a QF-300E Ghost drone from The Macross Saga.
A Drone was an automated combat fighter or mecha that were controlled independently or even remotely by computers that were typically used for high-risk or training situations.
In the First Robotech War, QF-300E Ghost fighter drones were used to defend against the invading Zentraedi warriors attacking Macross Island alongside Veritech fighters.
By the Third Robotech War, the Robotech Expeditionary Force developed Shadow Drones, based on the Alpha fighter frame, for use against the Invid. These automated machines were created to evade Invid detection and were part of the assault on Reflex Point in 2044.
