1171a.l. Zor is born on Tirol.

1256a.l. Quadrant exploration by the Tiresian techno-voyager dubbed by Zor, the Azstraph--the Venture.

1520a.l. The Azstraph enters the Tzuptum system and inserts itself into orbit around Optera. Zor encounters the Flower of Life, makes contact with the Invid, and seduces the secrets of the Flower from the Queen Mother, the Regis.

1724a.l. Zor creates the first of a race of clones, meant to survive the high-G situations on Fantoma in order to mine ore for his experiments. This first clone(Exedore) was regarded as a failure.

1755a.l. Zor conjures Protoculture from the Flower and eventually falls victim to the Compulsion placed upon him by the Tiresian Council of Elders. Origin of the Cult of the Three-in-One and ascendancy of the Robotech Masters. Fall of the Royal Hall, as the period known as the Great Transition commences.

1920a.l. Aeon "Robotech" begins. Development of the spacefold drive systems for space travel. Creation of Tirol's clone population and neural reprogramming of the Zentraedi miner giants.

88a.r. The complete defoliation of Optera by the Zentraedi.

157a.r. Consolidation of the empire of the Robotech Masters. The Invid, after a burst of monocellular reproduction, declare war on the Robotech Masters.

566a.r. Zor's voyages deliver him to Haydon IV, where he has a profound encounter with the planetoid's artificial sentience, the Awareness, and realizes that Optera was the last source of the Flower of Life. Zor receives a vision of the Invid transmutation and realizes what he must do.

570a.r Zor designs and builds the starship that will come to be called SDF-1 to carry out his Flower of Life reseeding program(hoping to return the Flower to the planet it had originated from, Earth),and backed by a group of loyal Zentraedi, begins his "quiet rebellion" against the Masters.

575a.r. Zentraedi commander-in-chief Dolza forms an uneasy alliance with Zor, who has by now become hopelessly addicted to the dried leaves of the Flower.

580a.r. Zor's clandestine seedings attempts take him to Peryton, Karbarra, Praxis, Garuda, and Spheris.

671a.r. Zor steals the single exsisting Protoculture matrix from Tiresia and conceals it within the spacefold drives of the SDF-1. The fortress, with its skeleton crew of loyal Zentraedi, is folded from Tirol's corner of the galaxy.

699a.r During a seeding attempt on Pertyon, the Invid catch up with Zor's position and begins a raid. In the threat of the battle fortress falling into the Invid's posession, Zor sends his battle fortress to Earth, manned by a skeleton crew of Zentreadis loyal to him.

Scott and Rand approach Laako City where they pick up Annie LaBelle. The population of the city turns them over to the Invid Shock Troopers, but with the help of a mysterious red Cyclone rider, the Shock Troopers were dispatched. The red Cyclone rider disappears.

Scott and company enter a dust-ridden town and attends a club where they see and meet the famous singer Yellow Dancer. A brawl breaks out and Scott ends it quickly with a shot from his blaster. Here they meet the mysterious red Cyclone rider, Rook Bartley, former of the bike gang, the Blue Angels. Here, Lancer(a male robotech freedom fighter in the guise of a female singer, Yellow Dancer), and William "Lunk" Benovitch(a former robotech bio-maintenance engineer) join Scott on his journey to Reflex Point. Lunk provides Scott with a fully maintained and operational Alpha fighter.

Scott's team discover that the Invid can sense the presence of Protoculture emanations.

Scott's team makes a pit stop at Norristown. Using a Yellow Dancer Concert as a diversion, the team makes away with a truck load of canisters of Protoculture-- fuel for their Robotech mecha.

One night, Rook returns to her home town to settle a dispute which has troubled her ever since she left. Unknowingly to her, Rand is curious and follows. She has a showdown with the leader of the Red Snakes who has harassed the town ever since her ex- boyfriend, Romy, had disbanded the Blue Angels.

The team encounters Colonel Wolff and his anti-Invid underground. For months, Wolff has been giving Robotech soldiers to the Invid in exchange for canisters of Protoculture and the possible release of his wife and son from imprisonment by the Invid. Realizing his grave mistake in his actions, Wolff, in Scott's VT, aids the team in a short skirmish with the Invid and is mortally wounded. Colonel Jonathan Wolff dies.

The Regis performs clonings in Genesis Pits(similar to those on Praxis) to acquire the ultimate form her Invid should take for their new life on Earth.

Scott, Rand, and Annie, while on a scouting mission, discover one of the Regis's Genesis Pits. During an earthquake, the Genesis Pit is destroyed with all the life forms evolved in it.

The simulagent Ariel(cloned from a female human body found in a wreckage of the Mars Division flagship) is birthed and is planted in the route Scott's team is heading.

The team approach Point K, a rendezvous for all surviving units of Scott's invasion force, consisting of close to a thousand veritechs, ground units, assault mecha, supplies, and ammunition. But instead of finding a base, they find a graveyard of ships. The Invid had already obliterated all forces at Point K. The team enters the area in search for ordinance but Scott goes in to seclusion. Rand and Rook scout the area and finds Ariel at a nearby town. Ariel, similar to a newborn child, has not learned to speak. Rand and Rook assumes her to be in shock. Lunk and Lancer discover two operational Alpha fighters and one intact Beta fighter among the wreckage. The group comes together to report their findings and Ariel is given the name Marlene by Scott for she is in the likeness of his deceased fiancee, Marlene Rush.

The team approaches a mountain range and is quickly warned by the nearby town, Deguello, that the ranges are constantly patrolled by the Invid fortress built there.
