The ADR-04-Mk.X Defender is the UEDF's

dedicated air-defense Destroid. The Defender
mounts a pair of twin M-996 air-defense cannons,
which are capable of engaging both land and air
targets with impunity. Defenders are more lightly
armored than the other Destroids, allowing them to be faster
on their feet in order to quickly gain a firing position on
incoming enemy mecha and aircraft.

A dedicated missile artillery support Destroid, the

.

SDR-o4-Mk.XII Phalanx often operates side by side with the

Defender in air-defense units or the Monster in artillery
support units. The Phalanx's mission flexibility comes from
the fact that its MDS-H-22 Derringer long-range missile

launchers are capable of destroying both ground and air

All Destroids are designed to fill a particular role in

combat. The MBR-07-Mk.ll Spartan is a versatile mecha created for
dose combat, riot control and boarding enemy spacecraft. The Spartan
.
. functions equally well in front-line combat or defensive positions, but its
real strength lies in close-quarters combat. This Destroid has reinforced
metal hands that can punch and rip through the armor of mecha, the
hull of a spaceship or fortified positions. For riot control and close
combat with Zentraedi foot soldiers, it carries a stun baton,
and can use other, mecha-sized handheld weapons.

We are Zentraed The titans who bring the rule of the

Robotech Masters to conquered worlds. We are the pinnade of all martial
endeavors and the greatestfighting force in the universe. Bred to war.
Faultless in battle. Born in the fires of the Masters' divine will.
Our numbers are legion. Our forces unstoppable.
We are Zent:roedi. The embodiment of power, duty, honor and obligation.

We fight without fear or remorse. We know not of defeat as all lesser races
faD before the Zentroedi might. OUr opponents submit to us on bended knee
orflee in terror at our approach. Those who resist see their civilization
toppled and crushed, the people enslaved. And if so decreed, their
entire race or planet obliterated, for we are Zentraedi.
From the first moment of our cloning we are gifted with the purpose
and determination of the Robotech Masters. Engineered, programmed and
ingrained with all the knowledge and skills needed to carry out their will. We
are the perfect warriors. Shaped over the course of millennia.
We are flawless, adapted for war and made without equal.
We are Zentraedi. Every mission, strategy and tactic is expertly planned,

skillfully conducted and masterfully executed, withfighting instincts and
reflexes honed to perfection through years of intensive training and
indoctrination. None in the universe can best us in battle.
Each caste, Warrior, Elite and High Command, working
in union to triumph over all who oppose us.
We are Zentraedi. The eyes and ears of the Robotech Masters

searching the universe for signs of Protoculture and rebellion.
We are the voice of the Masters that delivers their message.

.
We are the fist that crushes all resistance, eliminates all opposition and
.
eradicates all who oppose the Robotech Masters.

For we are their will made flesh. We are Zentraedi.

We are the fallen. Since the destruction of the armada, we are

trapped on this god-forsaken planet. Unable to return to the stars,
many Zentraedi have agreed to be micronized and live among the
humans. Though bred to be the greatest warriors in the universe,
we have been brought to our knees by these micronians of Earth.
They must be made to pay for this indignity, but instead, Lord
Breetai has declared us free, and invites us to live among the
Earthlings. The idea is madness. We say, no. We are warriors, born
and bred. We are war-bringers and conquerors. If we no longer
serve the Robotech Masters, then we should conquer and rule this
planet. Conquer or destroy them. So we defy the edict of Lord
Breetai. We live by our own rules now. Not by the rules
of Breetai nor the Robotech Masters, and certainly
not the micronians. We answer to no one.
We invite all our Zentraedi brothers to join us in the conquest of

these pathetic little humans. We even embrace those micronians
who accept us as their superiors and desire to be free of the
shackles of their own leaders and human society of weaklings.
They call us rebels, anarchists, bandits and monsters, but the

name that has stuck is Malcontents. It is a name we wear like a
badge, for we are not content. We are the lion, not the lamb. It is
the law of thejungle that the strong dominate the weak. We
Zentraedi Malcontents, and all who fight under our banner, are the
strong. We are the conquerors, not the conquered. And so we take
what we desire. We fight to impose our will upon the weak, and we
exact bloody vengeance upon those who defy us. Be you Zentraedi
or micronian, if you wish to know true power, join us."
Warlord Pallja, a Malcontent Leader
Malcontents are all of the above and worse. Many What started out as a Zentraedi rebellion within the
