Robotech Masters is an almost complete inversion of Southern Cross. First of all, the planet Grolier in the Epsilon Eridani star system is recast as the planet Earth. Much editing had to be done simply to remove the second moon from the night-sky scenes, along with much rewriting to justify two campaigns on the Moon, when in the original it was a single campaign each on TWO moons. The Protozol became the Protoculture, which is why the term had to be changed in the Macross segment from a label for the common genetic heritage of human, Zentraedi and Meltraedi into a biological power source. The Protozol themselves went from being a nonhuman intelligence to a psychoactive flower. The Zol, instead of being human/Protozol hybrids, became the Master Race that created the Zentraedi and Meltraedi by genetically reengineering captured hominids. Jeanne Fránçaix became the grown-up version of Dana Sterling (Komilia Maria Fallyna Jenius), daughter of Max Sterling (Maximilian Jenius) and Milia (Miriya Parino). Bowie Emerson, son of Rolf Emerson, became the son of Bowie Grant, the son of Claudia Grant (Claudia LaSalle) and the late Roy Fokker. This is just about all that connect the Macross segment with the Southern Cross segment, casting it as the 2nd Generation of Robotech. Mospeada, of course, would subsequently be cast as the New Generation...
