Macross Frontier is an animated television series in the Macross universe. It is being produced by Satelight and is scheduled to premiere in April 2008 on MBS channel in Japan.

The series celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross TV series (1982~1983), and is a direct sequel to Macross 7 (1994~1996). This third TV series features the U.N. Spacy's latest main variable fighter, the VF-25 and a new spaceship called the Macross Frontier.

On the Macross timeline, the story is set on the year 2059. The series features the 25th colonial fleet, dubbed the Macross Frontier, en route near the galactic center.

During a mission to an unexplored asteroid belt, a reconnaissance VF-17 is destroyed by powerful & fast insectoid biomechanical alien mecha, which immediately begin their attack on the rest of the fleet. Not being able to stop the new enemy threat, the U.N. Spacy forces authorize the deployment of an organization called S.M.S., which utilizes the new VF-25 variable fighter to destroy the alien menace.
