SDF2 Cruiser

The SDF-2 in cruiser mode.

Megaroad-13 or 13 Megaroad or Megaroad-class was a class of Macross-class ships built by UN Government around 2010s. It was the first human-built Macross-class ship (since SDF-1 Macross was effectively a restored alien ship).

The Megaroad class could hold a complement of 80,000 people. As a transport/colony ship, most of those were presumably colonists.

It housed a number of VF-4 Lightning III mecha.

Construction of the first Megaroad vessel begun in November 2003 in the lunar base. Interrupted by Space War I, SDF-2 Megaroad-01 was launched in September 2012. Constructions of Megaroads 2 and 3 begun around the same time. On average, one or two Megaroad vessels would be completed and launched yearly for the next decade or so until superseded by the  New Macross-class in 2030.
