Zentraedi

Manlets, when will they learn?

Also transliterated as Zentradi, Zjentohlauedy, T'sentrati, or Zentrady. Straight from Macross and carried over to Robotech.

A militaristic race of alien humanoid giants created through genetic cloning. Knowing nothing but combat and war, this race divided itself into male and female (Meltraedi) camps, forgetting love, compassion and culture. These guys are the OG space animu aliums and they are playable in Robotech RPG Tactics, and the Robotech and Macross 2 RPGS. This page will cover Macross' version of the Zentradi, if you want Robotech's version, GET OUT.

History

In the beginning, there were aliens. Not just any aliens but THE aliens, we're talking Old Ones tier. These creatures were called the Protoculture, and theirs was a goal to spread their advanced civilization to the universe. They were so powerful they could even create life, in a petri dish, using inert chemicals. It was this ability that saw the creation of the Zen and Meltraedi, space giants who love to fuck shit up, in order to spread their genius to the brainlets who didn't want it. They weren't the only Xenos in the universe, however, nor the only one that was retard strong. Cue the Protodeviln, space demons who can suck the spirit energy out of any being, as well as mind control them. The Protodevlin used their mind raep to control some Protoculture and Zentraedi to fight against each other causing a rapid population decline that would make Japan blush. While the Protodevlin would eventually be defeated, the Protoculture was extremely crippled and their race was doomed. This made them look for a culture to carry on their work, mainly because the Zentraedi were too stupid to do what they did and rebelled. So, they chose the monkeymen of Earth.

Space War I

Millions of years went by after the Protoculture genetically influenced Earth and were then genocided by the Zentraedi. Earth was still getting its shit together. They had just fought a global civil war between the evil United Nations that wanted to do away with individual culture and the proud freedom fighters who wished to see their nations stay independent. Unfortunately, the good guys lost, and Earth was united under the UN. After this they found lots of lost technology that could conveniently be made for battle. The earthlings made lots of plane Mecha, regular Mecha and the SDF MA-KU-ROSS, a giant battleship that could transform into an even BIGGER Mecha. The Zentraedi saw this and seethed to high heaven as this technology was used by the protoculture, so they invaded the planet in 2009 and waged a war for the complete annihilation of the Earthlings. Do to some tomfuckery, the Macross, invading Zentraedi and the entire island it was on was teleported all the way to the end of the solar system. Lots of action battle took place until they heard a teenage Japanese industry plant play her mixtape about her boyfriend being in the military or a reminder on what love is. Needless to say, the beast was stunned, so much so they turned against their leaders and eventually settled with the humans...Admittedly not ALL of them sided with the little people of Earth and even blew up its surface, but the ones that mattered, and stayed alive, did.

The Present

After space war 1, the once proud warrior race had been completely turned. The Zentraedi were wearing blue jeans, playing vidya, and listening to the jams that Earth culture provided. Some of them even shrunk themselves to human size! The Zentraedi had completely fallen in line with the humans throughout the knockoff Zentraedi invasion, some crazy bitch of an A.I. idol, and the Protodevlin coming back for round 2. They may have had a few hiccups here and there, but they've been officially declared honorary Humans and are the main reason why people still shill their soundclouds in the middle of active warzones to this day.
