NEW MACROSS DEFENCE INSTITUTE - GENESIS : 1ST ROBOTECH WAR Part 05
Frustrated by the lack of progress over his mission to capture the SDF-1, Commander Breetai Kridanik hatches a new scheme with the help of his trusted Domillan (Advisor), Exedore Formo. His plan is almost flawless, however, when Breetai add in another variable in his stratagem despite Exedore’s objections, a whole war scenario begin to change. It all begins when Breetai summons the Zentraedi wild card, the Botoru 7th Mechanised Division – Khyron Kravshera Command. A black sheep, wily, undisciplined unruly Zentraedi outfit in the entire Zentraedi Armada, lead by their illustrious Commander, Khyron Kravshera, the Botoru Divison is known to commit the most brutal, bloody & ruthless war conducts. Even the most experienced Zentraedi troopers fear Khyron, already infamous for his penchant of killing his own troops, alas even Zentraedi Domillans oft warned their Fleet Commanders of Khyron’s unpredictability & over-zealous ambitions despite his successes in every battlefronts. Alas, it is that unpredictability’s that Khyron possesses that piques Breetai’s interest to include him in the confrontations against the new, unpredictable foe, the ‘Micronians’ (derogatory terms to any primitive alien species deem by the Robotech Masters).
In October 2009, SDF-1 receives a distress signal coming from Mars, despite from records stating that Mars Base Sara is an abandoned colony & there are no survivors from earlier conflict. During their brief stopover in Mars to collect supplies from the abandoned base, underground gravity mines trap SDF-1, lay earlier by Khyron troops, & has to fend off Khyron forces ferocious assault. UNDF personnel aboard SDF-1 have never witness such cunning & overdoses of ferocities committed the Zentraedi as based upon their previous encounters. However, SDF-1 manages to break free by detonating the reflex reactor of Sara Base to free itself & emerges victorious in Battle of Mars Base Sara.
Suffers the 1st setback in his illustrious career, Khyron vows to destroy the battlefortress & its occupants. His deep hatred for the humans is further demonstrated by his forces every actions against SDF-1. His most hostile intentions become to be known by Breetai when in January 2010, Khyron’s ship fires a shot to SDF-1 command tower while the battleforess is hiding deep within the asteroid belt to avoid Zentraedi detection, which resulting in the destruction of the ship’s long range radar – despite Breetai’s order of only firing warning shots. Exedore’s warnings regarding Khyron reckless actions begin to ring true in Breetai’s ears. However, Khyron’s action in destroying SDF-1’s radar system has its own long term repercussions, something even Breetai, Supreme Commander Dolza, even Khyron himself, as the repercussions tie together with the fate of his warrior race.
In February 2010, a reconnaissance unit under SDF-1’s First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Lisa Hayes & several pilots (from Vermillon Valkyrie Squadron – 2nd Lt. Richard Hunter, Cpl. Maximillian Sterling & Cpl. Bernard Dixon) are captured by Breetai troops. Upon capture, the team is bring along through hyperspace travel to Dolza’s main Headquarters, where they are subject to rigorous interrogations by the Zentraedi Supreme Commander Dolza, Breetai Kridanik, Exedore Formo & several Zentraedi officers. The team manages to escape Dolza’s clutches through sheer luck, by boarding a troop transport ship back to Sol-system. Upon rescue, through findings bring forward by Lt. Cmdr. Lisa Hayes, SDF-1 command learns the true nature of the Zentraedi society, their intentions to reclaim the battlefortress & their bizarre but yet sickening fascination over human mating ritual. Perhaps more importantly, of ‘Protoculture’ – a power source use to fuel Zentraedi terror mechas & spaceships, & the genetic evolution of the Zentraedi. Humans have long use & apply Protoculture cells & generators following Robotechnology breakthroughs in Robotech mechas & space ships, without ever realizing its true name & in extension, its true potential.
