Synopsis
Continues the story of Macross 7
35 years after Lynn Minmay's efforts brought peace between Zentradi and humanity during the Macross era, Nekki Basara serves as both guitarist and vocalist for the band Fire Bomber. He lives in an underdeveloped section of the flying colony City 7, which is searching for a habitable world, and he writes and performs songs believing music holds a deeper power. As the colony journeys through space, a mysterious alien race appears and begins attacking City 7. Their assault is unusual—rather than destroying the city, they steal a substance called "spiritia," leaving their victims unresponsive and lifeless. In the midst of these battles, Basara regularly ventures straight into the combat zone, singing his songs in the hope that both allies and enemies will listen and be moved by his music.
In this installment
Less than a year after the events of the Macross 7 TV series, Basara departs from Fire Bomber and journeys to the planet Zola. There, he encounters a girl named Elma, an ardent admirer of Fire Bomber. On this planet, he is compelled to wield his Spiritia abilities once more, this time to prevent a band of poachers and Elma's father Graham from slaughtering a pod of space whales migrating through the planetary system.
