Another vessel that never appeared in the animated movie, the Alien StarShip One was nonetheless redesigned for the film like many of the capital ships in the original television series. In Super Dimension Fortress Macross The Movie: Do You Remember Love? the ASS-1 is a Meltran Gun Destroyer that crashed on Earth in 1999. Rebuilt by humans it becomes the SDF-1 Macross and thus this version of the alien spacecraft is designed to explain the visual differences of the SDF-1 Macross (Film Version) from that of the television series vessel. Just like the original ASS-1 in the television series, very little detail is revealed about the alien ship except that it has the distinct super dimension energy gun common to the most powerful anti-ship/anti-fortification warships.
