The craft collectively known as poacher ships are various vessels of different classes utilized by the poacher group operating around the planet Zola in 2047. The craft are generally larger than variable fighters or shuttles, but are still mostly smaller ships with only a few crew. Two of the three types feature mounted harpoon launchers they use to capture galaxy whales.
*The Poacher space ships all share a similarly themed fusiform shape, possibly designed to resemble fish. This mixes well with the sea-based visuals and plot of the Macross Dynamite 7 story.
