The Invid Regent takes Tirol. Sickened by his bloodlust, the Regis leaves Optera for Praxis to carry on with her Genesis Pit experiments.
 |
The Robotech Elders, last of the Masters except for Cabell, leave Tirolspace.
The Robotech Expeditionary Force arrive in Fantomaspace and engages the Invid; the fortress's spacefold generators are damaged. (the REF is unaware that the fold has taken
five Earth-years, and believe the date to be 2020.) T.R. Edwards and his Ghost Squadron capture the Living Computer, an organic, telepathic brain the Regent has left behind in Tiresia's Royal Hall.
Tiresians Cabell and Rem inform the Plenipotentiary Council that the Robotech Masters are on their way to Earth. They also reveal to Dr. Lang that spacefold generators require Fanotma's monopole ore.
Privates Karen Penn and Jack Baker are both promoted to lieutenant.
The Sentinels, comprised of Praxians, Garudans, Karbarrans, Haydonites, Spherisians, and Perytonians, formed to liberate planets recently conquered and occupied by the Invid horde, arrive in Tirolspace on the ship Farrago requesting aid in their cause.
Tesla, Master Scientist to the Invid Regent, is a prisoner aboard the conglomerate ship Farrago. The Farrago is a superluminal starship by the Karbarran ore Sekiton, a peat
similar to the Flowers of Life that works only by personal handling with Karbarran natives.
The Zentraedi contingent of the REF agree to be returned to full size (except for Exedore) to mine Fantoma for monopole ore to fuel a new fleet of warships.
The Hunters, Grants, Sterlings, and others join the Sentinels and leave Fantomaspace for Karbarra aboard the Farrago.

Tesla and Burak form a curious partnership.
The Sentinels' ship Farrago is destroyed and the Groundbased Mobile Unit is stranded on Praxis shortly after the Regis's leavetaking for Haydon IV. Wolff, Janice Em, Burak, and Tesla reach the only fold module available in orbit around Praxis and fold towards Fantoma. The rest of the Sentinels are in the remaining veritechs without power in orbit around the dying planet Praxis.

T.R. Edwards holds secret talks with the Regent, and begins a personal campaign to possess Lynn-Minmei.
Tesla begins to follow the Regis' project in evolution, after discovering that mutated fruit from the Flowers of Life on the different planets will change his evolutionary genetic code.
An Invid simulagent in the guise of the Regent is sent to Tirol for "peace talks" and reveals to the REF that the Farrago has been destroyed. The Sentinels are presumed dead.
Wolff and Janice Em return to Tirol and are refused a rescue ship to Praxis to pick up the surviving Sentinels. The Invid Tesla murders the simulagent sent to Tirol by the Regent.
The Road Warriors of Rifts Earth arrive through a rift on Praxis. The brothers, Hawk and Animal of the Chi-Town ‘Burbs gang “The Legion of Doom,” meet up with Sentinels forces in a Genesis Pit.

Wolff "steals" the prototype warship, the SDF-7, and arrives just in time to pick up the Sentinels and their new allies, Hawk and Animal, before the destruction of Praxis. They continue on to Garuda, as Hawk and Animal provide information about their home. The SDF-7 operates superluminally with Sekiton drives.
T.R. Edwards begins to hold sway over the REF's Plenipotentiary Council. Wolff is accused of murder and piracy. Control of the Fantoma mining operations goes to Edwards.
Rick, Lisa, Rem and Karen are captured on Garuda and are interrogated and exposed to the planet's fatal atmosphere. Mistaken as Zor, Rem is taken to Optera for the Regent.
Rem is sent as a gift to the Regis on Haydon IV. With Garuda liberated, Rick, Lisa, and Karen are rescued and are rushed to Haydon IV for the only medication available in the known galaxy.
The Valivarre, under the command of Breetai, leaves Tirolspace (unauthorized) with the much needed monopole ore for the other fleet's warships. The SDF Escort-class warships Tokugawa and Jutland pursue. The Zentraedi have learned how to repair, however, and a space battle ensues.
