The humans eventually rebuilt the cruiser and renamed it SDF-1 Macross, but over the course of its reconstruction, many nations opposed the United Nations Government began fighting a series of wars known as the Unification Wars and after last of the Anti-U.N. Forces had surrendered, the intended launch for the Macross did not go a plan and instead a disastrous first contact with the Zentradi who were tracking the ship occurred, beginning Space War I.
