• Xiao Ran broadcast the battle worldwide, displayed the retrieved Original Constitution, and explained Newtypes and their abilities, prompting strong public support.

Xiao Ran’s revelations about Newtypes, the Original Constitution, and the FOLD Space Jump Engine drove public support toward the Unity Army and threw the Earth Federation into turmoil. As the Federation struggled with defections and unrest, both sides consolidated their forces, while the Federation sought to exploit the Unity Army’s severe resource shortage.

• Xiao Ran revealed the existence and dangers of Newtypes, exposed the Federation’s experiments, and demonstrated the Frontier’s FOLD Space Jump Engine to the world.

After a month of fighting and territorial shifts, the Unity Army held much of Earth but paused its advance while the Swift Shadow Astrays neared readiness.

• Xiao Ran chose to build specialized C-class units and D+-class Mirage System Astrays rather than expand the Unity Army with masses of standard mecha.
• Luo's Anaheim R&D department produced over three hundred specialized units and around one hundred Swift Shadow Astrays, while crews charged Particle Storage Tanks for their operations.

• The Federal Army opened fire on the Galaxy Diva’s fleet before it reached the fortress, and Xiao Ran entered the Justice Gundam and ordered the battle to begin.

Xiao Ran began the assault on the Federal fortress, using the Galaxy Diva’s long-range fire to cover the Swift Shadow Astrays’ covert deployment. After the Galaxy Diva unleashed nuclear Reaction Missiles and fired its Macross Cannon, Mwu ordered a feint and a tactical retreat to mislead the Federal Army about the ship’s remaining weapons.

• Xiao Ran ordered the fleet to draw the Federal Army’s attention while the Swift Shadow Astray unit prepared to infiltrate, then sortied in the Justice Gundam with Tactical Armor No. 1.
• Mwu directed the Unity Army fleet to exchange fire beyond effective range as the Galaxy Diva advanced and launched waves of missiles at the Federal forces.
• The Federal Army discovered that many of the incoming missiles carried banned nuclear warheads and concentrated its fire on intercepting them, though some missiles struck its fleet.
• The Galaxy Diva transformed and fired its Macross Cannon toward the densest part of the Federal fleet, but Xiao Ran ordered Bobby to stop the ship.
• Mwu ordered the Galaxy Diva to fall back and told Moses to move the fleet forward in a feint while concealing the ship’s remaining firepower.

Xiao Ran led the Unity Army’s assault through the gap the Galaxy Diva’s MACROSS Cannon had blasted in the Federal fleet, then overwhelmed the enemy with the Justice Gundam Tactical Armor. He escaped a suicidal encirclement and returned to the Galaxy Diva, breathing heavily after his strongest form taxed his Mental Power.

• Mwu ordered Sheryl to prepare to support the Federal counterattack by singing for the soldiers.
• After the Galaxy Diva’s MACROSS Cannon devastated the Federal fleet, Xiao Ran led the Justice Gundam Tactical Armor and the Unity Army through the opening.
• Xiao Ran synchronized four Solar Furnaces, spread GN Particles across the battlefield, and attacked the Federal fleet at overwhelming speed.
• The Federal commander ordered suicidal assaults against both the Galaxy Diva and Xiao Ran, while the rest of the fleet advanced toward the Unity Army.
• The Unity Army scattered and turned away as Xiao Ran vanished from the encirclement and reappeared before the Galaxy Diva, exhausted.
