The United Nations Spacy (統合宇宙軍 Tōgō Uchūgun, usually referred to by the initialism U.N. Spacy and sometimes U.N.S.) is a faction featured in the offical Macross Timeline. They also appear in the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again and its movie adaptation. The U.N. Spacy are the space warfare branch of the United Nations Military, although they can also engage in aerial and maritime combat like the U.N. Air Force and U.N. Navy. They were succeeded by the New United Nations Spacy in the official timeline.
Overview
The organization's name is a portmanteau of Space and Navy, therefore making the word Spacy. In the fictional Macross chronology it was established after 1999 by the successor to the modern United Nations in order to defend Earth from a possible attack by hostile aliens. However, from 1999 to 2008 the U.N. Spacy was also involved in the Unification Wars, fighting against a human Anti-U.N. faction opposed to the formation of the worldwide U.N. government. A year later the U.N. Spacy was involved in the subsequent Space War I, defending our planet from an hostile extraterrestrial race called the Zentradi.[1] Later operations of the U.N. Spacy expanded into interstellar colonization and general peacekeeping of off-world Earth settlements.[2]
At the time of the Zentradi invasion, the U.N. Spacy's assets included military bases on Earth, the Moon and Mars, squadrons of variable fighters and other mecha, several capital ships in orbit and the repaired SDF-1 Macross on South Ataria Island, the flagship of the United Nations Spacy.[3][4][5]
New U.N. Spacy (N.U.N.S.)
According to the fictional Macross chronology, since the end of Space War I (2009 A.D. - 2010 A.D.) until the latest animated series, Macross Frontier (2059 A.D.), the original U.N. Spacy has been reorganized into the "New U.N. Spacy" or N.U.N.S.[1] The new organization functions as a space military force that is in charge of the protection and defense of the different colonization fleets of the Human and cultured Zentradi alliance and the planets they have colonized across the galaxy. The New U.N. Spacy now has a much bigger space navy composed mostly of military bases established on those planets as well as several defense fleets scattered among the colonization fleets. Each defense fleet is composed mostly of improved Human and Zentradi capital ships, new variable fighters and other mecha and at least one SDF-1 sized vessel used as command base for the current fleet.
Notes & Trivia
See also: Macross Parodies and Pop Culture References The "Spacy" (宇宙軍 Uchū Gun, lit. "space military" or "space army") was coined by the show's creators as a portmanteau of "space" and the suffix "-y" to be analogous to the words army (陸軍 Riku Gun, lit. "land military" or "land army") and navy (海軍 Kai Gun, lit. "maritime military" or "maritime army")
