Space Defense Robot-04-Mk.XII Destroid Phalanx is an anti-air destroid mecha, first seen in the Super Dimension Fortress Macross television series.

Development[]

The Space Defense Robot (SDR) Phalanx Mk XII was hurriedly developed during SDF-1 Macross' year-long maiden voyage for fleet defense of the CVS-101 Prometheus and the SLV-111 Daedalus after they had been converted for space use. The SDR-04-MK XII was designed specifically for space to defend the SDF-1 Macross, along with its sister unit, the ADR-04-Mk.X Destroid Defender. Development of the SDR-04-MK XII occurred in July 2009 and the rollout was in December of that year.

Technology and Combat Characteristics[]

The newly designed body for the Phalanx was hastily built by combining replacement/repair parts for the MBR-04-Mk.VI Destroid Tomahawk (already loaded onboard the SLV-111 Daedalus) with a simple upper body core structure that neglected any silliness for a weapon composition consisting of missiles, radar, and propulsion system mounted on the main rotating body.

Utilizing a simple structure that depended upon a thermonuclear power system and a simplified targeting and delivery system for guided armaments, the Phalanx specialized in close defense and space operations. Due to the simple design of the SDR-04-Mk XII, this destroid could be mass-produced inside the SDF-1 Macross and perform as a substitution deployment for the much more complex ADR-04-Mk X Destroid Defender.

The Phalanx utilizes the MBR-04 ambulatory system and because of that, it shares a common hip and leg structure with both the MBR-04-Mk VI Destroid Tomahawk and Defender. The SDR-04-Mk XII does suffer from the disadvantage of a shorter drive when it utilizes the thermonuclear propulsion nozzles. Also, the Phalanx combat operation capability decreases substantially once the missile ordnance is exhausted. A model equipped with gatling guns mounted within the head exists (as well as other variations) but the large majority of the Phalanx units are equipped with missiles.
