Newspace was an anomaly in space, a white void, that as created by the Regess. In 2035, when Haydon betrayed the Robotech Elders, he dragged them along with him as he traveled through Ranaath's Star and into the extra-dimensional "newspace". Haydon and the Regess battled and when Haydon triumphed, he took possession of newspace to use as a tabula rasa from which he could conduct his experiments, leaving the old universe behind. The SDF-3 was dragged into newspace when it tried to return to Earth; the children aboard were affected by protoculture. Dispatched recon fighters disappeared and were marked as "presumed missing". The crew wished for new fold drives, to be rewarded with the ones from the SDF-1. With these installed within the modern space fortress, they were able to escape and return home, as were the missing fighters. Due to an additional time dilation effect took place, the ship returned to the Earth neighborhood in 2045, ten years later.
