Macross (マクロス, Makurosu, English: /məˈkrɒs/) is a Japanese science fiction mecha anime
media franchise/media mix, created by Studio Nue (most prominently mecha designer, writer
and producer Shōji Kawamori) and Artland in 1982. The franchise features a fictional history of
Earth and the human race after the year 1999, as well as the history of humanoid civilization in
the Milky Way. It consists of four TV series, four movies, six OVAs, one light novel, and five
manga series, all sponsored by Big West Advertising, in addition to 40 video games set in the
Macross universe, two crossover games, and a wide variety of physical merchandise.

Within the series, the term Macross is used to denote the main capital ship. This theme began in
the original Macross, the SDF-1 Macross.

Overtechnology refers to the scientific advances discovered in an alien starship ASS-1 (Alien
Star Ship - One later renamed Super Dimension Fortress - One Macross) that crashed on South
Ataria island. Humans were able to reverse engineer the technology to create the mecha (variable
fighters and destroids), faster-than-light space fold drive for starships and other advanced
technologies that the series features. The first TV series was adapted into the first season of
Robotech in 1985, with edited content and a revised script.
