.....Welcome to The Robotech Compendium!

.....Be advised, this feature is under heavy construction and most links are not enabled at this time as I am in the process of writing a whole new generation of highly-detailed entries. I recommend viewing the Sera and Corg entries to see examples of this new entry style. I also recommend seeing the Veritech entry to see an example of the new entry/image-gallery organization of the Compendium. Eventually, all entries will be as detailed and image-laden as these.

The origin
.....
The origins of this feature can be traced back to early-November of 1997 (yes, 1997). Back then I was an extraordinarily active poster on the Disciples of Zor message board and I spent the vast majority of my free time writing and researching essays and arguments revolving around the debates that raged there. I found that I had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of all things Robotech, and an equally powerful passion to commit myself to finding explanations and answers to everything I wanted to understand more clearly (though in retrospect, I can see how one might easily mistake this intense preoccupation as an unhealthy obsession). Regardless, this pursuit lead me to the realization that my life would not be complete until I had created the first all-encompassing Robotech encyclopedia. The most current evolution of this pursuit is what you see before you.

The sources
.....The Robotech story exists in several different forms; a Japanese anime series (or anime), an adult novelization, a graphic novel, the sourcebooks of the role playing game and many comic series. Each version is generally compatible with the others, but often the details from one source conflicts with those of one (or more) of the other sources. I wanted The Robotech Compendium to be a universal and unbiased Robotech resource and organized it to allow subjects to have separate entries for each applicable source. For example, an anime entry on a subject (labeled [ANI]) only contains information from the anime. A novel entry on a subject (labeled [NOV]) only contains information from the novels, etc.

Source Abbreviation Key
[ANI] - Robotech anime series, produced by Carl Macek
[GNOV]
- Robotech: The Graphic Novel
[MEG]
- Robotech: Megastorm comic series, by Antarctic Press
[NOV]
- Robotech novelization, written by Jack McKinney
[RPG]
- The Robotech Role Playing Game, written by Kevin Siembieda
[RTM] - Robotech: Return to Macross comic series, by Eternity
[TMU]
- Robotech II: The Sentinels - The Malcontent Uprisings comic series, by Eternity
[VER]
- Robotech: Vermilion comic series, by Antarctic Press

The internal citations
.....I wanted The Robotech Compendium to contain only factual information, a distinction that formally classifies it as an informational resource, not as a work of fan-fiction. In order to ensure factual accuracy, I have begun writing heavily researched entries that contain internal citations which indicate the exact source of the quotation or information they accompany. Basically, these entries are like short research papers (and to my knowledge, I am the first person to publish Robotech literature in such a way).
.....As you can imagine, entries of this nature take a lot of work and time to compose (larger ones, like the Corg entry for example, took me over 5 hours to complete). I have not yet had the time to evolve every entry to this stature and as a result, have distinguished those that are up to my standards with "-" markers. Be advised though, not every entry that bears this marker is finished, but I'm doing my best to complete them soon.

How to read the internal citations
.....Anime entries have the following citation format: (e61.04:48)
The "e61" indicates the episode number (Episode 61) and the "04:48" indicates the approximate time within the episode (4min, 48sec).

.....
Novel entries have the following citation format: (b12.11.128)
The "b12" indicates the book number (Book 12), the "11" indicates the chapter number (Chapter 11), and the last number indicates the page number (page 128). The page numbers only correspond with the original paperback novels (I included the chapter number so that fans with the 3-in-1 books will be able to utilize this citation system).

.....
RPG entries have the following citation format: (s05.103).
The "s05" indicates the Sourcebook number (5, which is the Invid Invasion) and the "103" indicates the page number (page 103).

.....
Comic entries have the following citation format: (i03.12)
The "i03" indicates the issue number (Issue 3), and the "12" indicates the page number (page 12).

The images
.....In order to centralize information on The Robotech Page, I have begun to include as many images as possible with each subject's entry. The purpose of these images is to document the subject visually and to show additional details and information. With over 100 images, the Veritech entry is the crowning jewel of this new entry/image-gallery amalgamation. All of the images currently featured in The Compendium were created by me at some point and bear "RP" logos to reflect that. In the future, I may allow fans to contribute images of their own creation (which can bear their logos or initials to ensure proper credit is given where it is due).

Usage of the written content of The Compendium
.....All the entries I've researched, written, and featured here are original and tangible works of my own creation, and hence, are copyrighted literary works. I respectfully ask you to observe and acknowledge that fact by not reproducing them in any form. However, I invite and encourage you to utilize these entries as informational references for your private writing projects, in which case appropriate hyperlinks to The Robotech Page should be given and/or proper citation protocols should be observed.
.....By clicking on the links to view these entries, I must assume that you avow your understanding of these legal parameters.

Usage of the images and sound files of The Compendium
.....In order to promote Robotech and the good will of The Robotech Page, I have decided to invite fans to save and/or use any images or sound files contained in The Robotech Compendium (this includes their usage on private Robotech webpages - Yey!). In return for creating and making these files available to you, I simply ask that you keep the "RP" logo on the images and offer appropriate hyperlinks back to The Robotech Page when necessary. Please do not abuse my generosity and hard work.
