This particular installment is of great interest, because it's a prequel to the original Macross series. It takes place approximately 1 year before the events of Macross, and is considered part of the official timeline, even though it does change certain facts, such as the ages of previous Macross characters, and the introduction of the never-before-seen VF-0 Valkyrie. The new story also implies that variable fighters have been used in combat before the launch of the SDF-1 Macross and the start of the First Space War. While this goes against previously established history, it makes for a great plot, because it describes the wars that took place shortly after the crash of the ASS-1 (Alien Space Ship 1 eventually rebuilt into the SDF-1 Macross) and events before the First Space War. The cast of Macross Zero brings back few of the original characters, save Roy Fokker and Edgar LaSalle, who is apparently related to Claudia. The main protagonist -- Shin Kudo, lost his parents in the war, fights for a day where the "earth no longer shakes".
