Zentraedi Ship Formations
(Version 1.00 - Last Modified: 08/05/2003)
Introduction
While the Zentraedi may have been disposable troops for the Robotech Elders and Masters, and while the Zentraedi had no
problems with sacrificing their own lives to serve their leaders, the leaders of the Zentraedi maintained a highly
structured military organized throughout the entire existence of the Zentraedi armada. The Robotech Masters were
extremely paranoid and maintained a huge fleet, even though there was no enemy that could possibly threaten them. The
most dangerous opponent that the Zentraedi ever fought against was the Ci'Vonians and their fleet of 200,000 Zentraedi
ships. Once those enemies were destroyed, there were no dangerous enemies for the multi-million ship armada to fight,
not even the Invid dared to challenge the might of the Zentraedi armada. Unfortunately, the Robotech Masters did face
an enemy, Dolza, the Supreme Commander of the Zentraedi. Although he appeared to be loyal to the Robotech Masters, he
had overcome his genetic training and was beginning to look at the Robotech Masters not as his masters, but as his
enemies. He began planning against them and subverting the loyalties of the Zentraedi so they would be loyal more to
him then to the Robotech Masters. Although his plan was decades away from completion, he had already gained the support
of the Dolza Main Fleet and much of the Adoclas Main Fleet, only the larger Gorg Main Fleet had to be subverted before
his plans were ready. While Dolza's death and the destruction of the Zentraedi armada over Earth in 2011 CE may have
signalled the end of the Tirolian Mercantile Empire, the empire's end was only a few decades away anyway, for Dolza
surely would be led a successful revolution against them.

Ship Unit Formations
- Ship:
The ship is the smallest operational unit within the Zentraedi fleet and a single ship can travel alone or
belong to a larger formation. Although some ships rarely travel alone, such as the Nupetiet Vergnitzs flagship,
others, such as the Tou Redir scout ship, are often encountered alone, detached from their parent formation.
Zentraedi ships are designed to be reasonably self-sufficient, with enough onboard supplies to sustain the ship
for long periods of time. During military conflicts, some of the smaller ships may require fresh supplies to
replenish ammunition and replace lost or damaged mecha, but beyond combat, each ship is designed to remain at
full efficiency between visits to a Zentraedi supply base or Robotech Factory Satellite. Female units are little
different then there male counterparts, except with one important exception: the female Zentraedi units do not
operate Ground Assault mecha units, instead they have Air Assault units. On any female Zentraedi ship, replace
any existing Ground Assault unit with the equivalent Air Assault unit.
- The Tou Redir Class Scout Ship is, by far, the most numerous of the Zentraedi ships. Quite small
compared to other Zentraedi ships, the Tou Redir scout ship has only limited offensive capabilities and a
small mecha complement, but it was still quite powerful, even when encountered alone. When not needed to
carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Tou Redir scout ship carried two Combat Pod
Companies, one Cyclops Scout Platoon, one Fighter Pod Platoon, one Heavy Artillery Platoon, one Power Armor
Platoon, and one Recon Scout Platoon.
- The Rineunadou Lojmeuean Class Monitor was built as a mobile platform for one of the most powerful
Reflex Cannons built by the Tirolians. Although the cannon is not as powerful as the later Tirolian ships,
it is one of the most powerful cannons on a ship of its size. Unfortunately, the cannon requires a huge
amount of internal space, leaving the ship with only a small mecha complement and other weapon systems. When
not needed to carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitor
carried one Combat Pod Battalion, two Fighter Pod Companies, one Power Armor Company, and one Reconnaissance
Company.
- The Thuverl Salan Class Destroyer is the workhorse of the Zentraedi fleet. Although not as common as
the Tou Redir scout ships, the Thuverl Salan destroyers outnumber all of the other Zentraedi classes in
sheer numbers. These ships provided an excellent balance of firepower and troop capacity, making them useful
in a large variety of roles. When not needed to carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the
typical Thuverl Salan destroyer carried two Combat Pod Brigades, one Cyclops Scout Company, one Fighter Pod
Battalion, one Ground Assault Battalion, one Infantry Battalion, and one Reconnaissance Company.
- The Quiltra Queleual Class Transport (Troop Variant) was originally built as an armored cargo ship,
but the same design was later expanded into include two variants. The first variant resembled the original
armored cargo ship, while the other was an armor troop transport. Designed to carry a large number of
troops, the Quiltra Queleual transport possessed only limited offensive capabilities compared to other
Zentraedi ships. When not needed to carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Quiltra
Queleual transport carried one Combat Pod Division, one Fighter Pod Brigade, and one Ground Assault
Division.
- The Quiltra Queleual Class Transport (Cargo Variant) was originally built as an armored cargo ship,
but the same design was later expanded into include two variants. The first variant resembled the original
armored cargo ship, while the other was an armor troop transport. The original version of the ship was
designed to carry a large amount of cargo, from food supplies to Protoculture reactors; these ships
provided the Zentraedi armada with fresh supplies during long military campaigns. When not needed to carry
excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Quiltra Queleual transport carried one Combat Pod
Brigade, one Fighter Pod Battalion, and one Reconnaissance Company.
- The Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship was a unique ship within the Zentraedi fleet. The concept
behind the command ship was that it could separate and leave the majority of the ship behind, while the
forward ship would get much closer to an enemy to provide additional cover for the Zentraedi forces. To
this end, the forward section is, individually, very heavily armed, but it holds a very limited number of
mecha. When not needed to carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Queadol Magdomilla
command ship carried one Combat Pod Division, Ground Assault Battalion, and one Fighter Pod Brigade.
- The Nupetiet Vergnitzs Class Flagship was the rarest ship in the Zentraedi fleet, although thousands
of these gargantuan vessels were built for the Zentraedi. Equipped with the largest complement of mecha and
bristling with weapons, the strength of the Nupetiet Vergnitzs flagships was unmatched. When not needed to
carry excess troops from larger mecha formations, the typical Nupetiet Vergnitzs flagship carried one
Combat Pod Division, one Fighter Pod Brigade, and one Ground Assault Brigade.
- The Fulbtzs Berrentzs Class Command Base was built as the new headquarters of the entire Zentraedi
armada. Built in the years following the removal of the Ci'Vonian threat, the Fulbtzs Berrentzs command
base housed the majority of the Zentraedi cloning and limited educational facilities as well as several
important shipbuilding facilities. The Fulbtzs Berrentzs command base carried three Air Assault Armies,
seven Flight Superiority Armies, ten Heavy Assault Armies, four Inspection Armies, eight Mobility Armies,
and three Planetary Invasion Armies.
- The Robotech Factory Satellites were built to support the massive Zentraedi fleet. Constructed from
hollowed asteroids, no two factory satellites were identical, although all had very similar features.
Heavily automated, the factory satellites needed only a small crew relative to its size, but this small
crew was offset by the large defense forces ordered to protect these critical facilities. The typical
factory satellite carried one Mobility Army.
- The Robotech Super Factory Satellites were conceived as larger, more powerful versions of the normal
factory satellites. Unfortunately for the Tirolians, only two of these facilities were ever constructed. The
first was destroyed soon after it became fully operational, but the second avoided destruction at the hands
of the Disciples of Zor and remained in operation long after the collapse of the Tirolian Mercantile Empire.
Even though the sole surviving Super Factory Satellite was completely automated, it still relied on a large
defense force to protect it from attack. The super factory satellite carried one Heavy Assault Army and one
Fighter Pod Division.
- Squadron:
Squadrons are the basic building blocks of the Zentraedi fleet. All ships are first organized into basic
squadrons that provide escort units for larger ships or group similar ships together for increased combat
capabilities. Squadrons generally have limited mission goals and will be tailored for that mission, as will
its commanding officer.
- The Assault Squadron is a basic combat unit used in the Zentraedi fleet and consists of two Thuverl
Salan Class Destroyers and one Tou Redir Class Scout Ship. Each squadron has a total of three ships: one
Tou Redir scout ship and two Thuverl Salan destroyers.
- The Combat Squadron is a basic combat unit used in the Zentraedi fleet and consists of one Thuverl
Salan Class Destroyer and two Tou Redir Class Scout Ships. Each squadron has a total of three ships: two Tou
Redir scout ships and one Thuverl Salan destroyer.
- The Escort Squadrons are directly tasked to protect the large Zentraedi ships, that is their only
mission and their training reflects that. An Escort Squadron consists of four Tou Redir Class Scout Ships.
Each squadron has a total of four ships: four Tou Redir scour ships.
- The Fire Support Squadrons are organized to provide additional fire power to larger units and rarely
operate outside of large fleet formations. Fire Support Squadrons consist of three Tou Redir Class Scout
Ships. Each squadron has a total of three ships: three Tou Redir scour ships.
- The Gun Boat Squadron is a small unit formed around a very powerful Reflex Cannon and consists of a
Rineunadou Lojmeuean Class Monitor and two Tou Redir Class Scout Ships. Each squadron has a total of three
ships: two Tou Redir scout ships and one Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitor.
- The Scout Squadron is a typical unit of scouting ships, often sent to explore unknown planets or to
probe an enemy's defenses. A Scout Squadron consists of two Tou Redir Class Scout Ships. Each squadron has
a total of two ships: two Tou Redir scout ships.
- The Support Squadron holds the basic supplies that most Zentraedi fleets require and consists of two
Quiltra Queleual Class Transports (Cargo Variants) and one Tou Redir Class Scout Ship. Each squadron has a
total of three ships: one Tou Redir scout ship and two Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo).
- The Troop Squadron is a basic troop transport squadron built around the massive troop variant of the
Quiltra Queleual transports and consists of two Quiltra Queleual Class Transports (Troop Variants). Each
squadron has a total of two ships: two Quiltra Queleual transports (troop).
- Company:
Zentraedi companies are the most commonly encountered Zentraedi force within the Tirolian Mercantile Empire.
Although formally part of a larger battalion, the companies are often sent out independently of the rest of the
fleet and operate under their own authority most of the time.
- The Assault Company is different from the Combat Company in that it is used for first-strike, frontal
attacks instead of general purpose combat. The Combat Company consists of three Assault Squadrons and one
Scout Squadron. Each company has a total of 11 ships: 5 Tou Redir scout ships and 6 Thuverl Salan destroyers.
- The Combat Company is different from the Assault Company in that it is used for general purpose combat
instead of first-strike, frontal attacks. The Combat Company consists of three Combat Squadrons and one Scout
Squadron. Each company has a total of 11 ships: 8 Tou Redir scout ships and 3 Thuverl Salan destroyers.
- The Fire Support Company is an important formation for fleet battalions and represents a significant
fraction of their fire power. A Fire Support Company consists of four Fire Support Squadrons. Each company
has a total of 12 ships: 12 Tou Redir scout ships.
- The Gun Boat Company is a powerful fleet unit based around a number of powerful Reflex Cannons and
consists of one Combat Squadron and four Gun Boat Squadrons. Each company has a total of 12 ships: 8 Tou
Redir scout ships and 4 Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitors.
- The Scout Company is used for long range exploration and for limited probing actions against enemy
fleets and consists of four Scout Squadrons. Each company has a total of eight ships: eight Tou Redir scout
ships.
- The Support Company keeps the larger Zentraedi formations in supply during long operations or during
intense military conflicts and consists of three Support Squadrons. Each company has a total of nine ships:
three Tou Redir scout ships and six Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo).
- The Troop Company is a force to behold, holding over a hundred thousand Zentraedi all by itself, and
consists of one Combat Squadron and three Troop Squadrons. Each company has a total of nine ships: two Tou
Redir scout ships, one Thuverl Salan destroyer, and six Quiltra Queleual transports (troop).
- Battalion:
A battalion is the first level where the unit of ships is commanded by a dedicated headquarters, in this case
a Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship. The battalion is also the first level where soldiers are given broad
orders and are expected to carry out their orders as they see fit. Where a company commander would be given a
specific task or mission to perform, a battalion commander would be given a list of objectives and would be
expected to create their own battle plans to achieve their objectives.
- The Assault Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, four Assault Companies, two Fire Support
Companies, a Gun Boat Squadron, and a Support Squadron. The battalion headquarters consists of a Queadol
Magdomilla Class Command Ship and an Escort Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 75 ships: 47 Tou Redir
scout ships, 1 Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitor, 24 Thuverl Salan destroyers, 2 Quiltra Queleual transports
(cargo), and 1 Queadol Magdomilla command ship.
- The Combat Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, four Combat Companies, two Fire Support
Companies, and a Support Squadron. The battalion headquarters consists of a Queadol Magdomilla Class
Command Ship and an Escort Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 72 ships: 57 Tou Redir scout ships, 12
Thuverl Salan destroyers, 2 Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo), and 1 Queadol Magdomilla command ship.
- The Fire Support Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, one Combat Company, and five Fire
Support Companies. The battalion headquarters consists of a Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship and an
Escort Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 76 ships: 72 Tou Redir scout ships, 3 Thuverl Salan
destroyers, and 1 Queadol Magdomilla command ship.
- The Gun Boat Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, four Gun Boat Companies, and one Support
Squadron. The battalion headquarters consists of a Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship and an Escort
Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 64 ships: 45 Tou Redir scout ships, 16 Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitors,
2 Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo), and 1 Queadol Magdomilla command ship.
- The Mechanized Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, two Assault Companies, two Combat
Companies, three Fire Support Companies, one Support Squadron, and one Troop Squadron. The battalion
headquarters consists of a Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship and an Escort Squadron. Each battalion has
a total of 74 ships: 51 Tou Redir scout ships, 18 Thuverl Salan destroyers, 2 Quiltra Queleual transports
(cargo), 2 Quiltra Queleual transports (troop), and 1 Queadol Magdomilla command ship.
- The Support Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, one Combat Company, and three Support
Companies. The battalion headquarters consists of a Quiltra Queleual Class Transport (Cargo Variant) and an
Escort Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 43 ships: 21 Tou Redir scout ships, 3 Thuverl Salan
destroyers, and 19 Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo).
- The Troop Battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, one Combat Company, one Support Squadron,
and three Troop Companies. The battalion headquarters consists of a Queadol Magdomilla Class Command Ship
and an Escort Squadron. Each battalion has a total of 46 ships: 19 Tou Redir scout ships, 6 Thuverl Salan
destroyers, 2 Quiltra Queleual transports (cargo), 18 Quiltra Queleual transports (troop), and 1 Queadol
Magdomilla command ship.
- Brigade:
A brigade is larger then a battalion, but unlike the battalions, brigades often do not operate as a whole and
independently of the divisions they are attached to. The policy of the Zentraedi to allow sections of a Brigade
to be detached and operate independently, but to not allow an entire Brigade to operate independently baffled
the RDF when they first learned of the situation following the alliance of Breetai with the RDF on the SDF-1
Macross, but to the Zentraedi, the policy had always been in place and they had never questioned it.
- The Assault Brigade consists of a brigade headquarters, four Assault Battalions, two Fire Support
Battalions, a Gun Boat Company, a Support Company, and a Troop Squadron. The brigade headquarters consists

ships: 377 Tou Redir scout ships, 10 Rineunadou Lojmeuean monitors, 147 Thuverl Salan destroyers, 18 Quiltra
Queleual transports (cargo), 2 Quiltra Queleual transports (troop), and 8 Queadol Magdomilla command ships.
- The Combat Brigade consists of a brigade headquarters, four Combat Battalions, three Fire Support
Battalions, a Support Company, and a Troop Squadron. The brigade headquarters consists of a Queadol
Magdomilla Class Command Ship and three Escort Squadrons. Each brigade has a total of 532 ships: 429 Tou

- Division:
Divisions are the major operational ship units for the Zentraedi. Traditionally, the Zentraedi have operated
only a few fleets, but within each fleet are a number of divisions. Divisions are the most autonomous of the
Zentraedi units, often operating without new orders or new supplies for years and are only given to the most
loyal and capable commanders. Due to their size and strength, divisions will often be assigned a number of
missions to perform simultaneously and, generally, a Division often breaks up into a main core group of ships
and a number of battalion sized units spread over the division's area of operations.

- Fleet:
From an operational view, the Zentraedi rarely operated above division size, but for administrative purposes,
they are organized in much larger units called Fleets. The Zentraedi maintained a number of different types of
fleets, but for experimentation purposes and for specific tasks, they maintained a number of unique fleets.
With only a few exceptions, fleets rarely operate within the same star system, and are usually spread across a
huge area of operations.
- The Branch Fleet is a strange unit formation within the Zentraedi military and was used for
especially difficult missions and assignments. These fleets received extra training and experimental

- Main Fleet:
The Zentraedi armada is split into three main fleets. Each main fleet consists of a million or more ships and
has enough firepower to destroy any enemy force that the Tirolian Mercantile Empire has every encountered. None
dared challenge the might of the three Zentraedi main fleets. A main fleet is almost never encountered as a
whole, and fleet is considered a single unit for administrative purposes only, although at the discretion of
the fleet's commander, or Supreme Commander Dolza, a main fleet can be brought together for a single operation,
although this was rarely done.
- The Adoclas Main Fleet or Imperial Main Fleet is the main offensive fleet of the Zentraedi military
forces. It receives the highest level of training of the three main fleets and is manned by veterans of the
wars against the Invid and the Disciples of Zor. The Adoclas Main Fleet consists of a main fleet

a large percentage of Dolza's fleet is stationed at his main headquarters and never leaves. Unfortunately,
training is relatively lax in Dolza's fleet, making it the least experienced fleet, but it generally receives
weapon's upgrades and experimental ships and mecha first. The Dolza Main Fleet consists of a main fleet
headquarters, 4 Branch Fleets, 12 Direct Combat Fleets, 14 Direct Defense Fleets, 14 Inspection Fleets, 4
Mechanized Fleets, and 6 Planetary Invasion Fleets. The main fleet headquarters consists of a Nupetiet
