The History of the Future
2032 Loya Stone born
Invid develop relations with the human communities in occupied areas. Inside North America, the Invid maintain strict control, garrisoning major cities like New York City, and monitoring protoculture emissions very closely. In regions further from Reflex Point, the Invid pressure communities to surrender and collaborate. Those areas that do are given support and power supplies, and these regions maintain and develop prosperous economies. Those that do not remain impoverished, and subject to Invid reprisals for the unauthorized use of protoculture in their area.
2033 Norristown Republic in South America is founded by an elite force made up of former REF soldiers. Fearing attacks by the Invid, Norristown eventually surrenders its mecha and collaborates in exchange for security and a contract to distribute protoculture in the area. The region becomes very prosperous as a result.
REF enclaves like Point K establish trading relations with the surrounding human villages, who provide them with food in exchange for protection.
In South America, soldiers tired of fighting, but unwilling to surrender to the Invid, band together for mutual protection. As the soldiers are no longer attacking the Invid, the Invid largely ignore them. With a growing reputation for safety, more soldiers and civilians emigrate to "Soldiertown", where they begin to raise families.
2034 Wolff's survival of the Invid invasion and ongoing struggle are featured in a film retrospective of Wolff's career to the support personnel and their dependants in all the REF's facilities in deep space. Soon after, contact with Wolff is lost, and he is presumed dead.
2036 Jason Lord born
2038 September 15 An Expeditionary Forces fleet launches an attack on Reflex Point in an operation known as the Earth Reclamation Mission. The attack against Reflex Point fails miserably, and the resistance takes heavy losses. Lt. Lancer Belmont crashes to Earth and is rescued by Carla from Invid collaborators and nursed back to health.
2039 Invid begin a general crackdown of resistance and soldiery in the territories they control, and put more pressure on their human allies to do the same. Numerous towns comply and establish traps where active soldiers and resistance fighters are handed over to the Invid.
Jason Lord's father, Dan dies.
Invid attack "Soldiertown" with a small force, and are beaten back after inflicting great losses to the citizenry. Colonel Wolff, recognizing that the next attack will destroy the town and its considerable number of families and children, agrees to discretely turn over soldiers still willing to fight to the Invid in exchange for the Invid ignoring the town, and a stipend of protoculture
2042 (ROBOTECH- NEW GENERATION)
2043 The surviving REF officers impose martial law on Earth. Their mission is three fold: distribute food and resources to the survivors of the Invid occupation, rebuilt the RDF and restore a civilian government on earth.
2044 The Tactical Deception Vessel One (TDV-1) arrives on the planet Venea. This vessel is identical to the SDF-1, but at half scale. Zor launched this ship at the same time as the SDF-1. Its purpose was the draw the Zentraedi, Robotech Masters and the Invid away from the SDF-1. The TDV-1 had a fold system that randomly jumped around the galaxy. The fold system malfunctions and the vessel crash lands on Venea. Though it is able to mask its protoculture signals, the TDV-1 is still tracked by the Inorganics. The Inorganic, unable to get a precise fix on the TDV-1's location, launch a war on the surface of Venea, killing over half the population.
2047 The REF in the first step in restoring a new government, begins reorganizing. It surrenders control of all planetary military forces to the new Army of the South Cross. All other forces are assigned to the Robotech Defense Force (RDF).
The city of Newmon is founded on the site of Monument City. One of the first structures reopened is the Robotech Academy.
Trials for the new veritech, the Thunderfire, begins.
2049 Earth First Terrorist organization launches an attack on ALuCE base. Jason Lord is on station and helps defend the base. For his efforts, he is awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. However, since Jason is a civilian, he not able to wear the award.
The REF formally turns control of Earth to the new United Earth Government.
2050 Jason at age 14 request that Cmdr. Strong sponsors him for the Robotech Academy. Strong does not on grounds that Jason is too young

Capt Strong is assigned as commander of one of the Restoration 1 mission vessels.
The veritech Thunderfire enters active duty.
Restoration 1 fleet of 20 vessels fold from earthspace. Its mission is to capture a recently discovered Robotech Factory satellite.
2053 Restoration 1 is ambushed by a rogue Zentraedi fleet at the location of Robotech Factory Satellite. All vessels except Strong's are lost. Survivors of the attack assume control of the Factory.
Jason, a senior and cadet instructor, learns along with Gerry and the rest of the cadet body that Restoration 1 mission has been attacked and all hands are assumed lost. Three months later, Strong returns with the Robotech Factory Satellite.
Jason and Gerry graduate from the Academy and attends Flight School.
Lts Loya Stone and Annie LaBelle reunite. Loya is now a Flight Lead for a Thunderfire Squadron. Annie has just completed a mission fighting the Earth First Terrorist organization. Loya admits that she still loved Jefferies and had a hard time letting go. Vows to never love again.
