Sketchley's Macross Gateway

RPG stats by AARON SKETCHLEY (aaronsketch@hotmail.com)

The locations guide is a guide of locations in the various Macross productions, and what locations the author is aware of from various Macross RPG games. The author has also included what he feels are noteworthy objects to stimulate the imaginations of the readers, and star systems that are known in the real world and highly likely to have been explored in the Macross Universe.

For a more complete understanding of stellar objects, the reader is advised to explore the following: Milky Way Arms and mapping, The Milky Way, List of stars, List of brightest stars, List of heaviest stars, List of largest stars, Black hole, Intermediate-mass black hole, and Supermassive black hole.

Refer to the page on the Sol System for a realistic idea of the shear number and variety of potential objects in a star system.

Fictional Macross entries are in darkgreen.

    Sector 1 - The Core of the UNG

    The most understood, explored, colonized and best defended sector of the UNG. It is considered the 'home turf' of humanity, and any unauthorized defolds into the sector are generally met with lethal force. The sector is ball-shaped, with a radius of 100 light years based on Sol/Earth, at the center. It was colonized entirely by Short-Range Emigration Fleets.

    Noteable locations: Earth, Eden, Acheron, Charest (Brittania), Avalon, Avemaria, Banibal, Bellfan, Beneb Star System, Cristrania, Dahan, Fioria, Hydra, Iota, Neo Edo, Neo York, New Asia, Salvation, and Susia.


    Sector 2

    Noteable locations:


    Sector Three



    Sector Four




    Sector Five



    Sector 6


    Is a sector that has seen limited exploration and colony development due to a large black hole - a fold navigation hazard - in the area closest to Sol/Earth. Recently, the colonists in the area have started making extreme overt moves against the UN.

    Noteable locations: Rock 387, Pregas 2 (Iota), BCTC, Dorta, Whade, the Bell Cluster


    Sector 7

    Noteable locations: Agno System (Edlings AFB), Antala, El Dorado, Momoyama, New Patagonia, Sisko ('Nam),



    Sector 8

    Noteable locations: Eskar III, Hasbron, Janix II, Char System (LV-426), Thirty-Four (PCAC #34), Reebox.




    Sector 15




    Sector 19

    Avamore System




    Sector 20

    New Essex




    Sector M183-92

    "Close to the Galactic Centre, far to the north and east of Earth." The sector (based on the Galactic coordinate system, and not the UNG system) is full of some 100 to 200 star systems. The sector is believed to contain the ruins of several abandoned Protoculture colonies. Several Zentraedi warlords are fighting for control of the sector. The largest and strongest of the warlords is Commander Renrak leader of the 3,568th Renrak Fleet. The nearest United Nations Government worlds are small and unimportant. They are a 'significant' number of light years away in Sector 19, and slightly more than 75 light-years beyond that, the major UNG sector capital and major fleet repair yards of New Patagonia, in Sector 7.

    Noteable locations: Estuary, Fechin, Fordast, Potekar, Teradai (M-15 Fleet), Vaylan-Fianthas
