Khyron's ship approaches the SDF-1. (Macross Saga: To the Stars)
The Battle of New Macross City was the final attack on the RDF by the Zentraedi Malcontent leader Khyron. During the attack, the SDF-1 was destroyed by Khyron's Warship, killing Henry Gloval, Claudia Grant, Vanessa Leeds, Kim Young, Sammie Porter, Khyron, Azonia, Grel, as well as hundreds of Humans and Zentraedi. (Macross Saga: To the Stars) Anatole Leonard would later refer to this battle as the final battle of the First Robotech War, (Masters Saga: Dana's Story) although it would be more accurate to call it the most infamous of the Malcontent Uprising attacks, but by no means the last. (Robotech: Battlecry)
