Genesis Climber Mospeada - Kikô sôseiki Mospeada
Background
The Earth of Mospeada before the series is much like our own, uneasy peace that for the moment atleast has not blosomed into full scale war. The enviroment was heavily polluted and with quickly disappearing oil reserves, scienist
scrambled to find a replacement energy source. They found it in Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe.
Burning similar but better than Gasoline, Liquid Hydrogen became the fuel of choice for most low cost power generation.
The use of hydrogen as a fuel had long being in used with space craft, and this massive increase in it's use also expanded space technology. Soon after the new melenium, a large base was built on the moon and humanity made it's first steps on the red planet, Mars. These colonies became the new frontier and many fled the overcrowded Earth to start again. This push to start anew and become seperate from Earth was most strong on Mars, who because of the distance from the mother planet slowly felt less and less a link. Mars Base quickly declared indepenance from Earth and began enlarging it's military for the war sure to come. The more advanced Mars Base technology base gave them a big advantage and helped to insure it's victory. But like before warfare stopped and life went on as much before.
In the year 2050 however that all changed when the solar system was invaded by aliens called the Inbit. Appearing in an instant as beams of pure energy, their arrival ravaged the planet before the aliens were even sighted. At first they appeared to resemble gaint metalic bugs, but these were only mechanised armor which the aliens moved about in. This mecha could move and react as fast as a human, fly and featured heavy armor that only tanks could get through. Unable to fight the Inbits effectively, the Earth based militaries and the countires they protected were steamrolled before the aliens might. A few limited shuttles and space ships escaped racing first for the Moon and then Mars Base. After the troops from the Moon failed to return after attacking the alien invaders, Mars Base expected the invaders to come after them. But the attack never came, the Inbit only interested in the planet they had captured. At first Mars Base sent their best military units to see if they could make any head way against the aliens, but suffered the same fate as the rest.
Mars Base turned into a military machine almost overnight, with almost all resources going into the recapture of Earth.
With some of the most advanced technology available, Mars Base sciencists began to develop ways to defeat the aliens.
By 2080, the children of the soliders that went to Earth are the next generation of Mars Base troops and are armed with their own mecha. The Mars Base mecha was transformable between a vehicle mode for speed and a humanoid form for combat. This assualt is only slightly more successful then the one thirty years ago. Three years later Mars Base launches the Second Earth Recapture Force, consisting of hundreds of ships and mecha. Among them is the 21st Armored Division, commanded by Lt Cmd Stick Bernard. Though they fought valiantly, the Mars Base troops are defeated with heavy losses.During the battle Stick's fiancee Marlene Rush, is killed and his Legioss crash lands in South America. Turning his sorrow and anguish over Marlene's death into revenge, Stick begins his long trek north to destory Reflex Point, the Inbit's main hive.
Along the way, Stick encounters several charismatic individuals who have been waging their own one-man wars against
the Invid. Rey a cocky idealistic wanderer, Yellow Belmont a former Mars Base pilot disguising himself as a female pop singer known as Yellow, Houquet Eroze a tough lone wolf, Jim Austin a mecha mechanic who hates war, Asiha who is actually a Solugi stage Inbit with no memory of her past and that reminds Stick of his dead fiancee, and Mint a young girl who always causes trouble for the group. The group's members become more than soldiers, they become close friends, almost a family.
Robotech: The New Generation Background
The Robotech version of events takes a much different route to come to the same start. At the end of the Second Robotech War, the protoculture matrix hiden in the hulk of the SDF-1 was destroyed by the destruction of the Robotech Masters Flagship, but not before the Invid Flower of Life seeds were spread over the Earth. The nearby
Invid Sensor Nebular sent this information to the remaining half of the Invid that were led by the Regiss. With no choice because this was the one place in the universe where the Flower of Life actually grew in large numbers the Invid proceeded to our planet. Appearing from hyperspace the Invid fell upon the humans cities and armies, wiping out the mere vermin that would dare live in the same location as their secared flower. All the remantes of the Armies of the Southern Cross fought a losing battle and were rolled over in days. The Invid enslaved the human race to process the flower for the Invid, while the human resistance that had sprung up and few scattered SC units on the moon tried to defeat them.
On the other side of the universe, the Robotech Expeditionary Force that was sent to ensure peace between the Robotech Masters and Earth, but instead ran into the Regent and his Invid forces. The REF had finally defeated his Invid hordes was preparing to recapture their homeworld. The returning REF troops had not even seen this little blue planet, having been born in space and just graduated from military academies on REF controled Tirol.
These troops are trained with detailed knowlege of the Invid under the Regent and believe that they will soon defeat those of the Regiss as well. However the Regiss's Invid are far more deadlier and the Mars Division attack wave is soon destroyed before even reaching the surface. The lone survior is Lt. Scott Bernard and our story reachs the same point as the Mospeada version................
