Chronicle Glossary 01: Armoured Pack ~ Atlantis DomeFrontあ Aアーマードパック [ZERO,M,7,F,Ai]
Armoured PackIn general it is a VF use system that increases armour as well as expandes the firearms (available to a VF). They might also be named Armoured Parts and Armoured Equipment. Though this optional armament equipment for VFs possesses high bullet resistance and great firepower, the operation [practical use] of this expensive equipment is limited. In addition, due to a purge function, the equipment can be instantaneously removied, and action [conduct] can be continued like a regular VF.
Caption: "Armoured Pack": Though at first the equipment could only be operated in battroid form; with the VF-25, it is able to completely change to other forms while equipped with the armoured pack.
アーマードバルキリー [M, Ai]
Armoured ValkyrieThe nickname [popular name, alias] of a battroid form VF-1 when it is equipped with the special use Protector Weapon System GBP-1S. The GBP-1S is a thing developed with the purpose of improving the ability [performance] of a VF-1's close-combat weapons by highly bullet-resistance and a great number of internally mounted live ammunition. However, because the transformation system is spoiled when it is installed, in the situation when a pilot must transform to fighter, gerwalk and so on, it is necessary to purge the equipment.
Caption: "Armoured Valkyrie": With the exception of special forces, the equipment isn't approved for general use, as it has a high-cost due to the drastic improvement in bullet-resistance and firepower,
アームド [M]
ARMDThe Space Carrier constructed with the prerequisite of cooperation [coordination, link] with the SDF-1 Macross. Though ARMD 01 and ARMD 02 were scheduled to operate docked with the main body of the Macross, they were sunk by the Buritai Fleet of the Zentraadi Forces that appeared on the very day of the Macross's Space Launch ceremony in 2009. The main carrier-based aircraft on the ARMD are SF-3A Lancer II and QF-3000E Ghost.
Caption: "ARMD" It can be said that they were constructing up to 8 ships. Though they were attached to the Defence Force above Earth's satellite orbit, they were crushed [defeated] by the all-at-once attack of the Bodol main fleet.
アームド [Ai]
ARMDAre space carriers that were remodeled (ARMD) 01 and (ARMD) 02 in the middle of construction as space fighter use Space Rigs, and were diverted into the SDF-1's tactical system's ship-borne military force station. They were operated connected to the Macross as a (the?) ARMD system. They are equipped with a lot of carrier-borne aircraft, such as the VF-1, QF-3000E and others.
Caption: "ARMD" ARMD-01 is connected on the portside of Macross, and 02 is connected on the starboard side, and they form the VF-1 mothership part of the SDF-1's tactical system.
ARMD 362 舞鶴 [7, F]
ARMD 362 MaizuruThe Guantánamo class stealth space carrier which is the successor model [variant] of the ARMD class. Though the basic structure is not greatly different with the founding ARMD class, and because a fold system was built into it, it can navigate [sail] by fold on it's own.* The (Guantánamo class) is suitable for mass production, is deployed in great numbers as the main carrier of emigrant fleets, and even played an active role in the Macross Frontier fleet in the 2050's.
*Translator's note: there's a nuance of the ARMD class ships not able to navigate by fold unless in a group or with another class of ship equipped with a fold system.
Caption: "ARMD 362 Maizuru" A lot of ships of the same shape were mass produced, and were deployed as the main carrier of the Macross 7 fleet at that time in 2045.
アーリントン墓地 [F]
Arlington CemetaryThe public cemetary for memorializing the war dead, in Macross Frontier Fleet's Island 1. Besides the memorial cenotaph, there is the remains processing facility that disassembles remains into resources.
Caption: "Arlington Cemetary" In the Macross Frontier fleet, in which there were many casualties from combat with the Vajra, there was a grand combined funeral service held for the New UN Forces military personnel.
RC-4E ラビット [Ai]
RC-4E RabbitA small long-range messenger boat loaded into the SDF-1. As it can put out the high speed of an average fighter, it could also be called, "Dimiddo Bunny"*. Several kinds of a number of airframe variations exist, with long range radar equipment, light armaments, and so on.
Caption: "RC-4E Rabbit" Hayase Misa accompanied by Lynn Kaifun used it to call back Lynn Minmei and Hikaru Ichijo, who had used a Valkyrie without permission for a date. The RC-4E Rabbit was captured by the Zentraadi Forces afterwards.
*Translator's note: this is the romanization of the text as written. It could be a typo. If so, then the most logical rendering would become "Timid Bunny".
愛・おぼえていますか [7,F]
Do you remember love?The title of the heatrically released production whose theme depicted Space War I and Lynn Minmei's love [passion]. It is also the title of the song that Lynn Minmei sings during the performance. As depicted in the movie, mankind's role, the character's last moments and so on, the armed forces uniforms, VFs and so on, and historical fact seems to have differing parts, too.
Besides, Fire Bomber's Mireenu Jiinasu was singing it in the encounter with the strayed Zentraadi; and it was the 1 soung coupled with Ranka Rii's first single.
Caption: "Do you remember love?" Ranka Rii when she was manipulated by Grace O'conner sang it to drive the Vajra to fight.

Lynn Minmei sang this in the decisive battle with Gol Bodolza, and led the human race to victory.
ISC [F]
ISCInertia Store Converter (ISC).
The common name of that transformation system and the inertia storer that was adopted into the VF-25 and VF-27 is inertial buffer, inertia buffer and so on.
In a structure [contrivance] that if by it's nature deals with the dispertion [dissemination] of inertia that must be dealt with temporarily, with a temporary dimensional distortion field, it converts and stores the portion of the inertia that the airframe, pilot and so on are unable to withstand [endure], and with time gently returns the stored inertial energy to the airframe and pilot, thus making it possible to excessively exceed the endurance limits of the airframe, human body and so on.
Caption: "ISC" The VF-25, which has had the inertial buffer installed, essentially realizes that a manned craft can do high manuevers with Gs that a pilot wouldn't be able to endure.
あい君 [F]
Ai-kunThe Vajra larva that Ranka Lee unknowingly kept. It was named "Ai-kun" after Ranka's favourite song "Aimo", and it's basket in Ranka's room had "Ai-Kun♥" written on it. For returning Ai-kun, who had molted and become a 2nd form larva, to the Vajra homeworld, Ranka who had received Burera Sutaan's aid, left the Macross Frontier Fleet. In those circumstances, Ai-kun led Ranka to the homeworld.

Moreover, even though the "Aimo ~ Bird Human" version was used as the ending theme of the theatrical movie "TORI NO HITO - Bird Human -", a single was not done due to Ranka's idea [thought, opinion].
Caption: "Aimo" The origin of the song is said to be a song of love calling out "Aimo = Dear*" that the Vajra do for mating [crossbreeding] with other groups of Vajra that live in other galaxies**, once every hundred million years.
* literally "you", but as this second person pronoun is almost never used except from a wife to her husband, the term with the correct implied connotation is being used in the above.
** Unclear if there is only one other group of Vajra in another galaxy, or many other groups in many other galaxies.
アイモ記念日 [F]
