The Robotech Masters subject human prisoners to a series of mental probes, to determine the extent of their knowledge of Protoculture. Their concern is twofold: without Protoculture, their civilization will crumble; and eventually their archenemies, the Invid, will sense the presence of Protoculture on Earth... and come looking for it!

Dana's Story

A new threat has surfaced, for the next generation of Robotech Defenders, who have grown up in the wake of Earth's first victory over their alien invaders. Calling themselves the 'Robotech Masters', this ancient race of techno-voyagers has come to the Earth to claim the mysterious substance known as Protoculture.

False Start

The Robotech Masters bring the war to Earth, as they attempt to reclaim their lost Protoculture. The 15th Tactical Armored Corp is put to the test.

The United Earth Defense forces plan a daring mission which could decide the fate of the entire world! Answering a call for volunteers, Dana Sterling offers the services of the 15th Tactical Armored Division in an operation to reestablish communications with Earth's triple satellite com-link, Space Station Liberty. The assignment throws Lt. Sterling & her squad into the lap of Marie Crystal, Dana's friendly rival. The action is heavy as this band of Robotech Defenders work together toward a common goal.

Volunteers

Using the main bulk of their Tactical Armored Space Corp, the Robotech Defenders plan to test the mettle of their mysterious enemies.

Danger Zone

The war returns to the Earth, as the Robotech Masters press the attack. The control of Protoculture is essential, if the Robotech Masters are to maintain their hold on the interplanetary syndicate that they've created. And so, a battle which starts out with regimented discipline, and high hopes for victory on both sides, degenerates into a brutal and undefendable, high tech brawl.

An advanced recon vessel blasts into the vicinity of Earth from hyperspace, only to find their home planet surrounded by an armada of gigantic alien warships! Unable to make contact with Earth, and remembering what happened to their planet in the past when it was invaded by the Zentraedi, the crew of this heavily armed starship make a desperate decision, to meet the alien armada with a surprise attack. The outcome of their effort is uncertain.

Lt. Nova Satori begins a complex psychological profile on a captured alien Bioroid pilot, identified only as Zor. The Supreme Command of the Army of the Southern Cross believes that the debriefing of this particular alien, might provide them with the key to unlock the riddle of this new interstellar war. Meanwhile, Dana practices on a battle simulator hoping to explain her empathy for this captured alien, and to end any doubts about her ability to defend the planet.

Deja Vu

It is decided to induct Zor into the Army of the Southern Cross, in the hopes that an association with a military environment would spur his lost memory, and provide some important clues to the origin & tactical strength of the Earth's powerful and mysterious interplanetary enemies, the Robotech Masters. Lt. Dana Sterling relishes the assignment of turning Zor into a human being! It is an assignment which brings her closer to solving a personal mystery surrounding her own origins, as well as giving her an opportunity to test her charms as a woman on an unsuspecting subject.

A New Recruit

The United Earth forces pull together to mount a full scale attack on the armada of the Robotech Masters. Dana Sterling & the 15th Tactical Armored Division are left behind. It is a plan masterminded by Commander Leonard, a command that did not pass by the mysterious Robotech Elders.

Triumvirate

The control of space in the immediate vicinity of planet Earth forms the battle strategy mapped out by Supreme Commander Leonard, as he forces his entire fleet of cosmic warships to engage the armada of gigantic alien battle cruisers in combat. It is the classic situation of David & Goliath, only this time, the legendary rock hurled by David is a massive barrage of laser cannons and powerful proton torpedoes! The Second Robotech War may not turn out the same as the first. The Robotech Masters are playing for keeps, with their entire civilization at stake the odds are too great to permit failure.
