because for them, it's victory or death!
Optera! Birthday of the Flower of Life and their agents of retributino,
the Invid...nexus for an unfolding of events that had left the galaxy reshaped
and redefined...and now the focal point of the Sentinels' long the Regent's
tyranny.
Edwards is on his way to Optera, in flight from Tirol with his prisoner
Lynn-Minmei and a handful of Invid Inorganics under his control. So too
are Breetai's Zentraedi- closing on the very world the Imperative bade
them defoliate generations ago- and the renegade forces of Telsa, mutated
beyond recognition by the fruits of the Flower.
The Sentinels themselves are not far behind. However, they have Peryton
to deal with first- a godforsaken planet cursed by fate and time itself.
But what awaits Rick, Lisa, and the Human Sentinels there is a mere primer
for what is to come: the realization that they have journeyed across the
galaxy...to wage war against each other!
