The storyline is described as a direct continuation from the 85th (and final) episode of the original Robotech television series, and perhaps also The Sentinels in an indirect way. The main plot seems to revolve around the Robotech Expeditionary Force's search for the missing Admiral Hunter and the SDF-3, but there are reports of a new adversary behind the scenes.
