History

Unification Wars

Space War I

On February 6, 2009, the night prior to the launch of the SDF-1 Macross , she went out partying with her boyfriend, Major Roy Focker. A day later, her best friend, First Lieutenant Misa Hayase, who had just got on the bridge, jokingly talked about the aforementioned event when Claudia complained about Captain Global for not being on the bridge on time, she initiates banter about Misa's lack of a love life. After the SDF-1 automatically detected Zentradi ships above Earth, Claudia was shocked to see that the Macross's original systems were all powering themselves up and that they are switching over to firing mode. Misa told Claudia to shut down all systems but they were not responding, the Macross continued to transform into firing mode. After the Zentradi ships were destroyed, Claudia confirmed that the ship's systems are finally back under their control, but there was now a huge gap created by the Macross cannon in South Ataria Island . (SDFM: "Boobytrap")

Later that day, during the calm before the battle, the Macross prepared to launch as ordered by the Politician. After the Macross Operators had confirmation that the gravity control systems were in the clear, Claudia was asked by Captain Global about the their then current reactor status, Claudia told him that they could launch any time. She proceeded to transfer the main reactor output to the gravity control systems and began counting down from 10. But the gravity control systems broke through the bow, and Claudia could not explain to the Captain why. Later, Roy returned from battle with his Skull Squadron , contacting the the bridge, when he told Misa that he had sent the enemy forces back to where they came from, Claudia shoved Misa aside in order to ask Roy how many fighters is shot down. She jokingly called Roy lame for only shooting down 10, Roy retorted that he had gotten rusty after two years of peace.
