The Farrago was the flagship of the Sentinels from that group's inception to the ship's destruction by the Invid over Praxis. It was originally intended as a space zoo by the Invid Regess, led by her officer Tesla, housing living trophies of any species conquered by the Invid, was constructed from modules from Garuda, Haydon IV, Karbarra, Peryton, Praxis, and Spheris docked together.
However, an uprising began, and the different slave races took the control of the ship, capturing Tesla. Deciding to fight against the Invid and free their worlds, they called themselves the Sentinels. After destroying an Invid vessel which pursued them, they traveled to Tirol, where they required assistance of the Robotech Expeditionary Force, which joined the Sentinels' cause, and, in a space battle, the Farrago and SDF-3 jointly destroyed the Pursuer. When they finally departed Tirol, the ship carried within a complement of thousands, which consisted of members from all Sentinels races, including about 1,000 humans from the REF.
Soon after REF members arrived in orbit of Karbarra, it encountered an Invid Flagship and a full fleet. Admiral Rick Hunter gave the order to fire, and they destroyed the mile-long ship with a single blast from the GMU's reflex cannon, later annihilating the Invid fleet. The Farrago was key to free Karbarra in the Liberation of Karbarra. Later, they traveled to the next planet to free, Praxis, but found it deserted. The REF dissident T. R. Edwards had informed the Invid Regent of the Farrago's weakness, and in a surprise attack, the Farrago was destroyed by the Invid as their leaders landed on the abandoned Praxis. The Regent demanded the ship's surrender, but the crew refused to, and the Invd fatally fired at it. That make the Regent and the entire REF believe that all of the Sentinels were dead, but he was wrong: the bulk of them had already landed on the planet. Eventually they were able to escape the planet just before it exploded, using the still-orbiting Spherisian module.
