Easy that's the VBF-9 Beta Fighter. The alpha has a designator VF-6 among other varients(VF-7,8,9). The Alpha and Beta fighters are seperate fighters that join together to form a devastating weapon system. The ship appears in the timeline of the Third Invid War. IIRC it replaced the VF-10  Logan fighter (crap design) and VFH-12 Auroran Fighter/Helicopter (though I may be mistaken.)

Actually, thats not quite it...The Alpha/Beta were created in tandem of the Logan and the Hovertank...the Ajacks was actually created by Southern Cross independantly, where as the Logan and Hovertank was used both by the REF and Southern Cross, and the Alpha was developed by the REF during the Sentinal war.

Yup the Logan and Hovertank are southern cross. But the Alpha/Beta was Third Invid War. I'm at work right now,will clarify when I get home ( have all the books LOL). I LOVE Macross. Great job !!!

Meh, the third invid war was a fabrication to try and get more RPG book sales...

I go by the books by Jack McKinney and the series...in the sentinel books both the hovertank, the logan, and the alpha/beta fighters were around in the sentinel war, but the ajacks was only in the second robotech war. at least thats how it is in the books, and i like that system, its more of a tie-in between the different generations.

Yup its the beta fighter ...
Now I have something to connect up with the Alpha I did about a year ago to so I can have the Legios Combination as well. Started modeling the Izumo which I think was often mentioned as the SDF-4 in the tv series. Although it looks nothing like an "SDF" its just so freaking huge I think they called it that out of spite.

There are 4 wars, 5 if you include the Third invid war, which i dont.

They are listed here chronologically
1 - First Robotech War - human against zentradi, in Earthspace. Vertichs, Strike Veritechs, Super Veritechs
2 - Sentinel War, aka: first Invid war - Humans, Tirolians, and Sentinels againts Invid King's forces in Tirolian space. Logans, Hovertanks, Alphas (dunno about Betas)
3 - Second Robotech War - Humans against Robotech Masters, in Earthspace. Logans, Hovertanks, Ajacks
4 - Third Robotech War, aka: Second Invid War - Humans against Invid, in Earthspace. Alpha's, Beta's, etc.
5 - Third Invid War - Invid return and occupy earth again - created by palladium for more sales, and i really like how Steelfalcon.com added to it...i dont consider the third invid war part of the saga, unless included with the enhancments by SteelFalcon.

Just to let you know Max Sterling and Karen Penn do the Alpha-Beta hookup in Earth Orbit BEFORE leaving to Tirolian space. I hate McKinney's "End of the Cirlcle" so I am changing that in my fanfiction.
