Several years ago, a mysterious space-ship crashed on Macross Island… In the intervening years, the people of Earth used the ‘Robotechnology’ from the ship to significantly advance their own technology. The ship – named by the humans as the Super-Dimension Fortress – actually belonged to a race of giant aliens, the Zentraedi the crew of the SDF-1 were forced to space-fold away – taking a chunk of Macross City (and its 70,000 citizens) with them. And then, the long journey home began – with the Zentraedi being a constant, deadly threat along the way. On the journey, the SDF-1’s Captain Gloval, died and Lisa Hayes took over his position. Rick Hunter went blind, but developed a different kind of vision connected to the Protoculture that powers Robotechnology. Minmei was also affected and developed powerful abilities through her voice. Lazlo Zand kidnapped Roy and held him captive, and with a cloning chamber he found on the original crashed SDF-1, Zand created clones of Roy and Gloval. A devastating all-out war broke out between the Zentraedi Dolza and the humans of Earth – with massive casualties on both sides – while a small group of Zentraedi aliens defected to the SDF-1. Dolza was eventually defeated and peace seemed to return… But the story is far from over. The Invid are becoming a huge threat and it emerges that a life-support chamber had dropped into the ocean when the SDF-1 originally crashed into Macross Island. The chamber contains a young female…

Ten years have passed since the end of the first Robotech war which almost destroyed Earth. Now General Rick Hunter is heading out in the new flagship SDF-3 on the most important mission of his life… Together with his intrepid crew, including alien warrior Breetai, fiancé Admiral Lisa Hayes, and ex-girlfriend Lynn Minmei, Hunter must travel to Tirol, the homeworld of the legendary Robotech Masters, and attempt to open up diplomatic relations. There he finds a world devastated by a far more deadly threat, the Invid, a ruthless alien race hellbent on seizing the secret of Protoculture, the power source behind all the Robotechnology.

A father and daughter carve their way across Europe to complete their revenge against the dwindling clan of Vikings that destroyed their lives so many years ago. Elsbeth Dagsdottir has not forgotten the oath her father made to her on that remote Icelandic beach: to deliver revenge upon the Forty Swords clan that burned their village and murdered her mother. It might take them a lifetime of struggle and suffering and loss, but a promise is a promise. Created by Brian Wood (Northlanders, The Massive, DMZ) and Mack Chater (Briggs Land, Lazarus), Sword Daughter is a visually stunning, emotionally poignant story of parental guilt and acceptance of loss.
